Holiday Style Oliohop

I'm thrilled to welcome you to 2012 Olihop Holiday Style!

Before I begin let me explain a little about what an Oliohop is.  
It all begins on Olioboard, an online tool for creating 2D and 3D design boards.

An Oliohop is a blog collaboration of 10 bloggers at the same time.  This month we are focusing on Holiday Style.

Perfect, I know!

We are taking a look at my vision for Tablescapes Holiday Style this year, 2012.

I always begin with some inspiration.  Soft, quiet colors of Duck Egg, muted greens and natural burlap.

I always mix old with new.  Some unexpected with traditional.

Let's take a look at Holiday Style in my own home.  A work in progress...



My Annie Sloan Work Book for making notes and tracking my thoughts.  Duck Egg Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ is my inspiration for everything.


Yes, that's a book...and yes I painted a pearl necklace...the unexpected!

The final table for two for the Holidays.



Buffalo Check in a soft Duck Egg Blue.






I put my Apparel Design skills to work and made an apron just for the Holidays.


Now for the final Olioboard Tablescapes Collection...

My favorite part of Oliohop is seeing and sharing the other amazing nine bloggers and their posts!

    Jane ~

    This post is absolutely wonderful! I love the reindeer in the glass jar idea! I have a gold reindeer like that and I will try that.

    As a member of the Olioboard team, I thank you on behalf of all of us for participating in today's #OlioHop. You did an outstanding job and we all loved how you focused on one aspect of #HolidayStyle: TableScaping and showed it so beautifully as you've done it in your own home. It makes everything so much more real and you've shown people how to go from from inspiration to integration!

    I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your husband and daughter, Jane, and thank you again for participating today!

    Warmest Wishes and All The Best For You in 2013~

      Leslie, I'm just thrilled you like it! The reindeer is such a simple yet beautiful statement. I am loving our Oliohop so much that I am going to continue with it over the next two weeks. I still have my Christmas tree, packages, stocking and I have incorporated a little watercolor too. Maybe some pillows, if time allows.

      You have a wonderful Christmas as well! Salut to an amazing 2013, it will be a big turning point for Olioboard. You have done an amazing job for them and it really shows! Such a wonderful community and an honor to be a part of the team, I am grateful.

      Jane Gianarelli :D

    Reading each of the blog posts and viewing the Olioboards created especially for the Oliohop have me brimming with holiday spirit. How else can I explain swirling & vivid memories of watching "Sound of Music" as I read your blog and this excerpt, "Soft, quiet colors of Duck Egg, muted greens and natural burlap....." Jane, thanks for sharing your gorgeous post! Happy Holidays! Andie xo

    Jane, love what you have done. The Duck Egg in the bottles, on the tray, lid, plates and ornament mix so nicely with the burlap. Hope you enjoyed using the Annie Sloan Work Book too. Thanks for Linking Up and Happy New Year!
