This Christmas Around My House

So, if you know me by now, I like a variety of styles, and I'm always changing...so for Christmas this year one end of my house is decorated in whites, greens, silver and lots of candles, a 'winter woodland', the other end of the house is the vintage cozy 'Christmas of past'. (upstairs I even have a third theme going in our bedroom...winter cabin...the hubby loves it) Somehow, they all flow together...

 I put together these large snow globes using faux snow and chickadees from Micheal's, some white branches that I had from an previous arrangement, and real bird nests that I collected from the ground around my home over the seasons.

I made these stockings from an old bedspread and attached small glass picture frames stamped with the appropriate initial. I'm using mason jars filled with white sand and votives EVERYWHERE! Did I tell you that we're hosting 24 for Christmas dinner???!! It's going to be GREAT! Crazy....but great!

The fireplace is filled with creamy crocks, white baskets, greenery, a tin birdhouse and branches covered in crystals.

The old schoolhouse chalkboard in the dining room, for now, has a Christmas countdown and a quote...I'll be changing it to a menu for the dinner.

Now to the vintage side...

The graphics on this vintage poster are stunning, a great flea market find that I couldn't part with. The old Italian wine jug, and a factory order table with locker baskets below.

 Our family room. I love to collect vintage paint-by-numbers. I have a great number of summer ones too!

And that's a quick tour of my house. Hope your place is fully decorated!

Enjoy!
