She Shines at Christmas II


Hello, 
Welcome back... I was giving you a Christmas tour of our home a few days ago, (here)  but it just got too late and too many pictures. So I thought I would finish it up today.


 I really didn't do much in the living room this year... I just ran out of time. So here are a few shots of the fireplace.




Years past I had a flocked tree in here, but this year it is still in storage.



Fresh greens around the fireplace.





I like to put fresh greens over the pocket doors leading to the dining room. 
The living room looks into the family room, we use the living room mostly for sitting and reading.




The family room is the romp and television room.




It has tall ceilings, so every year we put up a 11 ft Fraser tree. We get our tree early so my husband likes a Fraser, they do not shed their needles.


They smell heavenly.




This year this bad boy came down on both my husband and me...
someone forgot to lock the tree stand. Luckily only the lights were on the tree but we both had needles in our hair :)









































This is such a sunny room during the day, I thought I would show it during the afternoon also.




Thanks so much for joining me this Christmas season. 
We will be traveling to Minnesota for Christmas.


I want to say again a big thank you to everyone that left such beautiful comments on my birthday.
I had such a great day!


My wish this year is for... that love abounds.

I am linking up with my friend Kathleen at Faded Charm for her White Wednesday party.

Blessings to you this busy week.
Rebecca

  9. Rebecca - This ALL looks gorgeous. I wouldn't be able to pick out favorites and I would want to keep this up all winter. So cozy. Do you think you can adopt me? The tree reminds me of home when we used to have a real one with real draping tinsel. Ohhhhh, love everything. Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous!!!

  12. "She" isn't the only thing that shines...her mistress does 365 days a year.
    That tree takes me back to my childhood and the memory of Mother tying it to the wall to keep it from falling over! Law...how long does it take to decorate one that huge?
    Merry Christmas my friend. May your Christmas wish come true...for all of us.
    Love,
    Debbie

  14. Everything looks lovely. Our 9-foot fir fell down this year at 1:30 a.m. It was about 3/4 decorated, so we lost some ornaments. Glad yours was not decorated yet.

  20. Rebecca,
    Well that does it. You live in my dream house! Seriously it is gorgeous beyond words, would love to see it in person one day. Fraisers are my fave too, wow 11 ft! I blew up your picture of the windows in your family room. I love the drapes, did you make them?
    I am so sorry I missed your birthday. I hope it was wonderful. You deserve only the best.
    Have a beautiful Christmas Rebecca.

  21. OMGoodness Rebecca! Your house is amazing! I love the sunroom!

    Do tell what is that reflecting in the mirror over the matel in the living room? If that a light fixture? It looks as if it is hanging from the ceiling, but I can't really tell. Can we see a photo of that please! Hahaha!

    Merry Christmas.

  36. Your home is gorgeous! Chippy and white, you just can't go wrong with that combo! I love, love, love the lower room that leads off of the family room. It looks like the perfect spot to read a book and curl up with a steaming cup of coffee. I am happily your newest follower, visting from 2805.
