Christmas Home Tour 2014-
I didn’t go ” all in” with the Christmas decorating this year. I was fighting a losing battle with a terrible cold right after Thanksgiving. I just never quite “had my ducks in a row”. But, I thought it would be fun to share what I did manage to have the energy to decorate. Since I can’t have you all over for a cup of tea or cocoa, I hope this simple Christmas Home Tour 2014 will make you smile. Most of all I want to let you know, I love sharing the Christmas spirit with you all. I shared a peek at our Christmas tree yesterday at the hop ( you can still link up today too).
Welcome to our home
We have outside lights on the first floor only. I love the twinkling lights and the reindeer.
Oops, look the door wreath is crooked, I”l fix that…
Just a little adjustment and it’s right back where it belongs. The cute Christmas tree sign on the right of the door was my birthday gift this year (made by our grandchildren). ♥ “may your days be merry and bright”.
I added some teal touches to the Christmas tree this year.
I also tied a pretty teal heart with a ribbon and placed it in the tree top angel’s hand.
The mantel is always one of the first things I decorate. What do you decorate first?
Hmmm, which stocking is Izzy’s? giggle
The buffet had a change this year too. I usually display the European Santa collection here. This year I wanted to add the poinsettia art I created. If you missed the diy please click HERE. I might make one for the spring that looks like a big Gerber daisy:-)
I added a few Christmas touches to the kitchen. I plan to buy some little rolling pins this year ( I planned to last year, wink) to add to the kitchen Christmas tree. I think I’ll paint them with some fun colors and maybe add polka dots.
A pretty balsam hill wreath hangs in the dining room window.
This amaryllis plate is one of my favorite Christmas pieces for the kitchen. ♥
I have mentioned in the past how much I love fresh cut flowers on the dining table.
I added some fresh carnations to the reindeer centerpiece.
I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to wait until sunset and share this last photo of the tree.
As I bring this simple tour to a close I must end with the reason for the season. ♥
I am happy you stopped by for a visit. ♥ I hope you have a wonderful weekend everyone, see you on Monday for Make It Monday!

Thank you Terra, Merry Christmas xo
Lovely!!! I hope you are feeling better.
thank you, oh yes much better now. But I think my hubby may have it now. Hugs!
Oh, my. I am so in love with your Teal tree! I love the Angels where did you get them? I’m so sorry to hear that you were/are ill. I have been very ill myself. I have not been able to make the presents yet. I have been really heartbroken since we lost my father – in-law Pa Bear along with our upstairs neighbor Rod. I am praying for a better year in the coming year.. Also, could you please pray for me as I may be getting diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson Disease.
Hello Karen, thank you, I have been collecting angels for many years. I don’t remember where all of them came from. But some were purchased at a lovely store in Utah called rainbow gardens. I am truly sorry for your loss and hope the holiday season and the new year bring only good things your way. I pray you will not be diagnosed with early onset Parkinsons. I had tremors for years ( still have a head shakes now and then) I know how awful they can be. Big Hugs!
Everything looks so beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pictures with us, especially the last one reminding us Jesus is the reason for the season!
Always happy to share sweet Brenda, sending hugs your way and Merry Christmas wishes too!
Merry Christmas Katherine – your home is beautifully decorated!

**Merry Christmas Katherine**, I love the tree your grandkids made, it is darling, your not old enough for grandchildren!!! You did well with decorating, some years are like that, I have not been in the decorating mood this year, at all, so little has been done.

Oh, Katherine, your Christmas decorations are beautiful! I hope you are feeling better. Our whole family came down with a cold also. We have been out of commission over a week, so I was very late trying to get the house ready. You did a beautiful job! Merry Christmas to you and yours, dear friend.
