Hi everyone! Once again I let my blog go for far too long. Everything is great here, but as everyone knows life seems to get in the way of blogging sometimes. One of my New Year's resolutions is to post regularly again, but for now here is a little tour of my home all decked out for Christmas!
This is our living room area in the great room. We got a HUGE real tree this year and plopped right in the middle of the room between the dining area and living room. I LOVE it! Of course we filled it with all handmade and vintage ornaments. Such a happy colorful tree!
It wouldn't be Christmas without our beloved Christmas pyramids (we call them whirly gigs).
Here is a full room shot with a little bit of the dining room. We have lots of handmade items out this time of year, including afghans, patchwork blankets, pillows, and table toppers. I'm also loving our Dept 56 village on top of the tv armoire.
This is the first thing I see every morning when I come down the stairs. Such a lovely start to the day!
Next we move on to the dining room area.
This little shelf is above the buffet I usually treat it as a mantel by adding garland and lights. Most of the ornaments here are from IKEA.
Here's the hutch. This year I decided to add red and white polka dot wrapping paper to the back. I love it so much, I am thinking about leaving it up all year round.
Our second "whirly gig is a bit bigger than the one in the dining room. My talented mom over at Happy Little Cottage made the adorable red and white table topper :)
Of course I have to include a picture of little Sophie!
So that's a little slice of my house all decorated for Christmas! How is your decorating coming along this year?
That's beautiful! I love all the red and handmade things. And your German Christmas pyramid is wonderful. Boy, you have two! That's so cool! We got one last year, and I just love it. Oh, I am pinning all your Christmas decor :) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the delightful tour!
I'm having so much fun decorating this year.
My hutch is filled with good, vintage fun!

Wow, your decorations are incredible. I love everything about these rooms, Christmas-related and otherwise.
ReplyDeleteIt looks gorgeous, just like last year...you must want to kiss that pup all day long sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I can't wait to start, but we have a late sinterklaas celebration this sunday, so I need to wait till monday.... It is a good thing I am off work monday :). I did work on some handmade decorations for the tree though, so new birds, owls and acorns are already waiting for the tree!!!

ReplyDeleteIt was worth the wait! I love the rooms, decor and the TREES! I never thought to use wrapping paper as a background in a hutch. I'm going to do that for sure!
ReplyDeleteYour home looks so lovely and inviting. All the reds are just wonderful. I think you should leave the paper in the china cabinet year round. It's so cheerful!

Your house looks beautiful - like out of a magazine! I have not seen Christmas ornaments in our IKEA like yours; the ones in ours are very dull. Maybe I should take a second look as I love red and white things. xxx
ReplyDeleteThat's so gorgeous I don't want to leave!!!!! Came over on recommendation by your Mom, so glad I did!
ReplyDeleteHugs ~ Mary
Your house is beautiful and it does look like a magazine. I have a Yorkie too, Izabella. She is a 9 pounder. Yours is a teeny one. My mom has one that small but she is a little wide, hah.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty sight to see in the morning when waking up.
Good going.
I took some pictures of our tree. I'll do a post tonight.
