Christmas 2012 ~ Living Room Tree - #1

 ~Welcome and Merry Christmas~.....please excuse the rose topiary on the left of the doorway, our huge marmaduke sized labrador mixed muttster dog loves to stand in that doorway and bark at the top of his lungs at us to ''hurry up bark bark bark, and get done with your dang bark bark bark dinner, so that i can bark bark bark have your leftovers, bark bark bark nag nag nag wag wag wag my bull-inna-china-shop tail all over mommy's pretty red rose topiary till it flings itself petal by petal onto the floor and is now leaning over like the red-rose-topiary-tower of pizza".....lol...

 I love how the tree lights reflect across the room onto the dress of the renoir poster....so sigh dreamy....always such a treat when beautiful surprises like that happen.......makes you feel like the angels do watch over us always, to help you along in life & to see the beauty and light in the world.......

I wanted pink ornaments, so my daughter and i made these one year.... we pulled out all the pastel acrylic bottles we had, mixed some colors of our own, painted, and covered them with iridescent glitter and bobbles.....fun night crafting Christmas memories.....darlin', us girls do so love to paste and create, lol....

This photo below shows the bird painting to the right of my dressing table, i can't decide if i want it on that wall, or next to the paintings going down the hallway......so for now,  it sits undecided, like so much else around here that refuses to get into it's designated place....oh sigh, always up to me, poor lil susie all tuckered out and don't wanna decorate no mo.... lol.....where's my cookies on this post!?!. ;p

 I love this view into the warm cozy wood walls of our dining room....

 I made that shabby wreath (above photo) last year.....it adds the perfect soft accent to the other romantic decor....

I love how this grouping on each side frames the doorway entrance into our dining room...and yes, one day a christmas miracle will occur and i will finish painting the living room!!! glory halleluiah when that day finally comes! lol......it's a beautiful color of behr, uhmmm coffee something or other.......opps i know, so long since i trimmed it out, i now forget the hue! plus have to start all over or it won't match!...lol........i'm slow as molasses, lololol.......so for now, just enjoy the christmas pretties <3

 hello wonderful free wreath i made from stuff i had on hand...i love you, you are scrumptious and look divine, serene and softly romantic....the perfect touch and just what i needed to help complete this room.....

Thank you for stopping by.....Merry Christmas from our Hearts to Your's.....susie <3
