Took a snap of the house at night. I didn't know if it would turn out, but it's not bad. I am going to take a few more when it warms up a bit.
This is the only clean part of the family room. I have a new wreath and one new Santa. I am sadly lacking in shelves in this house, so I decided to put the Santas on the mantel this year.
A tiny corner of the kitchen. Again, the only clean spot!
This is the guest bath - not too exciting, but I couldn't figure out how to delete this shot. There aren't even any Christmas decorations.
More guest bath.
This is a shot of a small portion of my soap collection. My family makes fun of me because I do have a little thing for soap. If I knew how to make a mosaic I would take picture of my whole collection!! Luckily I don't have a clue on mosaics.
This is our guest room. Last year I left the gold icicles off the tree, and this year the beads are gone. I wonder if next year the ornaments will still be here? It seems like a waste, as we don't have any guests to enjoy it, but the bay window it sits in faces the street and the tree looks pretty from the street. As it is a prelit tree and now has very few decorations, it is really very easy to put up.
Above the guest bed is a lovely piece my aunt stitched. I have always loved it. The Christmas tree pillow on the bed was part of a felt tree skirt my grandpa made a long time ago! My mother cut the skirt up and made a pillow for me and one for each of my daughters. It is one of my favorite things.

Tomorrow is the St. Nicholas Tea Party and Elizabeth and Benjamin are spending the night. Once I recover I will post some pictures of all of the fun. And it will be so much fun!

Beautiful as always, mom. I liked the pictures of the house with the lights - it looks kind of cool like that!
Your house is so pretty at Christmas. I love your soap collection in the bath. I wish I could find that same collection. Your mantle looks adorable and I love how you put just the grandkids stockings on the mantle. Neat idea.
If I see any more of that soap I will get you some.
What a beautiful home! I found your site via Nester's Christmas Tour. I started looking around and came across your guest room. I'm just curious about the bed. We recently bought a 4 poster bed like yours, but our mattress and box spring make it too high. Do you have both or just a mattress? I'd love if you'd share so I can start figuring out what to do with ours. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Michelle ~ I tried to email you, but I couldn' t find your address, so I hope you will check back. Your comment went into my spam folder ~ but to answer your question, we have a mattress and box spring and I think the drop for the bedskirt is about 21". I do have a little stool for my "shorter" guests:-) I had my bedskirt custom made.
Thanks for stopping by.
