Christmas at my house

There is nothing I love more

Than cozying up the house over the winter

But especially Christmas.

With almost 4000 square feet of banging around space

Adding greens and twinkling lights

Pulls it together and makes the large spaces feel smaller and much more cozy.

While I do have 4 fireplace mantels to decorate,

I primarily stuck to only two of them.

The other two aren't in main traffic areas,

As in the man cave and our bedroom (which is still under construction)

 Dining Room Mantle

 I had so much fun setting my table.

I've got the most beautiful English china

With scenes of the English countryside on it

And I couldn't resist setting the table with it.

Since then, I've switched it up to something I like even more

But who can resist a little red at Christmas.

 Mantle in the living room

And another shot from further away.

I really love whites at Christmas too.

The way the lights twinkle against white,

Makes me think of the street lights glimmering on the snow.

So, while I like the deep reds and greens

I'm also a sucker for the coolness and comfort

of some good aged whites.
