So, i can throw this all up in about 2 seconds, lol.....this is pretty much how we started a couple of years ago when we first moved in..........but now we have a christmas village, so who knows how that's supposed to fit in too! .........i figured it out last year, but it was kind of thrown together as well.....i'll show that in the next post, of what i did with it....up close it was adorable, the different elements were really cute, but like most decor, when you back up and see the room in its entirety, it can just be too much of a jumble on your eyes.......so, these photos are not my ''done photos'', just ones from previous years and the elements i am going to be working with, to YET AGAIN, try to make it all less cluttered, more cohesive, and i am finding myself, here again, first of December, without as many ''projects'' done this year to get the dining/kitchen area more organized, much less, figured out what to do with the new christmas village ......:).....love you too......all my fellow beautiful women who somehow manage to make a home at christmas full of cheer and love <3
that red runner was my great-grandmother's, she bought it in the 1920's at a church bazaar when she first got married, and she used it every christmas with her children..... my mother and grandmother remember her using it every year........ it has hand embroidered trees in white thread, with multi-colored sequins, it's quite sparkly in person, fading, but almost 100 yrs old now! still sparkles a bit, and i guess i'll take a prettier close up in a future post.....
my great-grandmother gave it to me when i was 16,
i cherish it so much.....
Sunny's So cute peaking n the door...
this is what we started with, cute buildings and a Santa train, yippeeeeeeeee............. and dami left it up to me to figure out....
