Decorating Continued...

Greens winding up the staircase. Hopefully stockings will be up soon!

Slowly but surely things are getting put up around the house for Christmas - and yes, I know it's only the beginning of December. Since our plans for getting the tree were delayed we decided to go get one this weekend, and while I impatiently wait for the tree, I'll keep putting more house decorations up.  As you can see, I changed the dining room table a little bit from this post by switching to a different cake stand and adding some branches. These are all small touches but sometimes those make the biggest difference. I'm thinking about wrapping the front door tomorrow or Friday (pictures will be posted via Twitter & Instagram) with gold paper and silver/gold ribbon I found at one of my Sam's Club excursions. More to come...

I added more of my silver ornaments to this large wooden bowl that sits in the LR.

My mom gave me a pile of these white branches. I added them to this vase of hydrangeas
but I will probably get a tall vase to put them in.

I added these icicles to the branches - so pretty!
