Christmas – Tina's Chic Corner

Christmas 2025

December 17th, 2025Tina0 Comments

I usually share recipes here at Tina’s Chic Corner, but during the holidays I also love giving you a peek inside my home. It’s a fun way to document the season for myself while sharing a little inspiration with you (if you’re looking for it). In our living room, I don’t usually decorate this space because we’re rarely in here, but this year I felt inspired to add some holiday cheer, and I’m so glad I did. Even if we don’t use this room, it’s lovely to see it walking by. I combined my love of heirloom pieces with a …

December 10th, 2025Tina0 Comments

Christmas has officially taken over my dining room and I’m loving it! Since this is where we gather to host, I wanted it to feel warm, inviting, and full of holiday cheer.

I wanted a minimalist look so I only added these flameless candles. I wasn’t sure how it would turnout but I love the simplicity and festive feeling, kind of old world like. For the tree in our kitchen, I went with a nature theme. I used lots of ribbon for bows, dried eucalyptus and clear glass ornaments. Here’s a close up of the beauty. I’ve had these …

Christmas Dining Room 2024 and A Fun Christmas Dessert Recipe For Hosting

December 17th, 2024Tina0 Comments

My husband and I love to host dinners with family and friends during the holidays. Everything you see in these photos are things that I already had, except for the table runner and fresh flowers. Yet, this scene looks very different than what I’ve done in past years. It just goes to show you that you don’t need to buy all new things every year. I love an excuse to buy fresh flowers but I do it on a budget. Two words… grocery store. I bought 3 bunches with a single flower type in each for only $15 total and …
