Over the years I have evolved how I decorate for Christmas and this is what I am doing now. I have a low tolerance for lots of things all over the house. So, I pack my decorating into smaller areas. I have a couple areas in the house and this is one of them. Also, when we moved I don't know what exactly happened to our decorations so I have had to buy new ones. So for one room I have picked a color palette that I can add to year after year (usually in after Christmas sales), silver, gold and green. The biggest thing missing is artwork, which is sort of funny since I am an artist who paints paintings. shannonsportfolio.com I took down our daily artwork and didn't have anything I wanted in its place. I'll work on that.
Center of an alcove with sideboards
close up of the candles
table lamps at the end of each cabinet drapped with beaded garland
nativity that I got this year from Primitive Peddler, it reminds me of one my grandmother had
close up of the decorations and tree (I didn't put lights on this go round, next year)
bowl is from Hobby Lobby which I love
- university surplus sale= chair $5 painted Ralph Lauren silver (can't remember which one)
- Hobby Lobby= bowl, pillow, candles, crystal ornaments
- Primitive Peddler= tree, nativity, icicle beads
- lamp shade, light base= Target
I waited way too long to decorate this year so I am committing to start earlier next year.
