We’re finally in the home stretch with our den renovation.  Since our entry, den and small sun room areas all flow together, we redid all three at the same time. All three were painted different colors. They all blended but it was time to lighten things up a bit and tie the three areas together.

a bit of equality in my Christmas decor…

or at least more equality in my blogging about my Christmas decorations… whatever! but I suppose that I could spent a few minutes showing you how “one” area of our home is decorated for this time of year.  It really doesn’t qualify as Christmas decorations.  More like wintery and seasonal decor.  Winter because they are
