Candlelight Christmas Tour

Humor me... I needed to work on my night time photography skills. It would be even better if I cold get off the automatic setting. Working on that. Slowly. S.L.O.W.L.Y. All the same, I thought a night time tour might be kind of fun. But Ill warn you, despite photoshop editing and all, a couple just didnt come out that great. I just couldnt get the color right. Im learning though!

So lets start at the front porch...

Perhaps you remember I wanted to paint my door red last year? One down, three to go. Yes, there are actually two doors and one set of French doors on our front porch. one is the main entry.


I spiffed up the pots with some greenery and balls and added one of the kids sleds and a sign I picked up this year. I had know idea that the phrase would have such deep meaning for Christmas 2012... seems like we can not get away from the obvious fact that we all need some "comfort" as well as "joy" this year. So thankful we can find that in our Savior!




Next is the entry hall. I didnt get the stair rail decorated this year (cant do it all). But I did get a couple of red pillows on the antique German bench to match the red checked lamp shade. Thats about it in here. I hope to add something else before a church College party on Friday night.


On to the main room.... looking back from the entry...

I keep seeing that old galvanized pail... EMPTY. Needs some greenery! But Im LOVING the elk antlers. Why didnt I use them years ago?




And around to the French Doors going to the back patio...


and on around to the the tree!


We opted for a cut tree this year... a noble fir. The stand is in a large galvanized wash tub, which really makes keeping it watered a breeze! Before the party, I might add some burlap inside.


And finally around to the mud room, pantry, and kitchen.


Perhaps Ill take some pictures of the kitchen and post those soon. But tomorrow, I hope to show you the master bedroom. (For more details on the main room, you can read my earlier post here.) Well see how far I can get through the house before Christmas arrives.



Hope youre enjoying some cozy days making sweet memories with your families in your own home this year. There will only be one Christmas 2012.
