Modern Christmas
Christmas is celebrated in so many ways....there are elaborate and elegantly formal Christmases....there are relaxed country style Christmases....Christmases in the snow, and Christmases in the sun. All can be beautiful and full of cheer.
This house from the
Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour had a modern twist to its holiday decor. It had a bit of a Scandinavian flavor to it....simple, yet cozy....and there were lots of yummy looking treats!
In the Living Room, there was a felted wool Christmas tree on a Saarinen side table, and the main Christmas tree was simply decorated with little wool ball garlands, pine cones and strands of lighted globes. I really liked this tree...unique and so cheery!
The front hall had a
red bench designed by Mark Goetz of blank blank, a Sacramento company. I noticed another blank blank piece in the Living Room behind the cowhide chair. (For a better picture of the Burnt Credenza, click on over
HERE).
The Dining Room was, again, simple, yet welcoming. The place cards were very clever.....each guest had their picture by their place....simple cedar garland and little lighted tree, and voila....
In the Kitchen Nook we found more trees with twinkle lights. Sometimes that is all that is needed. And lots of goodies....
There were Croquembouche, a chocolate tart, and lots of delicious looking cookies...
Christmas is about family and coming together with loved ones in celebration....
This home is ready for the celebration to begin!
