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.
So many beautiful ornaments and decorations! Your Goddess Diana caught my eye, of course, plus the cushion with the snowy pine tree and rabbits!
ReplyDeleteWhy did I never think to put my nativity pieces on top of a blanket of snow! That looks so pretty! Hope you and My Hero have a wonderful Christmas and Santa brings Scruffy gets all the dog bones he can eat!
ReplyDeleteOh wow ... everything looks so elegant. And cozy at the same time! I love it all, but particularly the squirrels.
ReplyDelete...you sure are all decked out. A Merry Christmas Diana to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteYour home is beautiful, Diana. I love that darling woodland pillow and beautiful nine foot tree. And of course filled with light and angels. It's absolutely fabulous and festive. Merriest to you. (I made your PB fudge today!)
ReplyDeleteThat is your condo? It is exquisite - and your decorations as well. They are BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteElegant and whimsical! I like every inch of it! You are one talented lady! Thank you for sharing your home just shouts Christmas is here!

I love your beautiful holiday house! And I have a pillow cover with a tree similar to yours. Of course we love the same things. Enjoy the week ahead. I have a post for tomorrow and then I'm going to take a little blog break. holiday hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteYour home is so elegant and refined...truly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteVery, very beautiful, Diana. Your Christmas décor is just lovely. I know it takes tons of time to do this, but I think the beauty of Christmas décor (for the short time it is out) is always worth it.

WOW WOW WOW!!! You are such a talented decorator!! First, I have seen these little bristly animals, but never thought to use them as tree decorations!!! And that is their natural habitat as well!! That is beyond cool!! Your tree between the white chairs is a gorgeous scene! And these candles!!! They look like frosting, or snow. Where did you get them, I want to buy some?? I cannot WAIT to see the rest, ALL of it!!!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so beautiful and elegant!
ReplyDeleteYou have such lovely taste and excellent design skills.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
It's all so beautiful and festive, Diana! Sheer elegance with warmth and coziness. :) I pray that you and your sweet family have a blessed Christmas and happy new year. (And thank you so much for the beautiful card!)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful..I have done nothing inside..Got painted last week..I guess I'll get a few things out tomorrow..I do less and less each year..Nice to see yours..Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh my! This is very lovely indeed! I had no idea your "condo" was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us finally!! Loved every picture. Although I can't imagine getting rid of a closet! I can never have enough closets, but I love what you did with it. Maybe I could give up a closet for such beauty! LOL. Love it all!!!Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you for the tour! I would love one day to have my home all decked out for Christmas. We're doing a little better each and every year though, so maybe I'll share what we do have sometime this week. I have dreams, and more Christmas decorations still in the attic. Maybe I'll even pull them out as well.

Oh my goodness, Diana! Your decor is beautiful... like from a magazine! Can't wait to see the other rooms! Beautiful. xo
ReplyDeleteDonating and gifting. Great combo. I honestly didn’t notice anything wrong with the pictures! I thought they were lovely. Excited to see kitchen and folk art when you get time. Happy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks beautiful. Last year I took a bunch of Christmas decorations I no longer wanted, divided them between two gift bags and gave them to my children as "Vintage Heirlooms"
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Diana! Have you ever shown your condo? I don't think so! That nativity on the piano is gorgeous! The stockinged are beautiful too, but I think the entry is my favorite vignette. Love your Diana statue and the Marjorlein Bastin tree. Merry Christmas, Diana!
ReplyDeleteYour home is lovely and your decorations look beautiful! Everything is Merry and Bright! Have a wonderful Christmas! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful Christmas home you have there. Everything looks merry and bright! Can hardly wait to see the rest of it . Hope you are keeping warm and safe there. We have a Christmasa storm headed our way they say. Have a Merry Christmas!

ReplyDeleteMy exact thoughts. VERY MUCH CHRISTMAS!!
WE all Know the "Goddess Diana", not as well as her hubby, but she still shines!!!
Love you lady,
Sherry & jack we are smiling at 67 degrees....

Diana - what gorgeous pics of your rooms so beautifully decorated for Christmas. Love each one. I hope your Christmas is wonderful and that a great New Year is on its way for you and your family. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully festive!
ReplyDeleteso gorgeous. Love the baby grand with the nativity set. The marble table is lovely all decked out. Looks like Christmas. The Diana angel is so fun! Wishing you a Merry Christmas with love. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed following your family for years.
ReplyDeleteYour homes are so beautiful!
I love all of your Christmas decorations Diana. Your house looks so pretty and I love the white nativity set.
ReplyDeleteOh, Diana, it looks so lovely! You've done such a wonderful job decorating your home and it looks so elegant! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your home all decorated for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteOh my Diana, lovely beautiful stunning!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more . . .
Merry Christmas.
That nativity set is the most beautiful I have ever seen in my whole life! And I do love everything glass and angels are my favorite things for Christmas and you have plenty of that. Elegant and absolutely stunning
ReplyDeleteLove your style! It is what I am drawn to most and would fit perfectly in my home. Goddess Diana is the best!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, love the nativity on the piano. The marble top looks so pretty and the Angel on the floor by the table. Can't say that I blameyou for taking the crystal chandelier from home to home. Some things just can't be replaced. I have a few Marc Roberts fairies now, mine are small sized though. Love the stockings, they still look great after all tese years. I miss the days when you could go into Kmart and buy her decorating stuff.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Goddess Diana - I always knew you were special!
