Romance for Christmas





 
 
Our little nest away from the worries of life...at least for a minute.
 
 
 
When I walk down the stairs, I feel overly blessed to have this space for my sweetie and I.  I have had so much fun doing it a little different in here compared to last year.  Too much furniture was really the culprit...
 
 
 
As I sat and gathered ideas, I had originally had this garland on the armoire...but it was just way too much.  So my little lightbulb went off!  The hubby loves it....and so do I!
 
 
 
 
Originally I bought a white tree years ago and have always put it here at the bottom of the stairs.  But I just didn't have the heart to move any furnitutre out and store for the holidays.  So my little trees got a makeover in whites, blues and silvers.
 
 
 
And I couldn't be happier!  The white tree turned out beautifully upstairs in a bedroom...so that will be another post.  Keep tuned, believe me there is a lot more to see.
 
 
 
Years ago, the sweetie and I made this fireplace for the wall mount gas stove.  I sure do wish there was an outlet here, I'd have it all lit up!
 
 
 
I still have fun decorating it though...and I love how the mirror reflects the light in this dark corner.
 
 
 
 
A few months ago, we moved this armoire from upstairs to down here.  I couldn't be any happier...and it just fits perfectly!
 
 
 
I found this little light up house at Home Goods...but can you believe I couldn't find the perfect spot for it anywhere?  Until now....
 
 
 
So there you have it...our little romantic get away for Christmas.

  4. Very pretty, Melanie! I love the garland woven through your headboard. I need to figure out a way to do something on my headboard. Just brought our Christmas stuff down from the attic last night, so I'll be starting my decorating today. The little tree for our bedroom is getting a makeover this year, too. I can't wait to redo it!

  13. Your house is so lovely. I would love to try some of the things you've done--maybe one of these days when I've decluttered. My husband was born and lived in Oak Hill, WV until we were married. His mom still lives there and we visit when we can.
