Welcome to my little Christmas tour- I decided to join in the fun and link up to Melissa's Christmas Home tour. {the link party will start at 6pm tonight}
I pretty much used things I already had- decorating the cottage was all about foraging my yard for greens, my stash of Christmas decorations from years past, 4 pieces of scrapbook paper, 2 rolls of white ribbon, garland from Home depot.....and did I mention...lots of greens from my yard.
From my yard- Magnolia, junipers, french lavender, twigs, pine-cones, acorns, and rosemary.
Well....lets get started- welcome to my home.....I made sure the house was nice and warm for you....and I won't talk much so you can just have fun looking around. Happy Day.
-The Mantel -
-The Trees-
- Dinning room-
Added a few greens and ribbon to the top of the wedding cake chandelier....because she need a little dressing for Christmas.
Dinning room and Kitchen ready for Cookie Exchange Party- click on over and have a cookie and hot chocolate with us.
Added a little greenery to the front of my desk.
Cottage Bath-
The bunting was made using two pieces of scrapbook paper, twine and a little greenery. {one pale blue and the other a die cut snowflake all from michaels.}
Our cottage was build around 1920- I love some of the original character that is still left in the home. One of my favorite things in the bathrooms are these vintage toothbrush holders/ cup and soap dish. Modern toothbrushes are way too big to fit in the space- and it's kind of scary to think of the whole family using the same cup, so I turned these cute little holders into flower vases. I adore them....and when they are not in use....they flip back around into the wall. I think every home should have a magical hidden flower vase.... Divine! =)
Thanks for stopping by- Have a wonderful Christmas- you are welcome to grab a cookie and hang around by the fire for a while if you would like- Merry Christmas-
{Pretty much all my decorations consisted of .... 2 rolls of ribbon, scrapbook paper, 2 juniper garland, cuttings from my yards and decorations from years past.}
