Christmas 2020 Home Tour

Merry Christmas Dear Friends!!

Well, you know that old saying,

“Better Late Than Never”

Time has surely flown by this

Christmas Season for me.

I quickly took some photos of the

house, so that I can share my Christmas Home

with you. Our first Christmas in the

Hickory Cottage!

So sit back and enjoy more photos

and less talk!

    THANK YOU for this beautiful tour of your gorgeous new home! I can’t pick a favorite room as they are ALL done so beautifully! The large poinsettia in the sunroom is GORGEOUS! Do you know what it is called? I saw many pieces that I remember from years past. The kitchen tree is one of my favorites too. I hope you will get to see your son and family? WE won’t be seeing anyone and my heart is heavy but “this too shall pass”, as they say. Have a wonderful, happy, blessed Christmas and New Year, Shirley.

    Shirley, what a beautiful home you have! So festive and bright. I can’t wait to get into our new home in April so I can decorate. But have to ask, where to y’all watch television. That has been my biggest decorating challenge. Anyway, your trees are just beautiful. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

    Dear Shirley,

    I follow your blog but don’t comment very often. Your new home is lovely. It is grand, but yet cozy, which I think is the best! Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas.

    I don’t know where to begin! It’s all so unbelievably beautiful! I love the “Haint” blue in your front porch ceiling. The Master Bedroom is mind-blowing perfect (love the chandelier), I like how you kept the colors muted, but bright. The clay Nativity Set in the sitting area is awesome! I’ve never seen another one like it. Beautiful! Would you mind sharing the name of the color that you used in your bedroom walls and trim? I love it! Then, there’s the Guest Room. Love the “just right” Christmas tree! This room is so welcoming, and it says Christmas without overwhelming. I would love to stay in this room! Also love the pillows all over the house. Actually, I’d love to take you pillow shopping with me! Well, I think I’ve used enough exclamation posts for a single post. I am so wowed. Your hard work has paid off!
