Christmas Home Tour

Christmas holiday Tour At Cottage Wishes

This is our first Christmas in this house. It is good to be home and see our favorite items. 

I made this sign on an old barn wood board. 

The Farris wheel is loaded for the holidays with my parents 50's ornaments 

Our master bedroom dressed up. The banner is reversable. 

The reason for the season!

Moving toward the kitchen

My tin collection and Santa's fit perfectly. Next year I want some greenery to brighten the area. 

I love the smell of the tree and fresh herbs. This is a time for family to gather, my son in law's sister made this sweet sign last year.  I love little one and claim him as one of my grandsons.

Cooking station, usually husbands station!!  But I can cook too.

Our coffee station

The gathering room:  the living room, kitchen and dining room are all within sight.

The dining room with a fragrant air plant in a 1890's tea pot

Moving towards the front door, I put up the kids stockings.

My cottage furniture suits the season perfectly and I put a crazy quilt that is unfinished on top to make it all Christmasy

 

The other quest room and my craft room

I wish you all many blessing this Christmas, Di

Decorating

I am getting ready for the holidays in my our new house.  Decorating has been fun, our decorations are all out.  I am reimaging our spaces with our furniture.
I had the walls painted with Designer white by Benjamin Moore.  I have a mix of black and white.
It would be fun to punch it up with a bit of color.
I choose a chair by a cool accent chair from Chairish. They have a mix of great furniture and accessories.

This was the footprint of our room when we moved in. Lots of light. 

It is a small space to throw in all my furniture. You can downsize the house but this girl has a hard time downsizing her stuff. 

I finally found a space for my love seat. 

Right now I have my moms clock in this area. She collected clocks since her dad was a jeweler and clock repair man. 

This is the other end of the room

I created a style board to introduce some bright colors for the holidays. It is a great idea to have a special piece to work off   I choose a beautiful colorful chair to reflect my style. Cherish is a great web site to buy, sell or dream of great items for your home, https://www.chairish.com/ 

Then add some accessories to pop the color out of the chair. Since I normally love white and blue, adding that red accent makes me happy. 

 play along and visit  Chairish and see what you dream up. Di

Christmas snipets

This little tree lights up my smile

These sweet boys are excited for Christmas.  They have been helping me make crafts and decorate for the holidays.

                                       My favorite tree in the house is this sweet tinsel tree!

                                                     The focus of the season, baby Jesus

                                                  The sweet smell of lavender on my side board

                                                           Pictures of Christmas gone by

                                                           And of course my favorite Santas

                                                   I have to place him several places to find that right spot

                        I got this one from Banner Elk, NC and delight in seeing him every year

                                I show this perfume bottle every year because it is my absolute favorite item from my Nana Lucy.  My Pops gave this to her many holidays ago.  I love the details of Mary and the nativity scene.

                                                         Peace to All

                                                           A little cheer from my lake racing boat

                                                       Crafts we made this year!!

                                            I've made so many stockings

                      May you have many moments of joy with your family and loved ones.
