New Farm Table Decorated For Christmas

Hey friends! 

I think I have gotten most of my Christmas decorating done now.  Just finished the final touches on my tree this morning.

I have definitely changed things up this year going with much more natural elements.  You will see that I have used lots of my favorite blue green color, white, and silver.  I have used mercury glass,  burlap, greenery, and old black and white family photos.  Can’t wait to show you all I have done.  It’s certainly nothing fancy, but my family and I are loving it and we are sure getting in the Christmas spirit around here.

The first thing I decorated was my beautiful new farm table that my friend Mr. Buckets of Burlap built me.

This is my husband’s childhood sled so it makes it a very special part of my Christmas décor.

The great thing about my Christmas décor this year is that I really didn’t change much out.  I traded hydrangeas for greenery and added just little wintery touches here and there.  A lot of what I am using can actually be taken on into the winter months and not just used for Christmas.  I really like that part.


I will be sharing more Christmas touches soon and cannot wait to show you my tree.  This is the first year my children have “let me” have clear lights and that I have used ornaments other than our traditional Hallmark type ornaments.  Loving the new look!!


Happy middle of the week to you, my friends.  God bless you all!

I was contacted by a very nice guy named Brent. He was emailing to let me know that I had been featured in a book called: The Meghan Method: The step by step guide to decorating your home. At first I thought - Who is this guy and how did I get featured? Brent ended up sending me the book and sure enough there was my little blog name published along side other amazing blog recommendations.
Brent has decided to share the book by giving a copy to one lucky reader! I would love to see you enter!

Open House Party


I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

 Thank you for visiting this weeks Open House Party.  I look forward
to seeing what you have to share.

Today we are touring the pretty home of Kelly from the blog  Eclectically Vintage.  Kelly, her hubs and their twin daughters live in this charming 100 year old home.  Looking at the pictures before renovation the home was NOT exactly charming. There was extensive water damage, crumbling walls, cracked plaster, termites ... the list goes on and on.  They took on this huge challenge and created a beautiful home.

Enjoy the tour.....








Kelly was looking for inexpensive artwork for the dining room.
These are actually pages from a child's coloring book.

If you are a regular reader of No Minimalist then you already know
how much I love these demijohns.


The sun room is where you would normally find me.



How cute is this little chest turned into an Advent calendar.
We can't leave the tour without me showing you this wonderful s'mores
wreath that Kelly made.
Kelly, Thank you for opening up your lovely home for the Open House party. 
Kelly is a brand new blogger so I hope you will visit and welcome her into our little community.
Eclectically Vintage.







Thanks for visiting.
