Thanksgiving's over; and here we are - already December 3rd.  How the time does fly!

So in keeping with the season, today our Home Decor Thoughts segment looks at two different dining rooms that are decorated for the holidays.  They are very different looks.  The first is rich, enthusiastic over-the-top decking the halls.  While the second is restrained, edited elegance,  with more of a hint of the holiday season.

Both are beautiful.  The one you that appeals to you most is simply a matter of your own taste, and your own style of decorating for the holidays.  What I like about them both: they reflect the homeowners' personalities, and both rooms fit in perfectly with the overall styles of the respective houses.

And what about your own dining room - and house?  Do you like to go for broke?  Or do you prefer a simpler approach?

If I  find photos of my own holiday dining room, I promise I'll post them too.  But I'll tell you now - mine's different every year - never quite the same, depending on how limited (or not) my time is.  And what about your house?  If you have photos you'd like to share - email them to info@bellafigurausa.com
