Christmas House Tour.....Part 6

Happy Holidays!
And, welcome to my kitchen....the hub of the house....also known as Cookie Central.
Today the flour starts flying...and will continue throughout the rest of the week.
Since I am spending most of my time here today,
I thought I would show you how I decorated the kitchen.
I have continued the snowman theme from the living room
right through the dining room and into the kitchen.
Jacques the pig will greet you with a little chalkboard message
from his home on the island.
Just across from Jacques, Santa beckons with a plate of freshly baked scones.
A little greenery brightens up the windowsill.
A snowman quilt that I made last year hangs on the wall.
Snowflakes dangle above the island.
My little corner shelves are home to a set of adorable snowmen...playing in the snow.
The pantry door apron is gone and replaced with this vintage Snowflake Sugar sign.
Sparkling snowflake magnets dance across the front of the refrigerator.
A little greenery and a candle light has found a home in the old coffee grinder.
Oh, do stay and visit for a while....the cookies are almost done.
We could have tea and cookies and talk of Christmases past and Christmases yet to be......

Christmas House Tour.....Part 5

It seems that this year, no room was exempt from a Christmas redecorating. Here is our little powder room that lies between out laundry/mud room and our Victorian guest room. It is an unusual triangular shaped room....an odd shaped area leftover when planning our kitchen. It ended up being the perfect size for a powder room. Normally it is decorated in lavender plants and all sorts of "bee" decor. For Christmas, however, it is home to vintage Santas.

On the vanity.....
on the wall shelf.....with red mercury glass balls.....
vintage prints on the walls.....
Have you noticed how most of my pictures have a golden glow? I try not to use a flash whenever possible. Living in a log home, I realize that we are always bathed in the golden glow of Eastern White Pine.
The wood makes our home warm and cozy....such a welcoming place to be!

Christmas House Tour.....Part 4

Welcome back to our Christmas House Tour.
Today I would like to show you the living room...
home to my snowman collection.
Let's walk through the front door....
And enter into the living room...cozy, warm and inviting....
The tree is decorated and lit....
Homemade mitten ornaments...
Snowmen....
Jingle Bells.....
Snowmen.....
Cardinals, and cranberry garland....
A swag on the loft.....
And one up the stairway.....
Carols, ready to be played....
and sung by a chorus of snowmen...


Lots and lots of snowmen dress up the fireplace...
An old Doctor's bag proclaims "Snowman Collector" (that's me!)
The other side of the hearth.....that tall guy is a new addition
from my dear friend Sheryl.
A party on the mantle.....
Snowmen dancing and singing....
Snowmen building snowmen....
And some just watching.....
I love snow! I love snowmen!!! I love Christmas!!!
Can you tell???
