Christmas has come to our foyer....
....by way of STARS
....and SANTAS
(Beautifully created by my dear quilting friend Marcia W.)
....and my favvie: METAL CHRISTMAS TREES
.....add some winter greenery
and a few rustic touches, et.....voila!
Good 'Ole St. Nick likes things easy and simple!
A heavy old urn filled with branches
is a simple way to show off little wicker stars.
A great way to "feature" a mini
quilted wall hanging
quilted wall hanging
is to use wire or fishing line and just
put over a mirror to make a temporary frame!
Simple vignettes can be placed anywhere - even on a wall!
We keep our other small rustic homespun Charlie Brown tree
up in the loft area here just to the right of this art niche
out of sight of this shot
I plan to share pics of that soon!

ReplyDeleteHi Michele1
ReplyDeleteYour foyer is lovely. What a talented friend you have who beautifully made your large Santa. He is spectacular and looks great in your home. Your stars and twigs are so nicely arranged by your front door. They create such a welcoming setting for friends and family.
Blessings,

Love your foyer! Stars, stars and more stars. Great Santas!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Michele! What a great niche, too. It must be fun to decorate that area! Love your Santa's. I put out a few less of mine this year {and one needs some repairing}.
ReplyDeleteYour foyer looks lovely Michele and I can appreciate rustic holiday decor. The santa dressed in white is very nice.

Love that Santa's expression...it's so cute and cheeky. You have a knack with decorating and I do thank you for sharing your home with us!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful Christmas decor! You really have a deft touch, it seems, and know just when to decorate and when to stop! I like the idea about the mini quilt, too. I've always wondered how I would display one (if I ever finish one), and this is a MOST helpful idea. Thanks!
ReplyDeletevery pretty Michele, I love christmas and seeing everyone's decorations. The ideas keep coming now I do need to finish.
ReplyDeleteYour foyer looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful home you have!
I love metal trees too and I like your wall display with the angel carrying a wreath.
Thanks for sharing your tip about hanging small quilts - great idea!

I see your decorating is progressing and even up the stairs. It is so much work plus the time and effort. Your metal Christmas tree is too cute with your Willow Tree angel. Keep it going.
ReplyDeleteI love the champagne corks!!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea for the mini quilts!!!
Lovely, Michele~as always

Looks just great! That is a good idea for the quilt!
ReplyDeleteHi Michele,
ReplyDeleteYour little touches make your home so whimsical and Christmasy! Great idea hanging the little quilt over the framed mirror.
Thank you for praying for my son. He has been through quite an ordeal. The surgery was much more serious than we originally thought. My job will be changing dressings the next few days as his sweet wife doesn't have the stomach for it.
Thank you for linking up to my HOME and have a wonderful weekend, my friend.
Blessings,
Sandi
Love you pix...so fun and yet simple and not overdone. Lovely.
