Oh There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays...

I love decorating our home for Christmas, so today I thought I'd give you a little tour of our home by sharing a few pics of our holiday decorations. The first decorations you'll spot are on our front porch and front door:

As you enter the foyer, you'll spot a little Santa collection on the side table. The snowman and bushel basket are a couple of my Affair of the Heart finds, which decorate a corner in the foyer:

Right off of the foyer on the right is Mike's "man room", so I decorated a little spot in there with a fun antique sled and old ice skates that I purchased at Affair of the Heart. The camo/hunter snowman was a gift from my friend Stacey...isn't he adorable?

 Although this isn't a Christmas decoration, it's the newest addition to "man room"...the mount of the buck that Mike harvested last year.  (I'm thinking that maybe I should have hung some ornaments or something from the antlers just to be festive...bahaha!!...just kiddin'!!)

Since we spend so much time in the kitchen, I always like to add a few decorations around the top of my kitchen cabinets:

Here's our little dining area...

Here is a close-up of the vases I filled with ornaments to create a centerpiece for the table:

On Pinterest I saw a dining room light that had been decorated for the holidays, so I decided to use some ribbons and ornaments that I had on hand to add a little pizazz to our light:

Remember back in November when I went to Affair of the Heart with my friends Jamie and Joy? Well, one of the uber-cool finds that I brought home was this old wash tub with a snowman painted on it:

Well, here's why I bought it...to put our Christmas tree in! We downsized this year to a 6 1/2 foot skinny tree, and I knew that I wanted to find something unique to display it in. I think the washtub fits the bill nicely, don't you?

Here's a close-up shot of the coffee table with the cute Santa and sled that I also purchased at Affair of the Heart in November:

Last, but not least, here's my little nativity set which decorates the top of our piano. My mom gave me the piano earlier this year, and I would love to take lessons in the near future.

Thanks for dropping by today! Be sure to check back this week for a quick gift tutorial that I know you'll want to make for all of the gals on your Christmas list!

Have a wonderful week, friends!
