We're at the point of... what have we done!!!

The Porch

We love our front porch.  It has needed some extra attention for some time though and we are finally getting around to it. We are doing all the work ourselves.

First up, taking up the ugly tile walk way.  We all pitched in and got this job done in a couple of hours.

Lots more to come!

Natural colors

I've seen a lot of rooms decorated in neutral colors and I love have peaceful they look.  I thought I would try shopping my home and see if I could create the look for our front porch.  I'm really happy with the way it turned out, there is such a sense of calm in that space.

This look will be short lived though, we are giving our porch a much needed update.  I'll tell you more about that tomorrow.

Winter Decorating

My home can seem a little tired after all the Christmas cheer is tucked away. So I gave a few rooms a little pick me up.

Music

Music is a really important part of setting the atmosphere for the holidays.  This week I organized some of our music on itunes and made a Christmas play list.  We also have a bunch of Christmas Cd's that I want Brian to upload for me.

I also purchased Mindy Gledhill's Winter moon through itunes, it is so sweet.  Katie says her voice sounds like a fairy.

Giving:  Music is a gift.  Most years Brian puts together a Christmas mix and gives it out for the holidays.  This year, we hope to be a little more on top of it and send them out earlier.

Gather up all of your holiday music and have it playing in your home.  Help make your family's holiday a little bit more cheery.  If you really enjoy music put together a CD and pass them out to your loved ones.  I bet it will put a smile on their face.

Have a great day!
