HOLIDAY HOME TOUR 2010


Welcome to our home, all dressed up for the holiday season.  This year I rested some of my usual decorations and bought aand made a few new things.  I decorated with red, green and silver. 





I was inspired to make this garland by a magazine photo.  I found a big container of these mixed ornaments at the hardware store back in October and started planning my theme back then!






This is a close-up of one of the ornament clusters made with the mixed ornaments.  The mix even included stars, snowflakes and bells!  It was a real find.  I purchased the red and silver garland from the same store.







I found some red snowflakes to add to the mix.







The view from my kitchen.









A close-up of the china cabinet.






The stockings are hung by the chimney with care, except for Maggie's which is spending Christmas in New Jersey this year.







My little collection.








A tablescape.




So that is it for this year.  I hope you enjoyed touring my little house and all the holiday sparkle.

Enjoy the holiday season and have a Happy New Year!

    Beautiful decorations. The only thing we have up is our tree. It's a decidedly non-decorated Christmas around here this year.

    It's so pretty. I love the garlands -- I need to do something with my stairs.

    Oh my, I love how pulled together and elegant everything looks. The garlands are beautiful. I'm so impressed with your mantel -- when we had a fireplace, I was never able to get ours to look so nice.
