I started decorating for Christmas! I've draped the banister with faux pine and added some clear lights, green and white poinsettias, red berries and green velvet trimmed ribbon.
I use the same pine garland every year but try to change what I add to it. I think this year's is my favorite yet.
The flowers, berries and ribbon were all on sale at Michaels, 50% off!
We'll be getting our Christmas tree this weekend! I love decorating the tree!
Oh, this is just beautiful, Cindy...it's all so exciting, this season of the year. Don't we all just LOVE it!!?!!!!

What a beautiful stairway... Missed you over the Holiday weekend. I am having sorority tonight at Mom's, and we did Thanksgiving late, so I'm decorating a bit late... what else is new... Anyway, have a fun time with the decorations. I love the white pointsettias on the handrail... yum-0!
ReplyDeleteOh Cindy, how beautiful! God, I love Michael's, don't you? Your banister looks wonderful, and how beautiful do all your mirrors look?! Can't wait to see your tree!

Oh, so pretty! I can see you are off to an ambitious start. Wish I could say the same about me. :( After months of having my house torn up from all this redecorating, I'm dreading moving stuff around again to accommodate Christmas decorations. I really need to get with the program!
ReplyDeleteSomewhat hesitantly, I posted a few of my "spaces" on Rate My Space. People are being much kinder than I expected. LOL. The "after" photo of the wall unit is getting rave reviews, especially the pink backs! Thank you again so much!!!!
Cindy how lovely! Your home really is romantic! You just inspired me to get out my christmas trinkets..:)Thanks!

So very pretty. Can't wait to see the tree. The sale at Michael's.... I hit the store twice this weekend :>) I took a couple days off work to decorate. Really got into the spirit while having the TV on HGTV. My husband says I need to stop watching all the Christmas decorating shows now.
ReplyDeleteSooo very pretty. The green and white flowers really set off the blue and white in a fresh way. Great work!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteHope you had a blessed Thanksgiving! The staircase looks beautiful! Looking forward to seeing your tree.

Cindy, your banister is a dream. I love the mirrors on the wall too. Dianntha
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful.... the white flowers really work well with your mirror wall....you really can work magic..... everyday ordinary things become
ReplyDeleteex-ordinary in you hands..
I just love visiting your blog. Your home is beautiful. I so look forward to seeing your tree. Thanks!~Rosemary
ReplyDeleteThe white with the green ribbon is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI bought some beautiful red velvet poinsettias at Big Lots for $5, and some gold ribbon that I am going to use on my banister.
Since I don't have a live tree, I'm going to get fresh cuttings from Home Depot to decorate my banister. Last year, the guys that trim the trees, let me have all the cuttings I wanted. They were beautiful!

It is really lovely Cindy! Your home is always so pretty but I am betting that when it puts on it's holiday dress it just GLOWS!
ReplyDeleteHave fun decorating!
Hugs,
Sue
A tantalizing taste of what's to come when you decorate the Christmas tree. Can't wait!

This is the only thing I miss about having a one-story home is not being able to decorate the bannister of the stairway. :-( But then, I'm planning to have two trees this year, so that's kind of cool.
ReplyDelete~Angela :-)
This is beautiful! I wish I had a banister to decorate too when I see how lovely they can be. Can't wait to see your other areas and especially your tree.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifully decorated staircase. Great pictures.
