My (Late) Holiday Decor Post ~ Last Post for 2010!

Happy New Year! Have a fun party to go to? Or perhaps you are having a quite evening in? Or maybe you are reading this post with a bit of a holiday hangover...yes? ha!

This is my last post for 2010, so I thought I would share my holiday decorating.

Here is where I left you....

...and this is the finished tree....

Remember I wanted to do a white christmas, starting with my mantel....

but since my darling mama wanted a traditional one, I changed it to....

I had some helpers....

a supervisor.....

they hung up their hats and got busy...

we fluffed the pillows...

checked the to do list

added some sparkle....

hung the ornaments with care...

and voila!

I did get some of the white I wanted, the dining room is all about the white, silver and gold...

In case you didn't notice all the ballerinas going on here, I did a theme inspired by the Nutcracker Ballet.

So do share, were you on the naughty or nice list...or the nice and naughty list? ha!

Thank you so much for visiting me! You are a darling for dropping by!

Wishing you and yours a very safe and Happy New Year!

Cheers!

I'm partying with the following fabulous hosts!

Home Design Light

Want a cold atmosphere, select white light. Want a warm, choose yellow. In fact choosing the lighting for the home, not as simple as that, you know.
The presumption was actually not wrong. Determination of “warm” or “cold” is strongly influenced by various factors. One of them is a style of architecture and interior design of a house or room.
Traditionally dominated by the minimalist style of cool colors, the most widely used white. Coupled with a versatile arrangement orderly, neat and clean, not surprisingly minimalist room would generate an atmosphere of “cold”. If it was like, before deciding to apply a light yellow or white, ask yourself, what is desired.
If the home owner decided he wanted to strengthen the atmosphere of ‘cold’, so please use the bright white lights. Conversely, if the owner of the house wanted to “fight” with the warmth of a cold atmosphere, means suitable to apply with a light yellowish light.
Determine the lighting, Many factors, especially the needs and tastes of home owners, which affects the choice of lighting design, light color, until the placement of lights. So do not get stuck belief, yes.

Modern Home Design Light

This is modern house called Sosnowski designed by Chen + Suchart Studio in Tempe, Arizona. Located on the outskirts of Tempe’s urban center, the home exudes an industrial aesthetic. A pronounced steel frame constructed from I-beams is the skeleton for the upper volume, which sits upon a concrete block base. The façade of the upper level is composed of thoughtfully placed windows and naturally weathered corrugated steel panels. The interior pairs concrete floors, exposed ductwork, and industrial light fixtures to create a loft-like atmosphere. Despite its industrial pretense, the Sosnowski Residence remains habitable and inviting thanks to a central gathering space on the ground level that merges the living, dining, and kitchen areas into a single space that fully opens to the surrounding city and desert.
