    Christmas 2011 House Tour

    BY: Jane PUBLISHED: 18 Dec, '11 UPDATED: 7 Jul, '18 32 Comments

    Wreath and front porch tree 0211We're almost ready for Christmas at the Crossroads. Today Leo and I lighted the last Advent candle at church today, and when you get to that last candle, you know Christmas is near. The house has been decorated and the gifts have been wrapped. The only thing left to do is lots of cooking and baking. I thought I'd share some pictures of the cottage today, some that you may have already seen and also some new ones.

      Love the simplest details that add an old fashion Christmas charm to your home. So much prettier then all the flashy decorations. If you do not mind I am going to use some of your ideas.

      Just took a tour around the blog a little and wanted to comment on your Christmas home. It's so welcoming, and I also loved the two furry ones under the tree!

      Your home is just beautifully decorated for the holidays! I love how you put lush greenery under your tv above your mantel. That looks so good. I also love your pretty green and red ornament balls massed together in bowls and jars. Everything looks so well put together. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas in your cozy home!

      Loved the tour! The kitties look so cute under the tree! You know they're going to sit there because there are birds on the tree!! LOL... Love the tree with the family pictures- that's really a cute way to display them!! Did you put the words on that plate? Love it! Your mantel looks really great- I like how you got the silver wreath below the tv...and the silver in the candlesticks above- good balance!!
      Have yourself a very Merry Christmas!!

      Everything looks just lovely, and so cheery. My favorite is the dough bowl filled with ornaments. I would love to have a dough bowl, but they are so expensive.
