So what's Christmas without a mantel? We went a little on the sparse side this Christmas, a simple ball garland with lots of sparkle!
Arthur (our artificial deer head) declares his love for Santa. And a little Amaryllis on a side table!
Last, we have our Christmas Coffee Table display. We had this old glass thing that I filled with Christmas Balls and quickly flipped over (so all the balls wouldn't fall out . . . Seriously you basically have to be a Ninja to make this work . . . lucky I AM a bit of a Ninja :p)
Our Christmas Tree,
Our Ornaments:
Our 3 wreath door, and Red Wrapping paper!
And my favorite from this year . . . Our Christmas Staircase!
And last . . . one of our Christmas card outtakes . . . at this point I had poked Lee in the head with the Christmas Ball wire and I was laughing . . . He's still posing although completely fed up with the entire situation :).
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Wishing you a cozy Christmas . . . filled with comfy Socks!
Pretty decorations!!! I love the outtake photos!! So funny!
ReplyDeleteYour home is beautiful, Ashli! The last photo is so cute! I love getting comfy socks for Christmas. :)

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas

ReplyDeleteVery cute. Love the pics of you and Lee....love the socks one...too cute!
ReplyDeleteYou two seem like so much fun. =) Love the pics!
ReplyDeleteNinja secret. Use a piece of cardboard to keep the ornaments in the glass until it is complete overturned and on the table. Gently slide cardboard out. (You don't have to publish this.)

Ugh...having trouble posting. Hope this goes through. Love all of your decor, but then again, I love everything you do! You always amaze me. Okay, those outake pics are hilarious!! Love the socks, remind me of sock monkeys. And, I agree...I use a paper plate to do the trick when filling a cloche, then just slide it out.
ReplyDeleteLove the last picture... so cute :)
ReplyDeleteI love that your home reads Christmassy without being too overwhelming. I love your style approach-small thoughtful touches go a long way! Thanks for the many inspirations.
ReplyDeleteOur tree is up, the presents have been ripped apart, kids in bed(bucket nearby), chocolate on the table, new pretty surprise handbag in view, chimney on, stomach stuffed NOW it's Christmas in Germany :-) dear Ashli, dear Lee "Hi" and dear Max "woof": A very merry Christmas to the three of you!

ReplyDeleteOur Tree came from Craigslist! We wanted a 12 foot tree but had a $200 budget, I would definitely start checking Craigslist around November!! Hope that helps a bit!
