Welcome to our home! I thought I would share a few little corners of it. It isn't finished, it isn't perfect, but isn't the same true of us? If we waited until we were perfect to share our heart, or until our homes were "finished" to share them...we'd be a lonely bunch. So come on in, glad you're here!
This, right here, is what sold us on this property. Peace, quiet, the unrush. We woke up to a beautiful frost this morning - the cold certainly didn't bother the ducks, they were already out swimming.
Just can't beat the beauty of a sunrise or sunset.
Our littles are big now and don't have to worry about choking hazards, so I like to add jingle bells to our nativity to fill in the spaces. A lot of these are from my mother's vast collection of craft supplies.
The wrapping isn't finished, and nothing has bows yet, but the tree is up and finished.
I've been collecting ornaments my whole life. Every year I think about doing a theme, but just can't resist these old friends. We have a mix of handmade, like this angel my grandmother crocheted and ones the kids have made, and keepsakes. I love glass ornaments, they just have such charm.
Since our colors are red, olive and tan, decorating for Christmas doesn't take too much! Add a throw pillow or two and a tray and the living room looks pretty Christmas-y.
Our fireplace is literally broken, the insides will have to be completely replaced, so this year, no real fire for us. It seemed such a dark sad spot, so we warmed it up with candles and greenery.
This is a busy spot. Lots of tea and coffee drinking year round, so we keep a drink caddy going all year. We change it up a little seasonally, adding spiced tea, cocoa & mocha packets, ginger tea cookies, biscotti, marshmallows and Santa mugs for Christmas.
I can't tell you how many kids have tried to peel the foil on those faux chocolate Santas in the windowsill, ha. Some of the mugs are vintage, others we use are from Target.
A spot to sit rings while washing dishes.
Our bedroom, flannel sheets are so cozy.
That's it for now, come back again!
And remember, it doesn't have to be perfect to be welcoming!
