The mantle

In my house the mantle gets decorated first.
Then everything else comes together.

And basically I am just using Virginia's tumblr to decorate for the holidays!

She posted this a few weeks ago...

{here is the link where that mantle
and so many more can be found}

And that led me to this...

Lee would prefer everything to be decorated in blue.

So I let him be in charge of decorating his office & the laundry room.

It's a red & green & gold Christmas in the rest of the house!
:)
Merry Christmas!
