A Quiet Corner

In this corner of our house, there's a lot of peace and quiet.  This little room doesn't receive much action, it's kind of small and not really much going on in there.  But it's a great little room for snuggling in to the big comfy chair to read a good book or to nod off on a weekend afternoon nap.  Of course, if someone's on the piano it's not too quiet, but it's still a comfortable room that wraps you up and makes you feel all warm inside.

 

Decorating the Tree, Step by Step

I'd like to share a description of how I went about decorating the Christmas tree in our foyer.

Minty Oreo Cookie Pops

I made a quick and easy treat today, with thanks to campclem.com, where I first saw this idea.

Tuesday, Unwrapped

So here's the thing about Christmas these days.

Christmas in our Living Room

I'd like to share some more photos of our living room.  I had a lot of fun putting this room together.  We began on the day after Thanksgiving, purchasing the tree from the local farmer's market.

Christmas Home Tour 2013

Welcome to our home!  We moved into this home on Labor Day Weekend, just three months ago, and since then, we've been working on making it feel like "home."   To me, nothing helps do that more than decorating for Christmas, so I'm glad that the season is happening so soon after we moved in.

In this post, I plan to show some general overview shots of our home, and then in the next week or so, I'll follow this up with some more detailed views of things.  Come on in!

Welcome to Our New Home

Welcome to our new home!  We moved this summer, from Maryland to North Carolina.  Our new home is a bit smaller than our last one, as we now have no kids living at home full time anymore.  This Christmas season, I've had the fun task of figuring out how to decorate the new home for the holidays using all my old stuff.  We certainly have enough decorations to completely deck the halls here, with only minimal new purchases.

I know it's been a while since I've entered anything new into this blog, and I guess I don't really know where it will go from here, but for the moment, I'm excited to share some things in this space. Hope those of you who happen to find me here enjoy your stay!

For this first post, I'd like to share some photos of the front of the house and our foyer.
