Come on in...step inside of this beautiful home.
We finally finished this house tonight! Oh my! Sherry and I worked on it before Thanksgiving and finished up the outside tonight. It turned out just beautiful!! I know some of you remember this house from the two years I have been posting my Christmas decorating. It belongs to a good friend of mine and she just happens to have one of the biggest and most beautiful homes I have ever been in. Each year we have added something new or changed something to make it better. This year we added new ribbon to the outside garlands, the old ribbon had just about had it! There are more pics of the outside at the end of this post.
~ Gasp~ This home takes your breath away!
I decorated the light fixture with beautiful ornaments and red beaded garland.
The mantle is stunning.
The tree is full of beautiful ornaments, poinsettias, and berry stems.
Here is a closeup of the top of the tree. It is full of beautiful ribbon and berry stems.
We redid the stairs last year and the ribbon we used is gorgeous! Click to enlarge...there are beautiful beads hanging down from the garland.
The dining room is beautiful too.
Oh my! This is my favorite pic! Look at her dogs...Emma is the tall sleek one and Bo is the cute cuddly one on the floor. Is this not the cutest pic ever?? They are Portuguese water dogs and boy do they have personality! oh...and look at the tree and mantle! lol...
We added some beautiful glittered polka dot ribbon to the tree this year. It really made it sparkle! Click to enlarge.
Aren't these Santa fairies the cutest? They are by Mark Roberts...
We added more ribbon to this mantle this year too. Look at those beautiful beads hanging down!
She has a beautiful kitchen! Love the piece with the Santa and elf! It's by Mark Roberts too.
Here is another pic of the front doors. I just love the new ribbon we added. Wow~
A closeup of the top of the arch
This is not a great pic, but we added the greenery behind the bows on the lights. 
Yes, we hung that giant wreath tonight too! What a beautiful home!!!
