Christmas Decorating ~ In the Blue

Hi Sweet Friends!

I am making slow, but steady progress in my Christmas decorating. 

How are you all doing?

If you have seen my PINK Saturday post you know I also love pinks and

do one room in my home in those Lovely hues!

But...if I reveal my true inner self...I am a BLUE girl thru and through!

My master bath and bedroom is done in soft blues

and of course pinks! AND my studio is done in a robins egg blue!

Now, our dining room is another story all together

being that it's painted in a very ROYAL BLUE!

When we did this room over 12 years ago. I LOVE this color

then and I still do.   I knew that this color would

POP with our wonderful trims the builder put in our home.

So this year I decided to combine my pinks with my blue

in our very formal entry with blues in the dining room

and

blue/pinks in our entry.

Curls...an idea from my friend Steph of Angelic Accents!

Because I am a decorator at heart (not by training) I have tubs

full of differing colors that I radomly use each year.

I usually change things out for the most part but use staples

like...balls, beads and misc stuff in differing colors.

I uses REDs, GOLDs, Blues and Pinks in my home during Christmas.

Then, when I come up with an idea or plan..well the rest is history! lol

You can tell These pix were before I got my garland up.

Okay...here's what I did. I have a trio of graduating is sizes  primitive trees.

I knew they'd have to go UP, because of my kitties.

A couple of my naughty kitties LOVE chewing on these trees.

Beats me why, but I have to keep these things in mind as I decorate.

My garland up the stair case is another find from over 15 years ago.

I keep the 2 pieces together with their lights and beads

and then tweak it as I put it up.  This definitely is a 2 person

jobs so hubby usually helps.  But when its all done and lit up

the affect is just dreamy!

I took a few pictures from my Dining Room looking into the Foyer and Living Room.

I pulled out most of my blue tubs but think I might have more I haven't found. And I

thought I was organized, GEEEESH!!! Anyway....

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

 My only regret, I wish I could get a decent picture with the blue lights that I

put on the trees! Can't for the life of me get a decent one.

Thanks for letting me share today what i have been up to.

If you don't see me in here for a few more days,

well you will know that I am still finishing up my decorating.

So much for getting an earlier start this year!

Blessings...Lorena

PS..I also do Red and Golds..those rooms are next!!!
