It’s here!!
And speaking of Christmas cheer, it was about time to infuse a little into our home. As you know, I couldn’t decorate until after the Cottages and Bungalow’s shoot, so I’ve been dying to get some decorations up.
Since it’s late, we’ve decided to keep it simple this year, focusing on our tree, mantel, and a couple of simple tablescapes. There’s going to be a cookie baking party with lots of toddlers here in a couple of weeks…we don’t need too much fancy this year.
And….since I CANNOT find the screws that go to our tree, I decided it was time to decorate the entry.
Wanting to let our turquoise chest shine, I stuck to a silver, white, and aqua palette, pulling pieces from the Winter Wonderland mantle.
It all started with the mercury glass stand that my mother-in-law gave me. I could just see snow-covered pine cones piled up on it.
And I realize that colored, sparkly poinsettias can be quite wrong, but I like this one as a present topper.
🙂
Piling ornaments into a hurricane definitely adds some sparkle…and it seems like all the Christmas pulls out the sparkle in the glass hardware on the chest.
I love that the cone-shaped ornaments sit perfectly in our sconces.
I found this ornament at Walmart last week for $1….LOVE it.
That’s my bit of Christmas cheer for the day.

I can never get enough aqua/teal with the beauty of some white and silver sparkle. Christmas really does bring out the best in everything doesn't it! I ended up going the more red/green route but am of course drooling over your lovely entry way!
Absolutely beautiful entry hall! How did you get the glitter and ice look on the branches in the vases? Love it!!
