Deck My Halls

Now that I've got it camera ready, here are some more images of the house decorated for Christmas. Since it's the inaugural year, I wanted to really go all out. Also is a preview of the bathroom redo below; more to come on that!

Bathroom tree! Yes, I have one in every room, including the porch.

Mango's room (corner) with a tiny tree.

Poodle tree on my dresser.

A clean room at last!

The office...

And the tiny office tree!

The Disney tree in the dining room

And the clock of course dresses up too!

Reverse of dining room.

The couch is dressed up for winter with a vintage Swiss Army Blanket and wintery stag pillows.

And our beautiful tree from The Rocks Christmas Tree Farm in Bethlehem, NH! Merry Christmas to all and to all good decor!

Gingerbread Villa

Here's an idea: why don't we make a gingerbread house? Here's a BETTER idea: why don't we make the house LOOK LIKE MY HOUSE? This, in theory, was a great plan. In actuality it was quite the nest of thorns.

Here's the goal, this past spring.

Here's the gingerbread version!

Here are the dogs...

Here are the gumdrop versions!

Here's the real pink tree on the porch.

Aerial view of the gingerbread house, pool and all.

The R flag hangs outside the REAL house...

And outside the gingerbread house!

Here's the backyard in gingerbread and frosting...

And here's the backyard in reality.

All in all it was a fun project. Not easy, but fun. Next year we're considering doing the castle in the Magic Kingdom... a girl can dream, can't she?
