Christmas Home tour 2018

Love to decorate for Christmas. Here's some of what you'll see at my house. Some of the pictures are a little dark - sorry.

When you first come in you will be greeted by a bench with these little guys

and a hutch full of Christmas...

I  draped a vintage table runner over the chair in the kitchen...

and filled my antique hoosier cabinet...

I collect these sweet little mice called Charming Tails... can you see him? ( on top of the jar)

my counters...

above my stove...

I love the top of my refrigerator, it's filled with gingerbread men...

Vintage aprons and pot holders are scattered about...

I like snowmen...

another hutch in the dining room..

I hang greens and ornaments from my chandelier....

Shelves in the living room...

don't forget the bathroom! the only room I do in pink...

Whew - that's a lot! but I can sit back and enjoy the season now.

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

New Christmas Bedroom

It had been such a long time since I updated my bedding and curtains. The curtains I had were still in fair condition but my comforter had seen better days. I decided that I was ready for a change. Unfortunately, I didn't take before pictures but trust me they needed to go. It's amazing how much dust accumulates throughout the years!
  I searched all the local stores but there was nothing I liked. Whatever I bought had to match a burgundy wing chair I have in the room. Thank goodness for online shopping! It took awhile and a lot of cleaning and paint touch ups but I LOVE the way it turned out and since it's the Christmas season I decided to add some Christmas to the bedroom, something I never did before.

I found the perfect burgundy curtains online - I love the gingham and they actually make the room feel larger.

I found this rooster at the local Goodwill store.

New pillows, comforters,and sheets makes everything feel luxurious. I added some garland around my headboard and footboard and a new Christmas pillow. I've had this vintage bed forever.

This is where I read and spend quiet time with the Lord. The chair dictated my color scheme.

 I have a thing for pitchers. Love finding them at thrift stores.

A simple little tree by the window.

Two little wreaths hang from the new curtain rods.

The pillow above is the one I started with then I made this one from a placemat from Kohl's. I just opened up the backing and stuffed it. I think I like it better.

I added a little tray with more accessories from the thrift store and it's done!

I love the way it turned out and firmly believe that your home should be something you enjoy - I definitely will enjoy it - I think it's now my favorite room in the house. What do you think?

                                                             

Merry Christmas!
