The first picture was taken in 2005 and show the stockings that we don't use any more but I had fun making. If you look carefully you can see some of the 'wrapping paper' that is actually Christmas fabric that stays in the sewing room the rest of the year, so I COULD use it if I wanted since the seams are basted and the top is either the selvage or a rolled hem. The JOY canvases we painted for Family Home Evening one night.
When we moved to this house it had an ugly dark brown beat up door. I talked my husband into paining it white but didn't like that so 2 years ago we painted it this soft green that I love. Notice the PINK walls and trim (officially called 'moose antler'). I really do live in a PINK house -but don't call it that around my boys.)
The last photo is of my light in the dining room with my kugels and silver bows.
Boomama is hosting a tour of homes but I posted my decorations over many posts. So if you want to see all I've posted look here , here . Better yet just clink on my subjects of Christmas then I don't have to figure out how to stop this underlining!

I like your banister. It reminds me of how my Mom decorated hers when we were growing up! I really need to do ours, but I don't think my hubby would like it!
Come tour my place if you like:

Love that door - what a great color! And the chandelier is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your home with the internets!
LOVED LOVED LOVED your chandelier decorations. What is a kugel? That is such a trendy idea and looks beautiful. I am so going to go do that right now...I have 20 birds that clip on and I'm going to put them on my chandelier...LOL
Merry Christmas from # 339 on BooMama's Tour Bus
thank you so much for telling me about the kugels...i don't think it's a word that people use in my area here but i've seen it written but just didn't know what it was....and i am in a group of ladies at school for 17 years now and they are very trendy and keep up with all this stuff...i looked up when i was reading your post and saw a gift under my tree---it was a very large angel kugel, a Goebel, that one of them gave me for Christmas----so, you gave me some food for thought...i have loved this tour of seeing what other women like you have done and have so enjoyed it...thanks so much for stopping by...have a wonderful christmas filled with the Presence and Power of your God
