Simple but colorful Christmas Decor...

I know this is from last year (in Lonny)...but I have always loved how Eileen Kathryn Boyd decorated her home for Christmas...simple but colorful!

Love how she simply hung wreaths in the window....with colorful ribbon...

Christmas decor is on my mind this week:)

Take care,

Glossy...

via House Beautiful

Thinking about adding just a touch of gloss to some of the walls or ceilings at our new home...maybe a little glossy white in the entry hall...

Jeffrey Bilhuber via Color In Design

maybe a glossy warm yellow ceiling in one of the bedrooms...

Elle Decor

...really no place for a glossy orange...just loved this!

Happy Monday!

Guest post!

Cassie was so nice to invite me to guest post today on her wonderful blog Primitive & Proper!

It really motivated me to get the dining room put together a bit as Thanksgiving is approaching...there is always more to do...but at least it is a start!

Happy weekend!
