Design or Dining......

Our design studio has taken over numerous spaces and at holiday time our  family needed space to gather over food, so....simple solution seemed to be to take back a little space.   I added Command Hooks by 3M to the top of the shelving units and hung our show curtains. 

 

Gives the room an artsy flair, but there were still a couple of places that needed a touch of holiday color.  Easy fix was to use some of our booth decor and couple of collectibles. 

Finished off the decorating with the burlap table runner from our fall decorating and a centerpiece in one of our metal display baskets...usually holds surface design supplies, for discharging fabric.

 Thank you for stopping by our home during this holiday season.   Enjoy a wonderful season and best wishes for a fantastic New Year.

Now it's time to be creative.  Keep checking in to see what we are working on.  I have begged for 10 more days of relaxation, hohoho...before returning to dyeing more fibers.

Where We Gather......



Oops!  I meant to blog yesterday, but somehow found myself making Christmas cards which turned out pretty well if I do say so myself.  Now I just have to get them in the mail.

The family room is the room we spend the most time in, it gets the most attention when I decorate each year.  The fireplace wall, with the hearth and bookcases has always been the perfect spot for my Santa collection which somehow grows each year no matter how hard I try not to add to it. This year I actually decorated the whole wall and then decided to make a change, so dear hubby took down the eagle for me.  I really like it with the mirror.



The tree is in the same spot as last year, but I changed up the look of it by adding the beaded wire garland that was part of the shop decorations when we were in the brick & mortar in Sandy Springs.  It just sparkles.

Here are some close-ups of the ornaments.  Remember I said I love handmade things. Enjoy!

I also love vintage...began collecting as a teenager and haven't stopped yet.

 

 Here are a couple of close-ups of the mantle and hearth...love the results.

Please come back for a quick peak at what happens to our design studio during the holidays......

Simple Kitchen.....

This is harder than you think, simple is not a word frequently used in my holiday decorating vocabulary.  Over the last decade I have thinned down my collections by offering up childhood decorations to my children, going from four trees to one large one and giving away some things, like trees.  Last year we put two trees plus lights on Craig’s List, hoping to give them a new home.  A couple who had just moved to Atlanta was thrilled; they thought there would be no tree for them.  We all felt good about that. 

                                                                

My decorating “plan” was to use what was out and around, to just add some seasonal color to it or fresh greenery.   In the corner below some of you may recognize the birdcage wall hanging and ruler star from our booth in Houston and West Palm Beach, now you know where they can be found on a daily basis.  I just added a few vintage holiday postcards to the birdcage.  Then I opened the vintage green picnic tin added some pine cones, Granny Smith apples and a well used little tree.  The snowman is a hand painted slate roof tile I found locally.  Everything else can be found in that location on a daily basis.

Then I turned to my vintage green kitchen glass ware and a scale that sat in the basement. It was easy to put a few unused ornaments into the jar making it festive. I added a few pieces of greenery, pine cones and my Grandmothers “old” wax fruit to the scale, a few old fashioned candy cane chunks in the green glass add the finishing spark.

Next I turned my attention to the eating area, setting the table in holiday dishes is all it took to make it festive. At Sunday brunch this week my grandson did want to know why “that” was sitting in the center of the table….he was told that it was one of grandma’s frou-frou’s…humph! I thought it was a cute, simple centerpiece.

Guess this grandma’s frou-frou would explain the last two things I put up. I don't think two snowmen is too many considering the size of my snowman collection.  Love the hand painted canvas snowman, always meant to try some holiday painting on canvas, but it seems I always run out of time.  Then I hung the garden angel snow-woman on the door to the porch which just seemed appropriate for her. 

Hope you come back to see more of my “simpler” Christmas decorating…..

Welcome To Our House....

Once the door was decorated it seemed an easy plan to decorate the entry….well not so fast.  As always from year to year I did not want things done just the same way.  When will I understand that makes it more difficult?  So…..I took the hat boxes off the top of the bookcase and replaced them with the bird houses and cardinal from the porch.  Now, I was on a roll.  The greenery was a quick addition, this year all fresh because I had a plan for the all the garland in the box.

                                                          

 With that done I could move on to the stairway….don’t tell, but I wanted this house just so I could decorate the 2 story foyer at Christmas.  Artificial garland has always been the base I’ve used; next I wrap it with lights.  STOP….first attempt....both strands dead…burned out.  My dear hubby volunteered to get more clear mini lights, wrong....seven stores, no lights.  He called me to say he had one more thought….bingo, he had found them…shelves full (remember this, it’s important).  Once in hand I put them up, well sort of…halfway down the home stretch the longer length burned out.  You can imagine what I said.  The next morning he went out and exchanged it, once again I put them up.  They were beautiful, I could proceed, but first I needed to process some online orders.  Next thing we knew there came quite a howl from our puppy that had gone down to the first floor.  As we raced to see what was the matter…..I noticed something  amiss…the lights were burned out.  Guess who had chewed through the wires and received a bit of electric shock therapy. Yup!  This time I bought 2 boxes!  She looks innocent enough, right?

 It took me 2 ½ days to do the stairs….maybe next year they will get a bow on the newel post.  By this time I went for simple…fresh greens, a paper ribbon, pine cones and cotton bolls.

I absolutely adore handmade things…imagine that, so many of our decorations are items made by various artists I have admired or know.

                                                                
 The Nativity scenes range from vintage to newer.  In the bottom right is one that my sister in-law sent home from Israel one year.  There are many more pieces but I just don't have room for all the pieces, not even the sheep.

Come back soon to see where the elf goes next…I really needed him this year.
