It's begining to look a lot like Christmas....

The house is not ready to be moved into yet, but I was feeling the Christmas spirit and did a little decorating!  As you may recall, there was a HUGE old mirror that was glued and screwed into the wall.  My hubby and sweet dad took it down for me, then I got to work.

There were some areas that needed to be repaired before the Mythic paint could go up.  All in all, I was pleasantly surprised.  The glue had been put on so long ago, it really had not hold and did not greatly harm the wall.  I then put up a good coat of primer then paint.  While the paint was drying I made a couple of stockings from some scraps.  I really love the rusticy look to these little guys. I put a little red bell on D's and a tiny glittery pinecone on mine!  I was so pleased with how this tured out-Just the look I was going for!

I just love the way the tree lights show up in the mirror on the mantle! I promised myself I would not buy ANY christmas decor this year and I think I did really well-I used all of our old stuff that had been stored away!

My hot hubby and I celebrated 6 years this weekend.  We had a great Winter wedding and tall beautiful trees decorated in all white and silver at the home of the recption.  Some of my favs are a tad too heavy for our tree, so I placed them in a little hammered metal bucket next to the fireplace.  Love this!

We are not living in the new/old house yet, but I have been taking a mug of hot cocoa over and studying for finals this week. Umm...yummy!  The progress may slow down a bit until we both get this semester behind us!
