Has A Place

Hey Hey..

Sorry for the lack of posts... we are currently selling this house :(  It's bittersweet... Our house, our first house gone..

But we are planning to build the next one and that will be our forever home :)

Its very stressful but very exciting, and i'm really not looking forward to moving...

Anyway.. Im hear to show you the Christmas decor I  pondered up this year..  Its completely different from last year and I didn't purchase anything new (I have to much crap)..

Here it is:


So.. there you have it the 2012 Christmas mantle.. and the last mantle ever in this house :(.... However the mantle in the new house will be just as beautiful.

Well Hey!!

Thanks for all the awesome comments on the fall tablescape. I really love the neutral colors. Because the dining and living spaces are connected they have to mesh. So I went neutral with that too.

Lets take a look:








Have a great week. Let me know what you think!!

Hi All, hope you are having a great week so far. The weekend is almost here!!  I am super excited because we are ordering our cabinets this weekend. I have waited for this day for 3 years!

They should be coming in just in time for Valentines Day! Speaking of the great V-day I wanted to share this years mantel. I decided to go pink and elegant.

Here it is:







Have a great day!

Here it is, after looking at these pictures I sigh. This time of year is exhausting. Not only do I decorate alot but the parties, gift giving, cooking, baking and I don't even have children yet!  But I love it, I wouldn't change it, I may change my mind when I have to put it all away again.

As a first year blogger I have to say we as Americans have some talent!  It's not easy taking things and making them beautiful or making a house into a home. And I have seen many many homes and I'm happy that others feel the same way as I do walking into their front doors...

Let the tour begin...

Front Porch:

OMG, I am so excited about this reveal. It was totally on a whim that I decided to make it over. I have always looked at my fireplace and said "what the heck am I going to do with you?" and finally I woke up the other morning and decided that was the day I was going to do something. That's how I roll. Like my impromptu trip to Boston for my birthday this year.

Anyway, I have been contemplating on painting my fireplace since we moved in 3 years ago and especially since the banister makeover. So without further ado here it is:
