Christmas Home Tour 2013

I’m joining the Nester’s Christmas Tour of Homes like I do every year, wouldn’t seem like Christmas without her tour.

I’ll start with the livingroom, my mantel constantly gets changed around and this year I brought more red into my home,

so when I saw the wreath at Target I had to get it along with a couple bottle brush trees.

 

Here is my newest Christmas pillow isn’t it cute?

 

And my other one on the other end of the couch.

 

Above the couch on a shelf some of my collection of old bottles,

 

 

On the other end is this and a snowflake votive !

 

 

My diningroom is open to the livingroom…

 

 

 

I didn’t do to much in the entryway, just moved a chair there and filled the tarnished silver bowl with pinecones and candycanes.

Or the bedroom except for some white poinsettias.

 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Review of 2012

Hi friends! From visiting all your blogs I see you all had a wonderful Christmas, so glad, ours was great too and yesterday we had another one because Michael and Corrie came home from Annapolis. Needless to say I’m all Christmased out. The decorations are all still up and will be until after the New Year.
I just wanted you to know that I haven’t been on here to post because my hubby bought me a new lap top for Christmas, it’s Window’s 8 and I’m totally lost with it. I love the speed of it which is wonderful but learning the different ways to do things is daunting to a woman of my age. So I don’t know if I’ll keep it or not, I like to use Live Writer to post to my blog but putting it on the new lap top they want my password and ID that I just can’t remember…I know… stupid not write it down :) Does anyone have windows 8? Any tips or suggestions? I’m using my older one for now!
Now on to my most viewed posts okay?

Our Christmas Home Tour

Happy Day to you all! What a wonderful season this is, how blessed we are to  decorate our homes to celebrate our Saviors Birthday!
I’d love to take you on a tour of our home for Christmas 2012, we will start in the entryway okay?
I had to use lights because we have had rain and gloomy weather for going on a week now. I also went a little simpler this year by that I mean I didn’t drag everything out like I used to.
I’ve had this quilted stocking for years and always bring it out to hang on this narrow piece by the closet.

I used real greenery from Lowe’s my first time ever for around my front door, so I tucked a few pieces in the stocking and every time I go past I get a whif of Christmas!

My holly wreath with the Got Snow sign and no we haven’t had any snow yet this winter, hope we get some for Christmas eve.


Now how about the kitchen, it’s just to the right of the entryway. I always use faux garland with lights above the kitchen cabinets.



On my PB curtains I tied some black polka dotted bows on and those sweet little mitten s&p’s are from Hallmark this summer on clearance.


This is on my work table that is right off the kitchen. The wicker sleigh was my mom’s, I remember this from my teenage years.


The diningroom is my fav this year!

Love my bench here at the table!



Livingroom mantle and tree in silver, black and white! I added another silver reindeer and some cute little stars to the garland.


Oh Christmas Tree!




I hope you enjoyed my Christmas tour this year!
Thanks for stopping by because I know you are so busy right now!
