DECORATING

I started my decorating this week. I like Christmas decorating because it gives me the chance to do a "Spring Cleaning" in the Fall! I also like to change up my decorations each year, by not putting them in the same place. It adds more interest, I think.

Here's a few of my change-ups. This is my Kitchen Tree. If you look carefully you'll see some vintage kitchen utensil ornaments by Midwest of Cannon Falls. I love them! The only change to it this year is the fence box it's in. I picked it up at a thrift store this summer and knew immediately what I would use it for!

The top of my china cabinet. The Peace box is new this year.

I had moved this table from one side of the living room to the other and decided to just fill it with a hodge-podge of stuff. I filled the white house with an assortment of, mostly, wood figures.

My collection of Christmas books sits on the cabinet in my half-bath this year.

I love the spine of this red and gold book!

On the windowsill of the same bath is a snowman banner that I made, and my roly-poly Santa!

  1. Can you believe I am actually visiting blogland? It's so nice to see all your decorating! I haven't got too much up yet. I been so sick and in pain, but I think I will head to the store to buy a new tree skirt. Every year I say I am going to make one, and don't end up with time. So I am goint to go see what is out there. So glad you are enjoying your Christmas decorating. I like to do the same thing and move things around. I actually don't have enough room to put everything out every year, so this year I may get out my christmas village that has been in storage for years!
    Merry Christmas!

  3. I enjoy seeing your decorations! I have a little kitchen tree and enjoy it very much. I never have a theme just my vintage ornaments and other things I love. Each year it's different but the same. I am downsizing a little this year but lots and lots of things(too many) made the cut!

  4. Darling banner hanging in the window. Cute tree in your kitchen.
    Since I recently painted the living room, I've only put up a mirror and clock on the wall. Taking my time deciding what I want on the walls.
    warmly,
