Today I’m opening my door to give you a tour of my home at Christmas. I’m not big on traditional Christmas color schemes, so get ready a heavy dose of pink and gold!

As many of you know, I switched out my living room and dining room a few months ago and enjoyed a change of scenery in my home. As the holidays approach, I decided I wanted enjoy the fireplace (sans books – see here what I’m talking about) so I switched them back.
That doesn’t mean my living room looks like it used to, since I traded sofas in the living and enclosed sleeping porch. This is where the red sofa used to sit:

Add a Little Something to Your Ceiling
August 24, 2011 By 9 Comments
If you have a hanging light fixture, you need to consider a ceiling medallion. It may be just what you need to add a little something architectural to your ceiling – to create a finished look. Particularly if you have a chandelier with crystals. I painted mine out the same color as my trim and ceiling – Benjamin Moore’s Prescott Green HC140.
My Dining Room Chandelier and Ceiling Medallion
There are all kinds of medallions available, from plastic to plaster. Even the plastic-paper kind from Home Depot can look fabulous – you can’t tell the difference from so high up. You just need to make sure the medallion fits the look of your space and works with the style of the room. Paint them out your trim color, even if your trim is white – your trim color probably isn’t the same white that the medallion comes in, and you don’t want the medallion to feel stark, stick out too much, or scream plastic-y.

A Chandelier Dilemma
February 11, 2011 By 16 Comments
So I’m sitting in church a couple of weeks back, and a friend came over and told me she was getting rid of a chandelier and wanted to know if I might like to have it. It seems the word has gotten around that I have a thing for chandies. I have 16 hanging in my home, and I’m not the least bit ashamed of it. She described it as sparkly and big with lots of crystals. She had me at sparkly.
Anywho, I met her in the church parking lot last week to take my new baby home. It rattled around the backend of my Pathfinder, crystals dropping and rolling everywhere. Here she is!
French Empire, baby! My favorite style of chandelier. She needs a little TLC, but isn’t she a beauty?

You are NOT going to believe this one. I found this handmade chandelier that I had to share with you. Isn’t it glamorous? Take a guess as to what it’s made of. Go ahead, I dare you. No really. Guess. |

Hot Pink

| I admit it. I love Hot Pink. Not (just) the color, but the store in Brentwood, TN. It’s an unapologetically girly-girl kind of place. |  |

It’s right next door to the popular Puffy Muffin restaurant, where my sisters and mom get together for lunch when each of our birthdays come around. I popped in recently following such a lunch and was excited by all the new spring vignettes throughout the store. |
Crystal Ship Chandelier

| Most of you know I have a weakness for chandeliers. Here’s an over-the-top crystal ship chandelier that makes my mouth water! This room has an overall Scandanavian feel, which I’m always drawn to. So I thought I’d look around and see how this particular chandelier might look in another room. |  |
