Home Tour - Christmas 2013

Welcome!

 

I’m not going to talk a lot about each picture, so just enjoy the simplicity I used to decorate our home this Christmas.

 

My little angels welcome you.

 

These candles are from my mom.

Maybe not something I’d have bought BUT

Since they were in their home for years,

They are important to me and I think I really like them.

 

Now for some evening twinkle.

 

I wanted more “twinkle” this year and less ornaments.

I really love the warmth of lights at night.

When candles are lit and lights shine, that’s warm and cozy to me.

 

This antler is actually my dads.  It’s not faux, it’s the real thing.

I did put a little gold paint on it for the season.

 

Another antler (unpainted)

 

 

My little angels are waving good-bye from this angle, so I guess that a good-night to you.

Thanks for dropping by.

Curb Appeal

Who doesn't want 'curb appeal'?

I knew our house needed some pizzaz so I thought I should start with a wreath.

I always thought they looked nice and I should make one,

I just never did.

I found this wreath at a garage sale for .10

Now, even if I never made a wreath, who could pass that up.

Then I went to my favorite Dollar Store and bought these flowers.

Tools of the trade were just wire & clippers.

Then just weaving and tying where need be.

I was quite impressed at the outcome for my first wreath.

I believe I could make quite a few for the different seasons.

Here's my Vanna, my husband.

I think he's proud & happy it worked out for me,

otherwise he has to hear my pouting.

My finished door (for now).

We really need to paint the door as it's just factory grey/white.

As for the planters, those are plastic grass' too but soon to be real flowers.
