My Faux Fireplace and Christmas Tree Take 2: Christmas 2011 in Photos

Merry (Late) Christmas to you all! I hope you all had a very blessed holiday . . . I thought I’d take a few minutes and post the final pics of my interior Christmas Decor.  A few of you who read my yucky Christmas tree post, were curious to know if we ended up getting a new one, yes we did, the kids just weren’t having Christmas without one, and this time decorating the tree was much more involved and appreciated 😉

Here are some pics of my Christmas Decor and as you’ll see, I ended up moving the location of our faux fireplace and our new tree-I’m just sick spontaneous like that. I like it much more like this, it’s much more cozy . . . well without further ado, here’s my Christmas Decor 2011 in pics . . .

 A lil’ Christmas in the kitchen . . . as you can see I never finished adding the trim to the bead board back-splash, that will be on my to-do list for 2012.

Big black and blue got a lil’ Christmas-a-fied!

 

I added this beautiful antique window to the mantel.   I found it on the side of the road with a twin, I haven’t found a spot for the other one yet.

 I also slapped some foil doilies to the wall to flank the window-I just felt like it needed something to balance it.

 I added some greenery from my front yard to an artificial wreath to add some bulk.

Happy Holidays!

    Andem1, The fabric was purchased from Joanns and I believe it was an outdoor fabric. I'll look into it tomorrow to see if i can find the name for you. Thanks so much for visiting and for taking the time to comment!
