Hi! This is Jamie back after an extended Christmas break…:) Everly got this little tea set from my parents for Christmas, but the entire month of January has been a blur of sickness and snow, so we haven’t had a chance to use it yet. She is having her friends over for a tea party soon, but I thought I would set up a little tea for two the other day.
As I said this autumn, I think our town is at its most beautiful in the fall, but there is something about the first snowfall that is just so pretty, too. As with most New Englanders, I have a love-hate relationship with snow. I was eagerly awaiting it since everything was looking so barren and dreary, but by mid-January I’m going to ask my husband if we can move south of the Mason-Dixon line.
Welcome to the Deck the Halls Christmas Home Tour, hosted by Decor Gold Designs and Randi Garrett Design! We are excited to join with so many talented bloggers to bring you some Christmas inspiration throughout the house!
Today we are sharing our entryways. Welcome, readers joining us from over at Dimples and Tangles!
I love that the first thing we see when we open our front door is this piece of artwork by DeAnn.
Since this room is really more of a three seasons room, we haven’t been using it much lately, but I decided to go ahead and put some greenery and a few pops of red out here for the holidays. On a sunny day, it actually heats up pretty nicely in the afternoon, but it was NOT sunny when I took these pictures and I had to wear a hoodie, one of my husband’s hoodies over that, and gloves to take these.
We kept our Christmas decor in the back hallway pretty simple, because after all, it is a back hallway. 😉 But I didn’t want to overlook it, because I think it is a hidden gem. It’s one of my favorite features of the house. (I have many.) I can’t wait until the girls are slightly older and I can leave the door open all the time and rest assured that they won’t end up using the loop as a racetrack.
I have been so excited to decorate for Christmas, since this is our first time doing so here at Bluestone Hill. Last year, we moved the week before Christmas and all we did for decorating was set up a tiny fake tree that the girls covered in blindingly bright ornaments and our pretty, big farm stand tree which fell over not once, but twice, smashing at least half of my ornaments.
