CHRISTMAS at ' HOME '..........

Welcome everyone to a little glimpse of Christmas at ' HOME '
Come on in and make yourselves at ' HOME ' !!

This is the hall. Every year I always decorate the stairs with eucalyptus, a few baubles and, this year, a little bit of gypsophila ...............




Here's a bit of a closer look .........

.......... this is the hall table ..........

............... and now, come on into the lounge..........

This is my favourite fireplace. All of the fireplaces in our house are Art Nouveau and they are all original too.........





I must try and hide that wire. Not very attractive. These chandelier cystals have lights in them but I'm not sure if I like them lit up. I rather like them as they are. What do you think ?











This is our breakfast room. This room is next to the kitchen and breakfast room was a term used by the Victorians.



This is our dining room........





.......... and finally, a glimpse at the Christmas tree..........

I can never seem to take a decent photograph of the Christmas tree. Can anyone help me with this ? It always comes out too dark, the lights never show up and it looks much better in real life !!!!



I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their wonderful comments on my posts over the last few months and the chance to get to know so many of you.
Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and many happy times in the New Year.

DOOR DECORATION ..........

There's nothing nicer than a Christmas welcome as you approach the front door of someones home and whoever owns the above house has gone to so much trouble to make their home look so welcoming. Although I live more in the countryside, I am only just outside London and to leave this amount of beautiful things would be a bit of a temptation to some passers by and, after a drink or two at the local pub, I could imagine a few of these things being transported half way up the road or a new addition to their home !! We always have a Christmas wreath and I have two lanterns, in which are lighted candles and, so far, they have remained outside my front door, although, now I have tempted providence, they will probably disappear this year !!


I know that I called it Door Decorations but this one looks so lovely at the end of the bed doesn't it ?















This one from Martha Stewart has been used all over blogland, but I have to use it as it is so pretty.The colour of the ribbon is beautiful.



Just a selection of some lovely wreaths for the Christmas season. They are one of my favourite Christmas decorations. Some have been known to stay around all year indoors. I hope that your home will give a warm welcome to your guests and get them into the festive spirit.
