Snow and Penguins...........it's cold outside.

Last year I had the mantel in chocolate tiger ribbon and gold.  This year I changed it up with the thought of snow! The wreath is snow as well as the mantel swag.  The bows are two ribbons of silver and gold.
The theme was snow and penguins.  I added the red candles to the silver candle holders after this photo
was taken.  I will show it again with the 10ft christmas in the next posting.

Exterior Christmas Decor

Door wreaths done is silver, gold and red.  Each wreath with white lights. A 7 1/2 christmas street with all whtie lights
with matching door wreath ribbon.  Snow man is all dressed up for the festive affair. 


An extra sleigh for Santa to make sure that he doesn't run out of reindeers and presents
before he gets to my grandkids home. I have rocks in the boxes to hold the gifts
in the sleigh so the wind doesn't blow then away.





This year I added the swags to the pineapple lights.



White snow ribbon added to the urns out doors





Christmas greenery branches of two different kinds and pinecones.



Taller urn is also decorated like the two entrance urns.



It gets really windy in this entrance area; hince the gold paper tree skirt which there are
large rocks that hold the tree down. 


Happy Holidays

Face lift for Armoire's and Cabinets

Just look at what you can do with your old armoires!
The ideas are endless with ways to use them for storage or organizing.
My daughter has one in her basement that I would like to have for storage
and to use for some of these ideas.




I hope you enjoyed these picures because they sure opened my eyes on what can
be done with an armoire.  And I only thought I could store my TV and sweaters.
Ha little did I know.

It is finished!

It has been a long time coming this year to try and get the chair railing and trim done in the foyer and down the hall to the master suite. I was inspired by Rhoda over at Southern Hospitality. If you get a change please check out Rhoda's blog and her interior decorating skills.
Rhoda made it look so easy; it wasn't too bad once you had it all laid out and the spacing figured out between each frame. I haven't decide what the upper wall color will be yet.

Next project; chair railing in the dinning room and the kitchen nook. Stay tuned.






thank you for visiting.

Fall exterior decorations.....you wanted to see some closeups.

I showed a sneak peek last week on the front door. Below are some close ups of the ghost, door wreaths and more. Enjoy! I'll get on my broom and put my witches hat on and take a few lanterns and off we go................



Patio right off the garage side door. Mums planted here this week-end.

On the right side of the door the owl is in the center of the wreath. Black and orange
ribbon. (bought at hobby lobby).







Just a few pumpkins on the table outside on the covered porch. Still to decorate
more.


The decorations wound not be complete: the barn has to be decorated too.

Barn

Close up on the wreath over at the barn. I need to revamp this wreath next year.



Left side of the front entry door. This one has a crow in the center; peering out at you.





The boo ribbon is so cute with small crows on the stems of the pumpkin


Witches hat.


The ghost are on tomato stakes, Christmas lights and white sheet material.
Pattern found at Joann's Fabric.










Used the two tone hat ribbon; boo and the black and orange stripe.



My witch night light as you come in from the garage.

Tapped the pumpkins off to get ready for black spray painting.




I chose to make two large ghost and one small. My sister has one large and two small
and my daughter has one large and three small. They are popping up everywhere.




I change different colors every year on the mum colors in the flower pots.
All mums are then put in the flower beds.

Fall flower arrangement; one of my favorite flowers are large sun flowers.





Thank you for visiting. Busy week this week; doing a huge wedding.
Not much time to blog.
