From the Lone Star State, Merry Christmas to All!!

Christmas is my favorite time of year!  I love driving around certain neighborhoods in Austin and looking at everyone's beautiful houses, their creative exterior lighting and decorations.  I especially like driving on 360 and looking at all the ornaments that people use to decorate trees on the side of the road (pictures coming soon). 

I want to share some Christmas decor w/you.  My friend Chrissie says that my home "puked" Christmas - LOL - because I have almost every single room in my home decorated.  Can you blame me?  I LOVE Chrismtas!



Dining Room



Gray is NOT always dull...

I finally had extra money - thanks for the bonus, boss! ;) - to decorate my guest room.  I bought my house in 2007 and ran out of decorating funds so the guest room has been neglected since 2007.  I am, however, extremely happy with the outcome and my wallet couldn't be happier - this room was done for under $1,000.  I used Behr Elephant Skin in eggshell finish on the walls.

[Guest Bedroom:  After]

The guest room is tiny and obviously I only have the necessities in this room.  The room measures approximately 9x10 (yes, very small!) so I have a full size bed, two bedside tables and an garden barrel which I absolutely love, love, love.
