I feel like I really overloaded the tree with ornaments, which is what I wanted, but it photographed looking kinda plain and empty....here are a few close-ups to prove the ornaments really are there!
Over to the mantel...It is a bit plain, I added a bunch of votives and some stuff, but then it just looked cluttered. So it is this way, this year. Next year I will try to switch it up.
Aaand, over to the kitchen-
The above tree is the kids tree that they decorated themselves.
And last for today, the dining room...
My attempt at a vignette...I like it, it has potential. I might still fuss with it, the bottom is tricky because my little ones will play break whatever is there. Again I was surprised at how much plainer things seem in a photo than in person.
OK, this has taken about 5 hours to put together with all the interruptions, going to get this up before the bus arrives and things get even more hectic. I'll try to get the other shots/rooms in another post soon. Although with my track record....I couldn't even remember my url to start this one!
