Hi everyone! I have lots of pictures to show you. I love hearing from all of you!! This is our dining room . The table runner is sprinkled with little fabric stars.
I've collected all kinds of ornaments over the years, some were gifts and some I bought.
Sherry found these Spode plates for me at TJ Maxx for 6.99 each!
My niche all decked out!
Here are my bookcases with some Christmas touches.
This santa in the hot air balloon is one of my favorite christmas pieces.
I sell these frames on Etsy. I'm going to be giving one away soon, look for that next week!
I found the snowmen at TJ Maxx and made this arrangement.
I decorated the tops of the presents with poinsettias, ribbon and stars. I didn't realize I liked stars so much. LOL!
I have been seeing tassels like these around town and on Etsy, so I thought I would try and make myself a few. Nancy at http://southernlady-nancy.blogspot.com/ makes beautiful handmade tassels and sells them in her Etsy store. She has a great blog, her home is beautiful, if you haven't visited her you should!
I found this cute reindeer pick at a Christmas show this past weekend and decided to put it in this plant.
Even Sassy is decorated, look at her Christmas bow!
I hope you enjoyed this long post and maybe you got a few ideas?! After Thanksgiving I'll show you my kitchen and I will also have a blog giveaway. I still have some pics of my friend's (big) home and I will be decorating my parent's house soon. Stay tuned......... Thanks so much for your visits, I'm enjoying getting to know all of you! Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving.

Oh, Kristen, as always, that is just beautiful. Your house just screams out for Christmas! I need your honest opinion on a change I made to my mantel...let me know when you get a chance! :)
~Wow~ Everytime I see different pictures of your home I like it even more. It's so stunning dressed for Christmas! I really like the way you highlighted the dishes in your buffet. That looks really amazing. LOVE your DR chandelier as well. It is fabulous! Did you get the email I sent you last night? Nothing too important just wondered. :)

Kristen, What a beautiful job you've done. I adore your style!!
I love the picture from outside!! That's a good idea!!! Your baby looks so cute. Sammie is still at the vets office. We miss him!! I wish he could be home for Thanksgiving!!!
Hugs, Terrie
Kristen, your home looks so inviting! Can't remember where you said you live in AR...was it little rock? I'm in Hot Springs.
Ohhh...I will be back many times to check out all the details. Beautiful, beautiful as always. I wish we could click on the pictures to see details better.:( Ha! I thought I was the only one who looks at my house from the outside and takes pictures! It's nice to get that prespective, isn't it?
Alll the special touches right down to the bows on the framed photos, I really love that idea! Did you make the arrangement on your dinning table? It's beautiful!!!

Kristen may you and your family have a safe and blessed Thanksgivu=ing dear friend..your home is beautiful girl..You can tell the love you have put into it..love it all !! hugs and smiles Gloria
very nice! I love your dining room set..I'm still in the debating stage if i want to get a new one. I want one that is white with chairs that have cushions. My set is about 20+ years old and the table is like new but the chairs have seen better days. Its the sentimental value I'm struggling with.
I love your decorating, I think I'm getting better but oh man I dont hold a candle to homes like yours.
I'm just drooling here!! Can't wait to see more!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!
Lynette

Hi Kristen! After stuffing myself with turkey,I was lacking the energy or commitment to start my holiday decorating but now after seeing how beautiful your home looks all decked out - I am roaring to go! I love how you put a little bit of Christmas throughout the room - in the niche and in the bookshelves. It really ties everything together. I love the dishes in the arched display cabinet (Beautiful piece!)the gorgeous tree, those lighted presents (I looovee those!) and your little Santa figurines. well, just ALL of it! Looks like a wonderful place to spend the holidays with family & friends. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving too. Be back soon. ~ Laurie
What a beautiful home all ready for Christmas~
Hi Kristen, your house looks great for christmas. Love the tree! Did you put something on top of the china? I love the tassels. I want one in blue and silver w/ a little gold. Hope you have time!! I will be back in town Sunday. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!! Sherry
Hi Kristen, Thanks for that little shout out...Your tassels look beautiful! Your home is gorgeous and I love the touches of Whimsy you have used! Hope you are having a blessed Thanksgiving! Nancy

Your house is so gorgeous! You can definitely tell a decorator lives there! I so wish I could click on the pictures to enlarge them. You can with mine, so I don't know why yours won't let me. I want to be able to see all the beautiful details!
Gorgeous and thanks for sharing with us! I love seeing all you are doing for yourself and others.
It inspires me to finish mine this week!
Hey! I found your blog through Coco. Your house looks so festive. I am in the mood to decorate now!
Hi Kristen, You've been tagged by me if you have time! :)
Kristen I can never visit your blog and comment right away, I always have to go over the pics again!
So beautiful, as I said before you motivate me to make my home as pretty as possible this year!
Hi Kristen,
I was trying to comment on your space over at RMS but it is being goofy again! I really enjoyed your pictures, your holiday decorating is gorgeous! Just wanted to say hello!
Michelle
Well, your photos of all the decorations are simply gorgeous! I have to say that sometimes I zero in on one thing in a room and I'm guilty of loving those red check/plaid draperies--love 'em!
Kristen you love stars because you are a star in my book. I love looking at all your creations; they are so special and stunning.
I do so love christmas and all the decorating to go with it. And I can wait to see what you decorate next.
Happy Holidays,
Blossom
Hi Kristen! Told you I would be back for another visit. How do you do it all? Energizer bunny you must be..after decorating all those other gorgeous homes, how do you keep going?! My house is in shambles! I have a mess in every room of the house and not one room is complete!...sigh...I have been doing this all weekend and am finally LEAVING the house! Only to go over to my Mother's and see HER Christmas decorating! Your glorious decor is only making me whimper at the state of my home..At this point, I just want to stop stepping over all the boxes, garland & lights scattered about! ha-ha! Well, just letting you know you've been double tagged - by me and I know Melissa already got you - it just means we find you FASCINATING! ;) Be back soon.~ Laurie
Everything looks so festive and beautiful. I'm going back for another look.
Gollum
I have no idea how I found you, but I'm glad I did! Your house is beautiful! I had so much fun seeing you decorate other homes, as well! Nicely done!
Hi, I'm back again to tell you my computer is soooo sick, I've got to try to get somebody to fix it...so if I'm missing in action, you'll know why...Oh, the misery!! ;-) Bo (I'm using my DH's acc't. to post this)
Your home looks fabulous and absolutely stunning in every detail Kristen! I have the same plate collection too, I love Spode :)I heard the pattern is being discontinued, so I have to get more now ;)
Happy Holidays!
Beautiful decor!
Hugs, Cynthia
Ok, where do I start. Love the reindeer pick & that tree is awesome. Especially like the close up of the ornaments. I could look at them all day. The tassels turned out well too! And your puppy is just a doll!
I have to admit I love it all but Sassy is my favorite Christmas decoration!
Oh Kristen your home looks absolutely gorgeous!!! Just perfect! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving-hope you did as well?
