Christmas 2014 House Tour

I, like most of you, have been very busy the last few weeks decorating, entertaining, shopping, wrapping presents, cleaning.  You get the idea.  I wanted to share some photos of my home decorated for Christmas before it was too late! Please enjoy this little tour of my decorated home.  I am not going to comment much…

Decorating the Front Entry for Christmas

The front entry of your home is usually the place that first greets your guests.  At Christmastime, it becomes the perfect space for lovely holiday decoration. I was asked to decorate this front entry for Christmas last week.  So, I thought it would be fun to take you through some of the process.

I was on my deck the other day and saw that there was a rose blooming on the bush that a very good friend of mine gave me on my birthday way back in January.  Somehow, I didn't kill it over the winter and decided to put the small bush in a pot and place it on my back deck for the summer.  Since June it has been b…
