Christmas Vignettes

Today I am sharing one of my Christmas groupings. I'm linking to Southern Hospitality for the Holiday Home tour. 

I started out with an old chair that didn't have a seat.  I put a couple of green bushes on it and added a couple of red poinsettia bushes. Normally, I would have used Christmas garland but I already had this greenery on it from my fall decorations and just decided to leave it and add poinsettias.

The snowman pair I purchased in Branson, MO last winter. Don't you just love the glitter?

Isn't this the cutest wreath. It is made of wire. I received from one of my students about seven years ago. Each year I hang it in a different spot. This spot was calling it this year. I added the red bow to give it a Christmas look. That reminds me when I first go it, I let it out year long. I think I'll take the red bow off after Christmas and keep it out again this year.

It really is easy to take something that most would consider junk and turn it into a great Christmas display.

This is the first time I have participated in "Making the World Cuter". If you dropped by from that great blog, "Thank You" and it will make my day if you leave a comment to let me know your dropped by. If you did not drop in from that blog, I hope you take a few minutes to visit it and check out the linky party.

Take Care and God Bless.

Tour of Guest Bedroom

Our guest bedroom is really quite simple at this time. It will be the next room in our home to vamp up. Right now it has a small flowered wall paper. We will be painting. 

Here is the sleigh bed we purchase just a few weeks ago from Furniture Factory Outlet. I think we got a great deal and it looks wonderful with the new wood laminate floor we installed a few weeks ago.

This antique dresser came from Mr. Paramedic's maternal grandmother. We plan to refinish it when the weather warms up.  Somehow we lost the mirror off of it when we moved 5 years ago. I hope to find a replacement in the next few months.  Then we can refinish both pieces at one time. The display on the dresser is pulled together from items I've had for years.

This cedar chest belonged to another grandmother from Mr. Paramedics side of the family. I found this beautiful table runner last month in Branson, Mo.

As you can probably tell by looking at earlier posts, I love collecting Santas and Snowmen. I purchased these two snowman at a store in Branson also. When I brought them in the house, I decided they would fit perfectly in this room, especially with the red quilt on the bed. I hope guests will feel at home sitting here in front of the windows catching up on their spiritual readings. The wing chairs are from husband's grandma.

I made this little tabletop quilt last winter after Christmas. I then put it up and didn't realize that it went so well with the Christmas quilt I also made last winter until I got it out last month. In fact, I didn't realize it until I started photographing the quilts for an earlier post.


I would love to hear from anyone with a suggestion of a wall color. The master bedroom next to it is an olive green (not sure of the exact color name). The living room walls are a nutmeg and the kitchen walls are red.


Take care and God Bless.
