Holiday Tour: Christmas 2009

Hello and Welcome to The Holiday Tour 2009! Thanks for stopping by!

This is my first virtual home tour for Christmas and I don't know what to expect {or what you expect} but...I am all decorated and I basically started taking pictures and creating mosaics {or this would be REALLY long} and I'm going for it! Welcome and I hope you stay a while!
First of all, the kitchen:

I like it Vintage...

I like it Retro...

...a little whimsy....and a whole lotta CANDY!

This is the really festive part of the house, full of fanciful color and cheerful merriment, candy canes and gumdrops, and you can't forget the ginger bread man!







BUT WAIT! I also like this look....still vintage in flavor, yet with a bit o' chalet thrown in the mix....and who doesn't like hounds tooth? I mean really...


If you would like to view this entire tablescape, click on "Hounds Tooth Holiday" on my sidebar or click here.















Now let's go into the living room, it's a little more muted in there....



Cool silver of mercury glass...



Soothing textures of burlap


Elements of nature....
Add in some touches of crisp white and bold black...



Soft brown...
...Amber and gold...
Warm candleglow...
