Lemon Tree adds a Sunny Vibe in the Sunroom

 

Back in late November,   I moved most of my faux tree's into storage to make room for our Christmas tree's.     H started bringing the faux tree's  out of storage a couple of days ago,   and I decided that I didn't want the lemon tree back in the kitchen where it had been before.    I found it a fresh new spot in the sunroom......

Romantic Dining Room

 

H & I are empty nesters and we enjoy having a glass of wine and a romantic dinner in the evening pretty much every night.....but I try hard to make our meal  extra special around Valentines day.   A few more candles on the table and a fresh flower arrangement can make all the difference in the world when you're trying to add some romance to your tablescape...don't you agree !

Happy New Year!

Welcome to our 2023 Winter Family Room

Winter Fireplace for 2023

 

I made some changes in the wall decor over the mantel  and on the walls to the side of the fireplace for 2023.     I like to change the wall decor every few years and I will share how it looked in past years at the end of my post.  

Transitioning from Christmas to Winter Decor

 

I absolutely love to decorate our home for Christmas,     but it is time to start slowly transitioning from Christmas to Winter decor.      First,   I  pack away the Santa's and everything that is bright red and just screams Christmas.

I really don't enjoy wrapping presents,   so I was  excited to wrap my last 4 this morning!
