{ Dining & Kitchen }
Well, it's almost that special time of the year!! I don't know what everyone else is doing ,but here in our household my husband & I are prepping for hosting Christmas Eve! Lots to do in a short time. I managed to squeeze in a little staging/photo time to blog for the last time probably until {next} year ;). Here are a few pictures from what our Christmas dining room will most likely look like tomorrow while hosting dinner. I've added some new crisp white linen parson chair covers & swapped the plain black leather ones . I ended up picking plain white parson covers at IKEA for a bargain $9 a piece. I was ecstatic to say the least. The solid colored ones were $40 a piece. I swapped out the rustic wood reindeer for a classic & {lush-us} real Poinsettia ,Thanks to my mother. I brought out our gorgeous holiday dishes handed down from my lovely {Gram} along with the matching silverware. I think I covered everything... Just wanted to give everyone a peak at the different decor & what our Christmas Eve dining will look like. I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas Eve dinner & Christmas Day. See you all {NEXT} year!!!
Yes, That's a real Poinsettia :)
Side Note: The red velvet reindeer is vintage. I loved him. Thanks to thrift shop finds from my Mother!
Side Note: I moved the small buffet to the other dining wall for added space & a dessert table.

I know, I'm late on getting these pictures up of our lower level! Forgive me. I'm finally just now feeling better after a cold. Our lower level is where we mostly do all our entertaining { I host Christmas} around the holidays thus why we have the large tree downstairs. We opted for a real tree this year-YAY!! We went with a 7ft Fraser Fir and I stuck with my rustic country plaid theme. I added some bright red plaid ribbon along with some red beads & all our collected ornaments. Kept it simple with a monogram "M" tree topper & a red & white classic tree skirt. My village of course is the center of attention along with a small train set circling the tree this year. White lights on the tree & garland on the fireplace top it off. I simply added some plaid candles & other Rustic ,Winter &, Christmas accessories to top off this space. Now it's time to enjoy, { The Most Wonderful Time of The Year}.

{ Living Room }
Now for the living room!!! Yes, the living room is much different in
theme & style than the kitchen & dining. That's okay right?! I
went with a sparkly chic cool blue Christmas inspiration in this area. I worked
with the cool colors that were already in the space. I must say this is
one of my favorite Christmas spaces since I started decorating. It turned out
just the way I wanted & on the {somewhat cheap}. I placed the snowflake
inspired {white} YES,white Christmas tree next to our front entryway. I just
simply added some glittered sparkled { Blue & Silver } ornaments from
Big Lots & Dollar Tree. I believe I paid under $15 for all. I added a
light -up silver bow a few years back for $10. {Side Note:} I will not
mention the store name ,because I DO NOT support the company. The
reindeer on the fireplace was purchased from Kohls's for $15. It added
some glitter & sparkle still with a hint of Christmas. The other goods
on the fireplace such as the dark blue candles & silver holders..I had
all those items. Yup, I know.. I'm a candle queen Ha Ha! The white lit garland
was purchased from Big Lots for $10 & the white crystal -like tree in
the middle was a gift from my dearest mother. She purchased it from the North @
a thrift shop. I must say it's one of my favorite pieces. The vases next to the
fireplace I had I just simply added some brown stems, pussy willows & I
bought 6 "sparkle sticks" three for each side from Michael s $17 ..a
bit expensive ,but they fit the space/theme perfect & add a touch of
Christmas magic He He.
{The presents are Faux,Just for looks}
Happy Decorating & Stay Tuned for outside festivities,lights& downstairs country Christmas Reveal!!!
