The sun finally came out today, which allowed my sweet baby girl to take some long overdue pictures of our Christmas decor to share with all of you.
I will let the pictures do the talking since there are so many, and I want you to make it to the end.
Welcome to our home...
someone is always eager to greet our guests!
The foyer.
Monogrammed wreaths adorn the french doors leading into the office.
The powder room.
The library.
Our Christmas village a top our piano.
A simple vignette in my favorite dough bowl.
A sweet message on a pillow and hubby's childhood rocker.
A simply vignette. Our favorite Christmas book, Let's Keep Christmas a sermon by Peter Marshall.
It's all about plaid this year!
A few more of our favorite books. Highly recommend Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree. A sweet gift from a friend who always admires our monster size tree!
We decided to hang our cards from some jute twine this year. So many have beautiful backs as well as fronts, this allows us to see both!
Our vintage white tree adorned with Shiny Brite ornaments passed down to me by my sweet 98 year old MIL.
The dining room.
The kitchen, the heart of our home!
Our family room, complete with Mr. Willowby's Christmas tree...all 12 feet of her!
My favorite vignette, my Willow Tree nativity gifted to me by my sweet hubby a few years ago.
A beautiful hand written verse from 1 Corinthians a sweet friend gifted me last year as we studied the book in Bible study together.
and yes, the pups are spoiled in the house...all "5" of them!!! Thinking it might be "6"next year as baby girl has her heart set on a Golden Retriever puppy to train as a therapy dog.
The fireplace and mantle, always a favorite. It's all about what's in those stockings come Christmas morning in our house!!
You'll find ice skates here and there...our girls put in many hours at the rink back in the day, before school and after school. Each scuff represents a lot of hours and things learned (sometimes the hard way ;-)
Love this pillow I found at Home Goods this year.
And because she is the "princess"...we'll leave you with this sweet one.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, may God bless each of you and your sweet families this holiday season and in the New Year!
I am grateful for each and everyone of you and your friendship.
With love and gratitude,
Lauren

ReplyDeleteLauren your home looks amazing!! I can't believe how stately and elegant your exterior is, and I love those skates and the story of your girls at the rink all those years. Does your daughter take your photos? That is so sweet. Merry Christmas sweet friend!
