The Halls Have Been Decked

Hello dear friends.  Here are a few pics of our holiday decorations. It was an interesting experience this year.  One reason for that is that I have not decked the halls in three years.  Two years ago, we went on a cruise and last year we moved into the house.  It was kind of fun and a little overwhelming pillaging through the red and green containers.

This year's theme is less is more.  Or otherwise, Mom is a big ol' lazy pants.

I put a few of the kitchen pics on an earlier post.  If you missed them, it's your lucky day.  Here they are again.

I love these wreaths so much.  What are your thoughts about keeping them up all year round?

I love my Enchanted Home bell jars and planter!
By the way... Tina has an incredible give away from Homegoods going on right now.  Please don't enter - I want to win it!!

I got this cute lavender tree at Whole Goods.  I actually kept it alive for a whole ten days.  RIP lavender tree.

We always get an artificial tree.  I would like to tell you the reason is because we have allergies.  But the real reason is Felix Unger the Mister does not like to see pine needles on the floor.

I haven't done a room reveal post on the den because it is hard to photograph.  The room is long and doesn't look right in photos.  The former owners had this room painted in a light color with dark stained woodwork.   We changed the paint and woodwork color and had the doors made for the bookcases.  There's also a fireplace but I didn't take a photo because I haven't done the mantel yet.  Don't judge me - I still have nine days.

We spend most of our time in this room.  The Mister just loved hanging these wreaths.  I'm just happy that Christmas only comes once a year!

That's it for now.  I hope you are having a wonderful week.
