Christmas Decorating Ideas

Here are a few things I love about my house this Holiday Season. Inspired by something I saw in a catalog, I went out in the woods, before it got really cold and drug this dead tree branches into my garage. Another warmish day I spray painted them with white paint leaving some of the wood tones to show through. I then very carefully wedged them between the two light fixtures not using anything to hold them in place...they just stayed...can't touch them. I hung a few glittered snow flakes on them. I also reduced the wattage of the light bulb to 60 giving the room a nice glow. I just love this...and no one else has one! I am enjoying it so much I may need to keep it up beyond New Years.

If I have to look at my pool all covered for the winter this is the way it should look...with nice fluffy white snow.

Another thing I love are these clear beaded snowflakes. I hang them all around the bay window area in the kitchen. They look so pretty as they catch the light. Unfortunately, they are hard to photograph to get the full effect.
