Our purple front door is decorated with a simple wreath, flanked by two artificial trees and a snowman! All the windows have swags with matching bows:
These 3 Wisemen are almost 2' high and sit atop the china cabinet. The flower pot is hand painted by Angie Strauss, a favorite artist of mine from Canada:
The dining area in our home is changed occasionally....
....and saw a few changes over the last month...
...the tree is decorated in champagne and gold...
...and santa sits by the tree!
The table is perfect for lunch for two:
The vintage glass cabinet displays one of my favorite collections of Possible Dreams carolers and Santas....
Some of them are over 35 years old!
A Mark Roberts Santa sits on top!
The black and white tree sits on the kitchen counter....
...and another favorite decoration, my Christmas Crate:
My kitchen table opens up to be about 10' long and is perfect for a crowd:
The great room has our traditional tree trimmed with ornaments that bring back memories of many, many years!
The mantle is filled with lots of mercury glass, silver, lights and a tree filled with over 20 years of Swarovski crystal snowflakes and stars....
....and our stockings I made years ago hang on the mantle, waiting to be filled!
A side chest holds red battery operated candles, with candle rings from Grandin Road and star picks from MacKenzie-Childs, that come on each night with a timer...
The coffee table holds a MacKenzie-Childs centerpiece:
Another side table holds an old MacKenzie-Childs snowman and a few coordinating trees
The guest bathroom has a few simple decorations matching the room's decor....
....as well as one of the guest rooms....
Our home is a ranch that we have lived in for 9 years. After our girls "flew the coop" we decided to start brand new again after living in our "starter home" for 30 years. It was a great move for us, only 2 miles away from our first home. It's cozy, comfortable and is a fun home to decorate for the holidays!
I hope you have a joyous and healthy holiday and that the New Year brings you happiness and many new adventures!
