This is what we woke up to this morning!
Now this is more like it!
The reason I love living where we do,
happy monday!
A Northern Christmas
Welcome to our home!
Come on in and take a look
around,
The letters on the ladder tree spell
'family'.
My paper whites have
grown a litle since this picture
but they are a lot
slower then last year.
Our living room ready for
company,
:)
More of our mantle is
here.
Our Dining room, I have posted more pictures
here.
More of our Christmas kitchen can
be seen here.
My oldest daughter has moved
for University,
so I have changed her room to
the side of the house,
and gave it a
Shabby Chic Christmas
feel.
Shabby Chic was my whole
house in Revelstoke, it is
slowly changing. But doing
her room in this style
reminds me how much
I love it.
The frames are filled with wrapping
paper that she picked out
the last time she was home.
I made banners to hang
over a window and
a mirror, I will show you
them later.
Hope you are having fun
getting ready for the seasons
festivities. Enjoy
your family and loved ones!
I am joining
some Christmas link parties..
More Christmas
I kept it very simple on top of
our kitchen cabinets,
Creams, greens and a little black.
Some silver, and lights.
The little lights make such a
difference.
A quick and easy craft project...
and a new rooster!
Happy decorating,
Abby,
The Santa Nook
I think I have re arranged this space ENOUGH!
I am calling it complete. You know
I am calling it complete. You know
how it is...you step back and ...
always tweaking.
:)
always tweaking.
:)
But that's the fun in it!
Santas are pretty much everywhere in
our home through
Christmas.
I painted out the nook in
the dining space and I think
it has helped with the
shelves I have tucked inside it.
All the silver is from my Grandma
and I think there is a piece
tucked in there from my
husbands grandma.
I love that they have been through a
few generations.
Candle holders made by my
daughters in school...I
just added the torn fabric.
:)
This pitcher came from Super Store,
$4.00.
That's it!!! $4, I couldn't
NOT get it!!!
:/
Some more Santas.
and
more Santas.
So there it is my dining nook for the moment.
Have fun tweaking your
home!
Abby

A start to Christmas 2012
Christmas 2012
My version of
'Cottage Sparkle'.
Hermione is such a great helper,
he loves the ribbons.
This year I wanted Christmas to feel a little lighter,
not too heavy with garland and greenery.
Instead have lots of white and cream,
silver, pinecones and a few berries for color.
Big, wooden candles holders painted white
adds more 'cottage'.
Now I am just waiting for the paper whites
to start pushing up through the moss.
:)
(They have turned into a tradition,
so easy and pretty once they start
to show themselves.)
A little burlap ribbon, natural.
Mercury for a little sparkle, and
the curtains help with the
cosy.
:)
And that is my attempt
at Cottage Sparkle.
You can go here to
see last years mantle.
Now I am going to work on
the kitchen and the dining room,
the fun continues!
I HOPE that you are having a
wonderful season, with lots
of love in your heart and
happiness in your
home.
Abby
