Call it insecurity, call it insanity, call it what you will, but after seeing all of the beautiful decorations in blogland I decided to sprinkle a little more Christmas love around my home. And I did it without spending a dime. Just went shopping in my storage closet and here's what I came up with.
I do this every year. I do a little bit of decorating. Then I go on the local House Tour, come home, and do a little bit more.
I think I'm done for now.
At least inside. There's always more I could do outside!
Oh and before I go I just wanted to get your opinion on the wallscape I just created in my living room. It's not Christmasy, but I thought I'd throw it in for good measure.
I don't think it translates very well in this photo - looks better in person. Gimme your thoughts.
Thanks!

Hey Kim!
I like your Christmas decorations. I do the same thing! See something in a magazine or on a home tour and then come home and do more decorating. I like the wreaths on all the windows. Very neat.
As for the wall, I think it looks good. It feels balanced and pleasing to the eye. I go with my initial feeling when I see a display or grouping and this one feels "right".
Have a great day!

~WOW!!!! ~Gorgeous job Kim! :)
LOVE your amazing Christmas decor'! The wreaths looks so pretty and so does your sideboard!
Kim~~~
I love the additions to your decorating. I feel the way you do about home tours with seeing blogger's decorations. I love how you filled a simple bowl with greenery. I forget to use my everyday things.
Anyway. your house looks lovely inside and out. Love the wreaths on all the windows...so classic. And the sled and skates are too.
The wallscape looks really nice. All the gold ties everything in and it all goes well with your formal couch. Great job!
Happy holidays!! :-)

Thanks so much for coming by my blog today.....and I confess that we only got a tree yesterday. It stands in the living room waiting for me to feel up to decorating it, I guess. I love all your Christmas decorations......and I do mine a little bit at a time, too. I've decided I won't get the banister garland up this year, I guess. Now I'll have to figure out where to hang the stockings!!!
Take care and have a Merry Christmas!

Kim, everything looks so pretty! So many great ideas! I am envious of your front porch!!

Everything is so pretty! I really slacked on my decorating this year. Love that front porch.
Your house is beautiful! I love all of the wreaths in the windows. It looks so elegant.

OM goodness, I need to get into your 'storage closet'. Your decorating is just magnificent. A beautiful festive home! A-M xx
Oh Kim-
Your home looks like a Christmas magazine.
I love the topiaries. Did you make those yourself?
Have you been out and about 'finding' treasures lately?
Laura
Everything looks so pretty at your home -- I usually keep tweeking too -- but this year I told myself that whatever didn't get done by the first of December - didn't get done! I did very little outside and I still left boxes untouched in the attic... I guess they'll get used next year.
Kim, Thanks for stopping by for a visit. I love that you added more Ho Ho Ho around the house & spent NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Money! Good girl! It all looks great! Your wallscape looks good. It's fun to mess around with things like that isn't it? Merry Christmas! Charlene
So many beautiful touches. I especially love your centerpiece. Ooh, and the skates hanging from the sled. Perfection.
I wish you a blessed and Merry christmas, Kim.

Everything looks beautiful Kim! My favorite is the buffet...and the sled with those skates!
A Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
Big Hugs,

Kim, girl were you hiding all that great stuff in your storage? So glad you pulled it out...your home is so festive and I love all the wonderful vignettes. The candle centerpiece with the berries is sooooo pretty! And I love the sled with the ice skates...great minds think alike. :-) I really like your wall scape...everything is so well balanced, yet not matchy, matchy. I think it's perfect! Thanks for the tour of your beautiful home! Merry Christmas!
Susan
Hey you! I love the wreaths on the windows! So pretty! Your touches here and there throughout your home are perfect. The fruit centerpiece is really beautiful! I love the use of fruits. As for your living room wall...just beautiful! Elegant and works well with the coffee table. Merry Christmas and stay warm!! Hugs!
Hi Kim, Awwww...thanks for your sweet comments!! I will try to keep things interesting after the holidays(I hope). I appreciate all of your visits!! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! We had about 4 inchces of snow for the first time in about 34 years! It was amazing! The roads were slick, but everyone got to come over later so we had a great day. I hope you have a Happy New Year! Kristen
Your home looks so beautiful. I noticed you aren't following me any more. I don't know if it's a Google thing or what I hope you come back over and follow again.

You have a beautiful home. thanks for stopping by and I hope you had a chance to spend some time with family and friends this holiday season.

Kim,
I thought the same thing a few posts back when you were headed to the Jersey shore! I need to get out a map, but my sister in law lives in Mullica Hill & we have family in Cherry Hill. Most of Tony's family is from Center City Philly. We live beside the sweetest place on earth, Hershey! I will look at a map and see how close we are! Wouldn't that be fun to get together!
Small World!
