House Tour Recap

The House Tour came and went without a hitch. I'll admit it was a lot of work, but I just love decorating for Christmas so it was fun! I wasn't nervous at all, until I left the house in the hands of the lovely hosts sent by the Summerset Manor and realized it was all out of my hands. What if I didn't have enough decorations? What if people didn't like it? I let it go and enjoyed a lovely night, visiting the other homes on the tour.

It is so fun to see how other people decorate and see such creative ideas. I saw one tree, so full and beautiful, that I couldn't believe it was possibly real! Our last stop was the Lofts on 359 Water. I loved everything about it. The wooden beams, the shutters on the endless windows, the light fixtures, the hardwood and concrete floors. And, I can only imagine what the view must be in the daytime. I wonder if they will let me move in?

I am humbled by the positive comments received in the guest book and from people on the tour. I am still blushing. I know I love it, but it is nice to know that others appreciate it as well!

Here is a little sneak peak. I will post more pictures throughout the week. I tried really hard to capture everything, but really pictures never are as nice as in person:) I hope you like it!

The wreath on the front door made by my sister Julie and I (inspired by Centsational Girl). It almost didn't make it after blowing off the door during a wind storm that afternoon.

My mom rescued what she could and we put it back together at the last minute!

The fireplace mantel, topped with fresh cedar and pine. I love white feathers too and added a few feather trees. I wrapped a feather boa around an old wreath and hung it from the mirror.



There is more to come over the next few days. Come back and visit again!
