Christmas 2025

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 …

Christmas Dining Room 2025 And An Easy Menu for Hosting

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. This year, I went big with plaids and pops of red accents. I added natural touches like pinecones and acorns (picked right from my neighborhood!) and, of course, lots of candles for that cozy vibe. For the table settings, I mixed things up using our formal white plates with Christmas accent plates. The best part? I didn’t buy a single new item. Everything you see is something I …

Christmas 2024

Welcome to our home for the holidays! I usually adorn the staircase garland with ribbon but I didn’t want to use any this year (I made up for it in other rooms though).

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

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 …

Christmas 2023

Welcome to our home for the 2023 holidays! This year I’m embracing nature, earthy touches, and neutral colors with a touch of traditional reds and greens. Our kitchen tree is an ode to our vacation to Quebec City, Canada because we enjoyed macarons and hot cocoa almost every night in old Quebec. So there are several macaron ornaments on the tree. This summer I found out that I love ferns (mostly because I haven’t killed them yet). It started with one and now I have three. I decided to leave them out on the kitchen table and dress them up …
