Christmas Window in our Window

I've fallen quite a bit behind in my posts for the Holiday season. The unexpected trip back home and having my daughter here from NY were priorities. 

Now, I can get on with sharing the decor that I actually started on Nov. 1st!

Our bay window all decked out for Christmas in the kitchen.

 I love creating a window in a window display as I have done for seasons before.

Our little personalized stockings, that I made last year, accent the eight paned display.

They hung from our mantel for Christmas  last year.

 

The bay window's ledge is doubling as a sideboard for plates, flatware and napkins.

I added the grain sack stripes to the napkins for our Christmas tablescape last year, too.

 These plates were a score, last summer, from the Salvation Army. They're vintage plates by 
Everyday Gibson.
I'll be using them for our tablescape for "just two" for our Christmas dinner and I'll be sharing it after we enjoy our very special time together.

I brought our outside lantern in.

A fluffy white owl is displayed on a vintage wooden hanger that I shared in an earlier post.

 I love this penguin sitting in my Pfaltzgraff bowl.
 
T. Bear, my beloved, antique, german teddy is driving a Christmas delivery truck.

 I think it's worth another look...

 or maybe two.

And here's everything in full view.

Wishing you all a very Happy Holiday and New Year!

 Love, Hugs and Kisses,

JP

and Gucci, too!

New Fall Window Dressing & Fresh Wall Color

  I really liked our fall window dressing that we've had since early September, but I was getting tired of looking at it for so long.
 It was time for a new look.

And since I never tire of using ladders in room decor I decided to remove the one from over our mantel and use it here. I'm glad to have my blog to have pics to reflect back on and see  the many ways I've staged them. You can use my search bar to see them if you wish!

This time it's an herb drying/display rack and handy place to keep necessities for trimming and watering.

Rustic, chippy ladder love!

A keepsake magnet tugs at my heart.

The rusty, vintage scale stayed with a little change and hangs off to the right this time around.

I  changed the valances from the Battenburg ones and hung country, striped kitchen towels over the rod for more of a countrified look.

This is the new wall color. My honey and I painted it in 2 1/2 hours this weekend!

The old yellow paint was here when we moved in. I'm glad that we finally changed it!

It's much more subtle and photographs well.

I chose a color that co-ordinated with the color of the tile's grout.

This was a little project that I made last year.....you can find it here.


In a few more weeks this will be filled with Christmas decor....I'm dreaming up it's theme right now!

Hope you'll be watching for the new window-do.....I'm just not one that will make the changes until after Thanksgiving has passed!

 Love, Hugs and Kisses,
