Goodbye Christmas - Christmas Home Edition

Now that we are home from the holidays, it is time to take down and say goodbye to our Christmas decorations. As I was taking them down, I remembered that I had one post left in our Christmas edition! So here is a peak at the rest of our decorations and our tree. :)



Here is the kitchen bar all decked out with a gold bowl for fruit. 


 
 Our lovely white pitcher was refilled with greenery and red berries. The Red ribbon and gold pine cones tie everything together.

 
 

Then in the dinning room, I used a beautiful gold glass lantern as the centerpiece (A gift from my sweet mom!). I placed a red leaf place-mat on the neutral runner for added color. Berries and pine cones finished off the look. 



Behind the table, we utilized our half wall since we don't have a fireplace this year. It worked perfectly to hang our stalkings and display our collection of nutcrackers!



 Then, we "elfed" our apartment by hanging snowflakes over our built in buffet! Matt was so sweet to help me cut and hang all of them up! 



 We also bought our first mistletoe this year! It hang from the ceiling over the walkway between the buffet and wall. 



  
In the bathroom,I kept things simple by adding gold and red berries and a pretty bow. I also add a Christmas candle called "Merry Mistletoe" (Bath&BodyWorks).


 
 In the living room we had to move around the coffee table (trunk) in order to fit the tree by the window. On the trunk, I used an old box to hold Christmas candles and berries.


On the shelf in the corner, I filled a mason jar with mini pine cones and added berries to the vase. I also used another Christmas candle called "Frosted Cranberry," (Bath&Bodyworks) which smells so yummy!


 A last glimpse of our Christmas tree! I will miss this view until next year, but I'm looking forward to the coming Spring! 

Hope you all enjoyed your holiday season and New Year celebration! We are excited for what 2013 holds and wish you all a blessed year.
