It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

There's a tree in the grand great room,

and one in the den as well,

The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the caaaaaat......

Okay, so I'm a better designer than I am a song writer....

As my favorite holiday approaches, I am doing everything in my power to keep from buying real reindeer to graze on the roof! Over the top? Please! I'm just getting started!

 Putting a little foliage in the stockings make them seem more inviting before they are filled with presents.

 My life doesn't stop when I'm taking pictures :) The hubs is still paying bills and the cat is still lurking in the corner...

 Walking in a Winder Wonderland...

Suction cups are my best friend when it comes to Christmas! I love adorning the windows with things that pop with the background of a dark night.

 This was affectionately referred to by one of my "fans" on HGTV.com as my "Yard Sale of Silver Shit". That comment still makes me laugh!!

I went with an upscale rustic theme for my office. Burlap ribbon on the tree contrasted beautifully with white frosted glass and mercury glass ornaments. I bought iridescent burlap ribbon to adorn the packages later.

I found these trumpets in July for 90% off the discounted price! It was Christmas in July!!

I've had this "antique" phone since college and used it to beep up my husband into our apartment. It still makes me smile :)

 Again with the suction cups... :)

 Simple ornaments are the easiest decoration!

Simply placing extra ornaments in a vase is the fastest way to make a centerpiece- Instant glow!

Happy Holidays to you and yours!
