Elegant Christmas


 My Romantic Prairie Home is getting all dressed up for Christmas. I am loving how elegant it all looks.
The weather here in North Texas has been fabulous. If you look closely you will see roses on the bushes. We have snow flurries
predicted for next week. 
I will believe it when I see it...but this is Texas!

 I have gone with all of my "greenery" a champagne color.

 My mercury glass ornaments and twigs were Pottery Barn inspired.

 This sweet cement angel is protecting the front porch.

 Come on in for a visit in the parlor...

 The fireplace is all decked out.

 A cozy couple sits by the fire.

We like to pretend we are musical at our house. 
The truth is we love music, but don't ask any of us to entertain you!

I am not one to decorate with the typical Victorian decorations...

Instead of one big tree in the house I chose to have several smaller 
ones throughout. This one is of course a champagne color!

Neutral and Natural Christmas


Christmas decorating has started at my  Romantic Prairie Home.
Colorado Nancy came over last week to help me get started. 
She was the best elf I have ever had. 

I have chosen a very neutral and natural palette this season.




I make sure every year to add at least one touch of whimsy. Something unexpected. 
These light bulbs just looked like Christmas trees to me...
More pics to come as I decorate!

Ready, Set, Go

Christmas decorating and gift shopping time is really here.
Lists to make...
Cakes to cook...
Trees to trim...
Halls to deck...
Bells to  jingle...
Yuletide logs to light...
May your Holidays be Merry & Bright!

Last week I took a couple of days off and went to visit family and friends in West Texas. My first stop was at my talented friend Roxanne's home for the Society for the Preservation of Quaint Old Homes December meeting. SPQOH for short.

Mercury glass and a vintage glass glitter banner-a great combo!
(I think Brandy made the banner and she has an etsy store...)

Love it.

I was feeling the coordinating goin' on.

Roxanne hand painted the walls, made the mosaic framed mirrors and created that awesome tomato cage Christmas tree. You go girl!

Who knew a simple crab apple tree branch could look so awesome?

Roxanne sent us all home with pine tree cuttings for us to plant.

She taught us you could also plant these pine cones to sprout a tree.
I think they are just cute like this.
Roxanne has more photos on her blog.

I hope you all have a Quaint Christmas too!!
