Christmas House Tour 2013 - part 1

Merry,Merry All! We are thawing out from Icemageddon 2013 and I am finally going to post pictures of our home dressed in her holiday finery. Looking at all of the blogs out there, I feel a little inadequate at times, as I don't change my decor each year and don't tell my children, but I don't even pull out all of my decorations anymore. I like to call it "mixing it up", that way things seem new after a break of a year or two! I hope that I can be an encouragement to someone. It is okay to scale down on the decor and do less and concentrate on the true meaning of the season. You and your family will all be better for it! I would also like to add that my decorations would not have been possible without the help of my amazing elf - Mr. Pearl! He never complains about bringing down countless boxes from the attic, even if I only use one item in the box!

I can't make a post and not put in a few ICE pics! Growing-up in Texas, these are few and far between!

Don't ask me why Sport had his fake gun out. It was too precious not to show!

Ok, where is Sweet Pea you ask? Apparently it isn't cool to be photographed by your mom in the ice when you are in 7th grade, so, no pics of the princess. And that's all I have to say about that!

Stay warm my friends!

Eclectic Fun

This eclectic, quirky and warm home belongs to some friends. They are moving on to a new space and I have no doubt it will be wonderful and fun and I cannot wait to see it. This home has something to look at in every corner and is such an extension of the fun family that resides within. Enjoy the tour!

Home Tour -Kathy's Colorful Traditional

My sweet friend Kathy and her family have one of my favorite homes. They live in our old neighborhood. It is historic and full of trees and the homes have lots of character, as do the people! We miss it, although we are not far away. Kathy and her husband make a great remodeling team and have worked hard to achieve perfection in their home, and now, they have put in on the market. They are on to a new project! Their loss will be someone else's gain. The home is fabulous.

The entry is actually a strie salmon pink and is lovely.

The dining room window overlooks her fabulous front garden and you can barely spy the Butler's pantry to the left.

Kathy and I share a love of pink and green - the living room color scheme

The kitchen - blue glass subway tiles, Carrera marble - perfection!

The family room was the latest addition. What you cannot see is the perfectly worn Chesterfield leather sofa and wonderful deck that sits outside.

Happy Wednesday!
