A BIT OF CHRISTMAS AT THE CONDO

 Bear with me here.

These pictures are straight from my

phone and I did not have time to 

edit them all.

If I had more time I would make

these all beautiful..but..

what you see is what you get here.

I sorted/purged Christmas items

this year. Gifting some to family

and donating what no one wanted.

I did NOT dig all my Spode Christmas

dishes out this year.

I have service for 20 plus

all the serving pieces.

I used all my old traditional

REDS & GREENS 

on the main level this year.

So---here we go.

As you step into the front door

this used to be a closet to the right

in the hall.

We didn't need the extra closet

so I had them open it into a niche.

Below the marble top is a

drink fridge and storage cabinets 

and drawers.

The little tree is full of

Marjolein Bastin Hallmark ornaments,

sweet sentiments from another blogger,

plus a couple of sweet squirrels

that DON'T rob my bird feeders.

As you can see,

my statue of the Goddess Diana

has her angel wings on for the season.

As you walk down the hall it opens into the living room.

There is a marble topped table dressed for Christmas.

Straight behind this table towards the back wall

is a baby grand piano

topped with a nativity and more angels.

Behind the grand piano is a ficus tree

that sports fairy lights and a different

Mark Roberts fairy-depending on the season.

The grands have always loved this.

Above the piano is my beautiful

crystal chandelier that has graced

four homes now-as we moved and 

took it with us.

The living room also has

our main Christmas tree

and a fireplace

with a TV above it

(don't ask...Not a fan of TVs over mantels)

The rocks/geodes by the fireplace

are gifts from my youngest son many years ago.

Our ceilings are very high in the living room.

The tree here is 9' tall.

The stockings are 

Martha Stewart and at least 15 years old.

Not sure why the rug shows so bright-

it is a very pale (almost whitewashed looking

when you see it in person).

I have lots more but 

no time today to post more.

I will post pictures of the kitchen

and dining room in the next day or so.

Plus I will share some of my old

folk art paintings that I did years ago.

Have a wonderful week

and don't get your 

Tinsel In A Tangle!
