it's looking like christmas around here!

I've had most of my decorating done for a while now, but had been putting off posting pictures because I wanted to do some more things and change others.

I've since ran out of gas and decided to leave the rest for next year's decorating.

I did find time for a new wreath for the front door.



I was inspired by this wreath I found from Martha Stewart.

Martha always does it up right!

I kept the entry pretty simple this year - aka I got tired of fiddling with it and just walked away :D

I swapped out last years' red ribbons for burlap this time and like it SO much better.

The living room's Christmas decor got a makeover from last year as well.

Red tree ribbon went bye-bye and was replaced with black and white striped grosgrain.

Red ornaments also got left in the box and I stayed with a silver and gold scheme.

And, the red trimmed tree skirt just got covered up with burlap sacks :)

If anyone is thinking I'm sending a pregnancy hint with the 4th stocking I'm not, it's our dog's :D

Who, by the way, made an appearance in almost all of the pictures in this post.  I feel like it could be Where's Waldo!

That's pretty much it!

There's a little decor up in the dining room, but it's overshadowed by the piles of junk still hanging out on the table :)

Merry Christmas!!!
