Christmas Home Tour 2011



Hello, Dear Ones! Aren't these Christmas parties so much fun? Well, I wanted to jump in with my home tour too. So we'll start at the front doors...which most of you have already seen.

Peek-a-boo Chloe Dawn! :) My fuzzy faced baby!


As you step inside the entry you'll see my Christmas tree.


A peep into my Christmas living room, very simple and filled will my Nativity sets. Oh, just so you'll know ~ those Christmas pillows travel around the house! :)


The Christmas sun was shining through the windows when I snapped these. I have Nativites on both these tables.


We leave the living room, cross the entry floor and now we're in my dining room, decked simply for Christmas. Well, the table has exploded a little!


Another view of the dining room.


Here is my little hutch in the breakfast room. You will notice the high chair, with no grandbaby. But this little Christmas bunny, which I made about 20 years ago, will just have to do for now. :(
Long distant grandmothering is hard.


My Christmas kitchen.

It's clean, just for you Dear Ones. :)

So many of you liked this side of the kitchen filled with snow, I thought I'd show it to you again.


I got a little more festive in the den. We spend most of our time in here ~ watching TV and blogging!
If you visit me very often, you'll notice my dog house looks a little funny. Mr. Precious decided to fill it with crystal pieces and scattered in my Staffordshire pups. Well, I've just been too busy with Christmasing to rearrange it at the moment.


Another view of the den.

Here on top of Mr. Precious' TV set is a little village. I got this little Cat's Meow Village at a blog auction last year ~ how cute.


The other side of the den. Sparkly and bright!

There you see my Crystal Bar...no drinkie poohs, just crystal pieces. But at Christmas time it's filled with a snow scene and you've seen my copy cat wreath, if not you can see it here.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful...I can't help myself...let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! :)

Oh, and I can't forget the powder room ~ angels to watch over us. Yes, ma'am! :)


Hope you've enjoyed the Christmas tour of my home. Now if you want to bring me a present, I have Santie hats waiting for you, just pick one. :)



Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia ;)

I'll leave you with a little Note Song~ have to sing this one for you because last night we were invited by our pastor and wife to attend 2nd Baptist Church in Houston's Christmas Celebration with Michael W. Smith! Former President Bush and Mrs. Barbara were there! Oh, it was wonderful! Now sing with me... :)

Emmanuel

Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Wonderful Counselor
Lord of Life, Lord of All
He is the Prince of Peace,
Mighty God, Holy One
Emmanuel, Emmanuel

Thanks for sharing all the beauty with us, I can't decide which room is my favorite but it may be the den ... or the kitchen ... or ... oh never mind.

  15. Your house looks wonderful and inviting as always, Shelia! I'll bet long-distance grandmothering IS hard--but if that baby could see what's cooking at Grandma's, I bet they'd make tracks for your house! :)

    Hope your spirits are as bright as your decorations. Everything looks wonderfully Christmasy!
