. . . iced in, so might as well decorate!

With this icy weather, it was a very good excuse to

break out the eggnog, put on Christmas

music, and start the holiday

decorating (better

than cleaning,

right?!).

Just worked on the enclosed front porch today. With the snow outside,

it made sense to bring the outdoor colors in . . . shades of white,

galvanized gray, pale gold, tarnished silver,

and muted, earthy browns grouped

in simple vignettes.

Taxidermy is always part of our seasonal decor,

and I just love this little, white goose

in front of the iron wreath

on the baker's rack.

This chippy, white Victorian door is just leaning

against the wall with a metal wreath

chock-full of holiday symbols.

The angel santos mimics

the rustic door

perfectly!

I don't now recall how many shows we displayed this gorgeous white

cabinet in . . . but I'm thrilled it didn't sell!! It's the

perfect backdrop to this artfully simple

grouping--but the dress form is

"dolled-up" just a bit!

. . . one room done well ahead of schedule.

Just LOVE "snow days" when

there's an excuse to do

what I want!!!

Hope you are staying warm and safe!!
