Christmas Open House


















Welcome to my Christmas Open House!

My front hall is all silvery, glass and glittery. Antique ornaments are my favorite.


























The carolers are singing on the mantel.














The ornaments on this little tree are only 3/4-1" high.
















These are my huge mercury glass ornaments. The biggest one is 8" in diameter.





.





My tree with most ornaments that are decades old and crystals from a chandelier from a previous house.










I like to put a little Christmas in the bathroom too.
My diningroom chandelier that I found in the attic when I bought the house.

Diningroom chairs are dressed for the occasion.













Kitchen hutch.











Kitchen table with Paperwhites that keep drooping over at night because they are about spent but still smell devine.

























Family room hutch.























































Little seating area with Christmas pillows.









Old outdoor kitchen hutch that I use as a library.

















Thanks for stopping by. Merry Christmas one and all!

Love your decorations! Christmas came and went too fast didn't it? I found your blog through your daughter (jenjen). I'm not sure how she found me. I'd love to see more of your house but I'm trying to get an agenda done for work...so I'm off and running.
