This year I felt in the mood for a touch of the quintessential Christmas color, red. I reused most of my already existing Christmas decorations but added in some new pieces. I have to add that I bought that wool tartan blanket at a thrift store for less than $4! It’s like new too!

Dada drew the most lovely mural depicting the true meaning of Christmas…
We made the Village of houses again this year as our advent calendar.
For the mantel in the sunroom, I picked a few branches from a tree in our backyard and placed them in a vase. I also cut some strands off some variegated vinca that I have planted in pots and used them as garland.

lots of bling add lots of sparkle
The cards are sentimental. Last Christmas the hubby(who was away) sent us about 6 cards. Even Ginger(our dog) received a card! I placed them there as a reminder of just how grateful we are to have him home this Christmas.
Zion and Ian chose this tree from a local farm and decorated it themselves. They also helped me to make those garlands(one on the bed and around Moose’s neck) from pipe cleaners. So much fun!

Our fancy tree! I added in some pink and animal print ornaments this year. I might have gone overboard with the pink. There is more to show, but that would be too many pics. If I am not able to pop back in before Christmas, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Love and Blessings. xx
Hi Stacey!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful & warm Christmas feel in your Home. I admire all your effort & work! Lovely to hear you have your hubby Home for Christmas this Year!
Wishing you a happy, happy Holiday!
Stacey, I LOVE YOUR HOME. I hear ya about being so busy - I too wanted to take photos of my home but during the week that is impossible with work. Coming home when it's dark puts the kabosh on that idea! But this is finals week and for the next two weeks, I am OFF!
ReplyDeleteYour husband is just so talented. The boys much love what he creates for them, and that you even have a magic board as such in your home is terrific.
I hope everyone is well, and I wish you BLISS with all the family!!! Anita
Your home looks so beautiful and festive, darling! Merry Christmas to you and the fam!

ReplyDeleteYour home just exudes warmth and joy!!!! I love that bright red front door. And, then the mural in your boys' playroom is just fantastic. Love that they decorated their own "kid" tree. By all accounts, you really are living the spirit of the season.
Happiest holidays!

Good evening, BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to come home on this cold night after my last day of instruction to see your comment. May you enjoy the most magical Christmas with your man and little men, Stacey! The precious days we have with each other just seem to be more important as I get older, and the older I get, the younger I feel thanks to the unfolding LOVE that never stops. BIG HUGS TO YOU! Anita
Your home is so inviting, Stacey! I love your holiday decorating and particularly how it is really a family affair. Merry Christmas and I wish you and yours all the best in 2015!

Love your holiday home, Stacey! The mural your husband drew is amazing. The tree for your boys is so sweet. I love that they helped you make the garland it and decorate it themselves. Hope you guys have a very merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYour home is absolutely beautiful! I love that the boys got their own tree and decorated it themselves. And your husband is such a talented artist! Merry Christmas to you and your family! xoxo
ReplyDeleteAnd oh, may I ask what color the front door is? I've been looking for a perfect Orange-y red color (persimmon red/orange?) for my front door, and your door is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love everything about your home.
