Oh the joy of decorating for Christmas!
It is probably my favorite thing. I crank
up the Christmas music and enjoy every
minute of it. It truly is one of my
happy places during Christmas.
The fireplace is one of the main focal points
during Christmas, well I guess all of the time,
but I love decorating it.
This year I changed things up a big
by adding
lots of candles - which are all remote control
that I blinged up by gluing some diamond
ribbon around the bottom, and a touch of pink,
starting with this wonderful pink and gold set
of angel wings at the center of the mantel,
and long luscious ribbons.
Although the color doesn't show up well
in this photo, these beads are also a pale pink.
I also cut out O Holy Night on my Cricut
and put it on the face of the mantel in gold foil.
A diamond crusted fur stocking graces the hearth
and Santa's Book - where the little ones can check to see how they
are doing this year.
The tree is at the other end of the room.
It also received some pink touches this year.
It is studded with gold and silver and more of
the blush pink beaded garland, and a touch
of white boa.
This is the centerpoint of the tree.
It also is adorned with a couple of sets of wings,
one in blush pink and one in white. These are
huge compared to the one on the mantel.
Glittery deer hide in the branches of the tree.
I love the warm feel of fur and boas and they
go so well with my room decor.
A few pink trees are scattered around the room.
And a large bowl of pink ornaments change
things up a bit.
I love this perched atop my gold and fur coffee table -
which happens to be the grandkids favorite piece
in the room, and probably mine. They just can't stop
playing with it.
More fur in the tree skirt and this gorgeous
furry "basket" with pompoms.
This gorgeous gold tipped feather tree was a gift
from one of my dear friends this year. We went on
our traditional shopping trip to Salt Lake and we
all fell in love with it at Z Gallerie, so she bought
us each one as our Christmas gift!
All this fur makes you just want to cozy up,
but it works well in summer too!
I found a pair of silver sleigh lamps
last year at Home Goods. I just love this
touch of whimsy.
At the opposite end of our great room is
the video room.
On the wall hangs a print of theMadonna and
Baby Jesus by Amy Oberhansley
and underneath it is an olive wood
Nativity that my daughter and her husband
brought back from Israel this year.
With just a few touches, our great room
was transformed from last year's decor.
I really like what a touch of pink did for the room.
I hope all your decorating is finished and you
can sit back and enjoy the Christmas season.
I will be sharing this with
