Day 355 of 2024

I'm getting this room ready for a new rug roll out.

 

Day 283 of 2023

 

I've spruced up the mantle a little bit. 

I bought the cute garland a while ago

 and it seems like the right time to put it out.

Sometimes I just need a little reminder.

 

Day 293 of 2022

To answer the question about my owl on the mantle, 

here is the bottom of his base with as much information as I have. 

I did a google search and never once came up with even an image

 of the exact one I have. 

(I have just searched again with the number on the top portion of the sticker shown here. Lots more information is available. It is retired, but it seems some are for sale.)

I can't remember exactly where or when I bought it 

but it had to have been 2005 or later, but before it was retired.

I have several Jim Shore pieces including a few large Santas and a snowman.

 

Day 290 of 2022

Things are getting just a little bit spooky on the mantle.

 

Day 321 of 2018

It's almost time to say goodbye to the fall mantel.

Day 310 of 2017

My quick solution for changing Halloween decor to something Thanksgiving appropriate?

Turn the pumpkins around. 

Done.

Day 328 of 2016

For those of you who have not seen this room, this is unrecognizable. 

For those of you who have seen it, you know this is true.
