Christmas At Gails House

My friend Gail has a very large attic to be able to store a bunch of stuff. Each year she picks a different theme and this year it is vintage for her living room...

One unique thing she does, after Thanksgiving, she spray paints her real pumpkins gold and decorates them for Christmas outside...
 There are two more posts on Gail's Christmas Decor! Go check it out.

Christmas Great Room

Me ... again !! 

Who is feeling the rush of Christmas ?!  I know I am ... I have SOOO much shopping yet to do ... somehow, it all gets done.  I love this season, however, admittedly, I'm a bit relieved when it's over ... am I alone ?!

I've shared snippets of our great room, and now wanted to share the "rest of the story."

I'll keep my commentary to a minimum and just flood you with pictures instead.

So, come on in!

Christmas pillows from Pottery Barn (on sale!).  Our vintage tool box is filled with greenery, balls, pinecones and battery operated  lights ... love the soft glow:

 

"Peace" pillow from Wal-Mart (last year):

Just *had* to share our Santa mantel one.more.time.

There's our other red feather tree ... love how the glittered "JOY" sparkles in the reflection of the mirrored table: 

One last overall view ... "Seasons Greetings!"

 

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Indian Jace!

I realize that it's late to show you this but I think this little guy is the cutest thing and he is my little sweetheart! I have loved him from day 1!

I am friends with this little guy's Mother. She was saying in passing right before Thanksgiving that he needed to have a simple costume of an Indian for school.  So resourceful Terry went into action and made him this little costume in about 30

Christmas Buffet

It's me again ... just trying to catch up sharing our Christmas home! 

Some of you may remember that I painted the dark stained buffet in our great room Old White chalk paint this past Spring.  I can't tell you how much I'm still enjoying the new color, especially during the holidays ... the red accents truly pop!

The view from our foyer:

I love mixing different elements together:

Isn't this a fun red feather tree?  I bought two of them (and matching wreath) at Michael's a few years ago.  They keep making their way back into my holiday decor!

I filled my silver vase with winter florals, along with a few lit branches:

And, lastly, I hung a bit of "JOY" from the mirror ... I love seeing Santa's reflection!  He's always watching, isn't he?



I'm off to take more pics of our splashes of Christmas ... back soon!

Thanks for stopping by,

I have been searching and researching bar stools. I can't believe how hard it is to find just what I needed and wanted. Until I looked at Samsclub.com. They have a great selection of bar
