Still sprucing (the kitchen!)



Christmas is creeping up so it's crunch time to make sure all of the shopping is done and the house it tidy before the boys are out of school for winter break (starting Friday...eeek!). I'm currently adding a little Christmas cheer to the kitchen. Just a few touches here and there. Hopefully I can post my Christmas house tour tonight. We'll see.... Tomorrow may be better as far as quality photos are concerned!


How much do you have to do?

CHRISTMAS TABLE

Hi guys! Today I wanted to drop in and show you my table decorated for Christmas. I couldn’t get a really good picture ( I never can), so you are really going to have to trust me when I say it looks pretty good!

Remember when I told you I had a chandelier to hang that I found at Goodwill? There it is (more on that later!)

My most favorite thing on this table has to be my bread board! I ordered it from Diana over at Our Vintage Home Love. I can’t wait to place my muffins on top of it for Christmas breakfast.

Well, that’s about it for now. I need to finish doing some cleaning around the house and start on my powder room “secret” project.



I hope you like the table. If you think its not all that, I would love to have you over for dinner to change your mind. We’re having pot roast tonightSmile



Catch you later!

I CHEATED AND I WON!

Well hello out there! How’s Tuesday morning treating you? I hope its better than Monday morning because we all know that Monday morning is the worse with it being the start of the week and allWinking smile

Last night, I wrangled in the big Christmas tree from the garage.  Well lets back up, I guess if my husband brought it in and I stood there and watched with a I DON’T WANT THIS TREE IN MY HOUSE look on my face, I really didn’t do much huh? Anyway that’s not the point. The point is I didn’t want the tree in because:

a) it’s too big for my living room.

b) I have to rearrange the entire space to make it fit.

c) it’s too big for my living room.

After he brought it in, I stood there and looked at the box for a while (wishing and hoping it would suddenly decrease in size) and then began to just go with it and put it together.

With artificial trees, there are like 3 or 4 parts that you must put together to build the tree.  Well…… Here is where I cheated. Instead of using all of the pieces that came with the tree, I left out a section. Cheating? Yes. Winning? ABSOFREAKINLUTELY!

My living room still had to be rearranged to accommodate the tree, but at least I don’t have to use a step ladder to decorate the tree.  Oh and use all of those ornaments…

(the tree is kinda fat at the bottom, but whatever!)

I thought it was so cool to have a huge tree, but this year I would have preferred this

No worries.  I have a mini tree (2 to be exact!)

So there you have it, I cheated and won! Now I just have to finish decorating the tree and put the room back together!
