New Years Eve inspiration and photos

As I was browsing Pinterest I came across some simple, festive ideas for New Years Eve.  We stay home and celebrate with the girls, we barely make it to midnight and this was no exception this year. I planned a simple dinner of Tri-tip, baked potatoes and cranberry spinach salad with sparkly cuppcakes for dessert.  The above photos are pinned to my boards on all things food related board and the photos below are the photos of my dining room/table as inspired on my boards.

I moved the table long-wise because I think it fits better this way but the jury is still out on that.  I think I like the black round table better in there.

I thought this was a neat idea but I only had two sets of white lights, lots of green-corded white lights so I'll head out this week and see if there are any left after" the after the Christmas sales". I think it would look pretty on Valentines day or Our Anniversary in March.

All of the items on the table I have had foreva!  The only think I got was the Smith and Hawken silver Bell Ornaments at Target at the after Christmas sales last week. I bought the only 3 I could find, had to dig and dig to the bottom of the shelves and I only came up with 3.  I need one more.  I thought "Ringing" in the New year was a fun theme idea to go with.  

Wine glasses waiting to be filled up with Bubbly or Sparkling Wine, I bought a Moscato for tonight, a bit sweet for my taste..so I used mini silver ornaments as a filler until the wine was popped open.

The Sparkling cupcakes.  There is a recipe I wanted to try for Champagne cupcakes but since this a party to be shared with 3 non-drinkers in the household {Mr. Incredible doesn't drink}  I'm the lone alchy.  I went with a standard white cupcake with buttercream frosting and added the dragees for a festive look.  Here is the recipe if you want to try the Champage one...I'd like to try it for a Girlfriends Birthday.....
