Touches of Christmas...

Here are a few glimpses of Christmas at September Acres.


The Tree. 


The wreath by the front door.


The stockings hung just inside of the front door.  Not our 'Santa' stockings, just something fun.



A bit of our new Christmas Village.  LM has been asking for one for a couple of years.  We spotted this 'starter' set at Lowes for $79 so I caved!  I am enjoying it and can't wait to see what additions I can find at the after Christmas sales!



Our coffee table and the Christmas card 'bucket'.


A side table in the living room.  My mom gave me the print in the frame.  I have no idea where it came from so if it's yours or you know who created it please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due.  It's cute though, isn't it?


Everyday dining room table.  You can see my formal one here.  I love the blue with the red.  Love.



The Christmas tree in LM's room.  She picked out a pink one at Hobby Lobby but I gently steered her toward the green.  I think it is the cutest tree ever!


Cute advent calendar I made last year; also in LM's room, right next to the tree.  The little guy next to the calendar is 'Snow Bear'.  Does anyone remember him from Thalhimers in Richmond?  Way back in the day.  He has been coming out every year at Christmas since 1986.  Wow!

Hope you've enjoyed this glimpse into our home this season.  Head over to Melissa's for some more home tours.


Don't miss out on the home tour at Hooked on Houses either.  I'll be there!

So inspiring! Now is the time to start thinking about next Christmas...I 'stole' one of your pics (the bucket on the cake stand) for my 2012 inspiration board :O)

The card bucket is a genius idea!

My Favorite Things....

Image
Join Melissa @ 320 Sycamore for her My Favorite Things party. Here are my favorite things: David Cook. The CD. Still lovin' it. Listen to it a lot. It's good. Very good. Philosophy Lip Gloss. I have the melon daiquiri flavor and love it. It's shiny AND stays on. Tastes good, too. About $12. Electric Pepper Mill. How did I live without this? Really. You can find one like this at Crate & Barrel for about $40 or so. Peets Coffee . I talk about Starbucks a lot because we don't have a Peets here. It's really the best in my opinion. Luckily you can find it in the grocery store for about $14/lb -or less when it's on sale. You know that's when I buy it! :) Measuring cups. I have these from Williams-Sonoma. I love them. I think it's my favorite thing in my kitchen. At least one of them. And one I use almost daily. It took a while for me to break down and buy them but I have to admit that it's the best $30 I have ever spent. When Little Miss moves us...

Monday, Monday...

Monday's are usually my favorite days. Everyone is back to work and school and I have the morning to gather my thoughts and eat a leisurely breakfast before starting my day. My friend, E, who I carpool with has her husband take the kids to school since he is off on Mondays. Today, however, has been a bit odd. We had a new dishwasher delivered this morning and my husband uninstalled the old one last night. This morning I wake up to a leak in one of the dishwasher hoses - thankfully just a slow leak but still an inconvenience. My husband had to come home and semi-install the new dishwasher to stop the leak. I have been washing the dishes in the wet bar sink instead of the kitchen sink since something is turned off there and the hubby said not to use it until the new dishwasher is totally installed. I am thankful to have a wet bar sink and not have to resort to washing the dishes in the bathroom - something I am sure we've all had to do at one time. I have some things in t...

Changes...

I posted some photos of my living room a while back. I realized how blah and boring it looks. I appreciate the suggestions I was given. One of them was 'paint'. We had the walls painted a couple years ago so I really didn't want to do it again just yet so I had to figure what else I could do to get some color in there. I thought about painting a canvas red to match the chair ( below). After talking to my sister she suggested dipping cool whip containers in paint to make the circles and an idea was born. I bought the 3 canvases (20" X 20") at Michaels at 50% off - the three cost $21. I got a quart of paint at Lowe's ($12 - Martha Stewart's Cranberry something or the other). The blue paint was a sample size of Olympic that someone didn't buy -$1. Cool whip container and little round container I had in the kitchen - free. Fleur de lis printed off computer, traced on canvas and painted - free. So for $34 I got this new look. Very David Bro...
