The holiday season requires the best for entertaining. Any top-notch host has a table and chairs that elevate their space, with a beautiful tablescape to match. As a result, we’ve created a series of Holiday Entertaining Ideas for you to try before the madness of the season begins!

This holiday season, consider a more mature palette centred around earthy tones for the background of your memories.

HOLIDAY ENTERTAINING IDEAS

Jennylyn has created a warm and inviting tablescape.  This is a series of DIY Fusion projects great for entertaining guests this holiday season (or any occasion).  Of course, we have to leave the cooking part up to you!

Learn How to Paint a Table using Fusion Mineral Paint, and learn the difference between top coats and finishes depending on the base colour you chose.

We’ve got great info on paint prep for larger pieces like this, and how to avoid brushstrokes.

Jennylyn paints some chairs with a French Linen Stripe and shows you how to avoid bleed-through while stencilling.

Find a light fixture or chandelier that fits your style. Does it need a facelift?  If so, check out some things to consider before repainting a fixture.

Then we come to the tablescape!  These Paint Dyed Napkins and Painted Place Cards can be made last minute and are easy to do with the kids!  Secondly, be sure to take note of the rest of the table, where Jennylyn has chosen elements such as burlap table runner and gold accents.

Consider November’s color story as a starting point for your holiday tablescapes.
