The only thing I miss is the mess...

of decorating the whole house!
With the kitchen in shambles, we are kept to one end of the house, to eat, watch tv, lounge, etc. It's like trying to live in a tiny apartment. But the end is in site, the hardwood should be delivered today, the drywall guy is coming today to start, I'm buying the wall paint today and, well it's going to be a busy day. (lucky I woke up at 4am and stayed up).
If I had the whole house to decorate, this is what it would look like, kind of...I love the blue and lime green theme for the tree, so does Spike. Actually, he advises me on most colour choices...
More blue in the livingroom. I made the stockings years ago. Bryan says his looks too girly, (get over it, do you have any idea how long that took me to stitch???).
My mom got me this big cat
(reminds me of BooBoo) for a house warming gift 7 years ago when we moved here. I found the white cat (looks like Stewie) at a clearance sale. And the mouse, well he's just a random mouse.
Now, how many people do you know that collect S'mores? Not real ones, the ornament ones. I even found a bag of loose plastic marshmallows, chocolate and wafers to display like potpourri. And check out the candle wreath, S'mores!...uhuh...
Course, I have Christmas tea stuff. Donnie gave me the gold tea-for-one set for Christmas one year. Such a good shopper!
More Christmas tea stuff.
I hate, absolutely hate this buffet, but for now it's good for displaying, and I really load it up too! The tea set belonged to my Gramma.
Hope you enjoyed the tour, I'm off to the city for root canal!!!
Let the fun begin...

Love, love the blue theme. It's a beautiful blue.

I have never been through a remodel of anything, I don't know how people do it.

Ciao

Remodels are not too fun! But the end results never fail to bring joy.
Thanks for your visit. For the toffee at our home we always called sticks~ cubes:-)

I hope you do well with your root canel and you recover for the Christmas season.
Our son who got married less than a week ago (Peek at their Pictures) will graduate in May from dental school and will practice in Colorado. His oldest brother will graduate in two years, so we have have our share or root canal givers... remember take your pain meds:-)

Merry Christmas!
Beth~♥

I love your buffet, but have one I'm not crazy about either. I htink wew just get tired of looking at what we have. Other people tell me mine is lovely.

Enjoyed those cats your Mom gave you. Don't they just make you smile every time you look at them?

Blessings on your day.
