it's all about the hospitable home
Dear Readers,
Today, I thought I would give you a couple of peeks of the Guest Room
and the Christmas Tree.
Christmas tree? Yes, Christmas tree!
I have to start very early due to my schedule.
I must say it is going to be a bit different this year.
The full reveal will be on November 21st so stay tuned.
But first let’s start with a couple of sneak peeks of the Guest Room.
Yesterday, I gave you a sneak peek of what I have been working on this week.
It’s a Patriotic themed white Christmas tree.
I am partnering with Tree Classics to bring you the Patriotic Fridays with Tree Classics Blog Hop.
This Blog Hop features a white Christmas tree that we have decorated
in a patriotic theme, inspired by the bravery of our beloved soldiers.
Soldiers who fought, and those making the ultimate sacrifice,
to defend and fight to preserve our precious freedoms
that we hold dear in this great Country of ours.
Today, I have a Mini Christmas Tour for you.
I guess you can say it’s Part One of my Christmas Home Tour.
I do have a some sneak peeks of rooms I that I have yet to reveal.
Let’s start with the Dining Room.
This year my Great Room Christmas decor began with a beautiful flocked tree.
Thus began with the thought of doing a Snowy Christmas theme of
white and neutrals in the room and maybe a pop of color here and there.
Today, my friends and I are partnering with the wonderful company
of Tree Classics for Snowy Sundays, featuring My Snowy Christmas Great Room.
The first room in which I usually initiate my Christmas decorating each year,
other than the foyer, is my Sunroom.
This year was no different. I began decorating the room
by putting up my Memory Tree. The tree that is filled with ornaments
that I have collected and have been gifted to me over many, many years.
I was actually decorating this tree Halloween night!
Yes . . . placing ornaments on the tree in-between answering the calls of the
Trick or Treaters for their treats.
Now, it is definitely Christmas in the Sunroom.
For the first decorated room/area reveal this Christmas season is the room/area
that you first see when you enter my home . . . The Foyer for Christmas.
This year, rather than filling the house with many of my Christmas treasures that
I have collected over the years, I am trying to embellish the things that I already have.
This way I do not have to banish lots of accessories into the attic.
Now it is not to say that I am not using many of my Christmas treasures,
just scaling down a bit.
I have been busy decking the halls, but no boughs of holly . . . yet.
I thought that this year I would scale back on the number of trees
that I would decorate for Christmas. However, so far, I have done three
and possibly one more if time allows.
I thought that I would show you some snippets of what I have been doing.
First a peek at the dining room tree.
Happy Holidays!
Today I bring you my Christmas Home Tour 2016 – Part 1.
I am joining the wonderful 12 Days of Holiday Homes Tour of 25 homes,
hosted by Jenny of Evolution of Style and Amy and Christy of 11 Magnolia Lane.
A big thank you to these amazingly talented ladies … and speaking of thank you’s ….
this tour is sponsored by the wonderful folks at Lynch Creek Farm.
And if you are coming by from Heidi’s at Home by Heidi …. welcome.
Welcome to my home all decked out for Christmas!
Rainy day Christmas decorating was what I did yesterday.
Yes, it rained all day long!
However, that was OK, as I am still busy decorating the house
getting ready for a Christmas Home tour on Sunday.
When the Holiday season nears, I look forward to planning on how I want to
Deck the Halls in the Sunroom.
It is a room that I feel I can have fun with whatever theme I chose
for the Christmas season.
I decided to dress the dining room in my favorite Christmas traditions.
With that decision, I decided to do the same in the sunroom.
Filling it with happy memories of the past and present.
Actually it all started with a tree, as in the dining room. A beautiful tree.
