I finished decorating my living room last weekend and I'm very happy with the results. Little vignettes scattered throughout the room make me happy.
No plastic ornaments this year. I'm back to using all the ornaments I've collected over the years. Elijah, Charlotte and Penelope are (hopefully) old enough to understand that they shouldn't touch...and Caleb isn't mobile enough to reach them!
The bookcase is my favorite piece of furniture...it was given to us about thirty years ago by Bill's parents. They had it hidden away in their basement. It's a beautiful piece of furniture and the only piece that has always "lived" in the same spot in our home.
I like to cover the picture in the frame above the bookcase with wrapping paper at Christmas time ~ this is the second year I've used this pattern..I love poinsettias!
This creamy white cupboard was purchased about 18 years old, with the intention of painting it. I still intend to paint it. Then there's that mirror that I asked for "Opinions Please". I still haven't made up my mind about what to do with it. Someday I will. The white cupboard is a "Christmas Cupboard" all year round. Manyof my favorite decorations are stored inside. The cupboard is in an alcove behind the front door..the perfect spot for a bit of Christmas every day!
