CHRISTMAS CREATIONS AT HOME..A SMALL HOLIDAY HOME TOUR

Remember the anticipation you felt as a child

of waking up on Christmas morning and rushing into the living room

to see what Santa brought to you and left under the tree...

oh to be a child again at Christmas...keep that joyous feeling in your heart!

Savor your days with the comforts of home.

There are days that I like being my age.

I am enjoying putting away the fall decor

and rummaging through all the Christmas decorations

to create our holiday home without rushing to get it all done.

This is simply the beginning of creating cozy corners

which still need a bit of tweaking.

So today, I invite you to take a peek inside

and enjoy a little home tour.

This little vignette is by our big bay window

so the lighting is always a bit tricky...

It's fun to see what little things you can add to a corner

to achieve the look of whimsy.....

Peppermint sticks are fabulous as stirrers for Hot COCOA.....

I purchased this darling little Santa last year

from the Valarie Par Hill line...isn't he too cute!!!

Santa in his warm fleece robe and fuzzy slippers

enjoying his cup of hot chocolate.....

I came across this darling little tin on Amazon which I knew

I wanted to use to hold a little Christmas pine......

This little vignette is a work in progress....
I am really drawn to vintage looks this year!

I decorated the kitchen island in a black and white theme..
these sweet little houses were from the Target dollar spot last year...
and they light up in the evenings!

It's fun to dress the Kitchen Aid for the holidays...
a few tea towels and a sweet little ornament added a perfect
and festive touch!

I plan on filling these with Christmas candy...the
grandchildren love these tins which I purchased
from the Container Store a few years ago.

I have had this spoon rest Santa for many years
and just love him on display!

I just love this snowman candle....
he is just happy hanging out on the Magnolia cake stand!!

The mantel is completed and I will say,
this was so much fun to design...

The theme is called Winter Blush

inspired by the Opalhouse Holiday Collection from Target and Pier One.

The Foyer

The theme I chose was Woodland Plaid!

Christmas Music and Baking Day while decorating.......

Morning coffee with warm freshly baked
Cranberry Bread......



Mae Mobley's Christmas tree.....

A peaceful December evening.....

Napping to Pandora Christmas......

This weekend we will put the tree up, decorate,

bake cookies and play our traditional Christmas music....

then it's on to the formal dining room and living room....

hope you are enjoying your December days......

Cheers Y'all.....
