Christmas About The House

Christmas decorating ideas using the color turquoise.

Tie Christmas cards with colorful ribbons from a garland draped on a staircase.

Display wrapped gifts out in the open on a bench where they become part of the Christmas decor.

I hung an antique ornament from the chandelier in my dining room. It is really old and the top is broken. I love the shape – perfect drop to hang by itself so I used a dot of hot glue to attach the cap so I could hang it.

If you look closely – you can see the wire I used attach the glued on cap to the bottom crystal on the chandelier.

I just started working on the table setting – will have more to show you in a few days.

The tree is not completely decorated yet – waiting for Kelly and Mandy to get home – they like to help decorate it. I did put on a few base ornaments and used the leftover pom-pom yarn that I used to make snowflakes window treatments last year, as garland.

If you follow me on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook, then you may have already seen Nutley. We don’t have an Elf on a Shelf in my house – but a mouse about the house.

He gets moved all around. I bought him at a local retirement community craft fair. An elderly gentleman made him. We usually put him in places where a certain cat named Trax won’t get him.

I use traditional Christmas colors outside.

Now that the decorating is done – I can concentrate on wrapping. Once that is completed – time to sit back and enjoy the season. Thanks for coming along on my Christmas house tour. Still want more? Tour all of my Christmas project ideas.
