Merry Christmas!

I hope you've enjoyed my Christmas Home Tour Video 2014. Here's some photos just in case you didn't see them up close. I wanted to do so much more, but time did not permit - I had so many other things going on. It usually takes months to prepare. Here, I did what I could in 2 weeks.

Looking forward to 2015!

Front Door - Entrance

This is the front entrance to our home. My Hubby put down red carpet square tiles. It added interest and made the house have a welcoming feel and look. The wreath above the door brings contrast to both trees.

Holiday Basket

This is a Summer picnic basket. Look at the versatility, you can repurpose just about anything!

The Kitchen Buffet

This is where we set up our food this year. We are fortunate enough to have options because of the space. In previous years we set up buffet tables.

Buffet Table

This table is set up between the Kitchen area and the Family room. We use the kitchen counters as a self-serve buffet area, and this space holds as much as four (4) different punches.

Family Room Buffet Area

This is also a great place to set up dish ware for self-service. I transitioned this sturdy book case, and used wrapping paper on the shelves before placing dish ware on top.

Family room View from Kitchen

The Family room is close enough to the kitchen that it seconds as a dining area as well. The Buffet table is set up between both the kitchen and family rooms.

Family Room

This room has been used mostly by our teenagers and their friends. They hook up Play Station, Xbox 360, or just watch TV. We plan to change things for next year.

Family Room

It appears that the fireplace is the focal point of interest in this room when it is lit.

The Mantle

I wish I had a close up on the mantle above the fire place . With the lights so bright, you can't see what's really there. I found these frosted sprigs, and it is randomly placed between a tangerine colored chiffon fabric.

Family Room

A small tree atop a cater cornered end table filled with tiny porcelain figurines. Another Christmas decoration.

Family Room Exit

This room leads you back into the kitchen, toward the buffet table.

Family Room Window

This is the smaller of the two sets of windows in this space. I like to hang the Christmas stockings I've made over the years in various areas of the house, including in the windows. .
