I am slowly but surely getting my Christmas decorating done….I have gone in a totally different direction this year than I normally do….what is UP with that?? I am, after all, the glitter Queen! But this year I find myself drawn to serene and calm….the Season I suppose….paired with my state of mind….
I thought I would share some photos of my buffet in my dining room…
pre-greenery…and a sunnier day….
I ordered a vinyl and applied it to the mirror…it was easy! The dolls and the lamb were my mothers :) Steve made me the little wooden riser as I needed something to “lift up” that little vignette…
Sharon and I were eating at the Mellow Mushroom Saturday and could not help but notice the lovely green LARGE bushes lining the parameters of the parking lot. Suffice to say that we snipped a limb or two or three or four and that is what you see on the buffet…..Disclaimer….no large green bushes were permanently damaged in the decorating of this buffet….just sayin’
Thank you so much for stopping by…I will be posting more as I move through the decorating abyss…..
Have a Great Day!

Loving your choice in decor. I look forward to seeing more! Enjoy the process......
ReplyDeleteI went with serene and calm too! For me it has been nice to just slow down a little. This year has been so hectic. I still have some decorating to do but, I am not going over the top this year. I need some calm.
Hi Cinda,
ReplyDeleteYour buffet looks lovely. I really like the words scripted on the mirror...it adds such a nice touch.

I love the lamb and the doll with wings, and I love, love, love tiny bottle brush trees! You buffet looks so festive! Can't wait to see more!

Beautiful Lou Cinda!! I LOVE the decal on your mirror. Martina
ReplyDeleteI love your simple vignette, Lou Cinda. That little woolie is adorable and the vinyl adds so much to the mirror. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, I got one little tree done this afternoon. woo hoo I tried to get the last 2 done, but both of the stands for those suckers are broken. I wonder if that's a sign to say, "Sue, stop at 5 trees!" LOL
Oh, this is so pretty, of course I love the lambs, but the dolly with the angel wings is just precious!! Actually trimming the bushes stimulates growth, so think of it like that!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWow, gorgeous! I love the words on the mirror...that's really not something you'll see at everybody's house. The little lamb is precious. Love the dolls too.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and old-fashioned. Love how these decorations remind me of holidays past.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the color palette! The dolls and the lamb are just too precious! What a beautiful reminder of Christmas with your mother! I am living through others' decorating this year, so I am anxious to see more!

Your buffet looks so nice Lou Cinda! I love all the things that you used! I am very partial to white bottle brush trees and the riser you used adds to the whole vignette!~Hugs, Patti
ReplyDeleteWow, it all looks just great, and now we have the weather to match the Christmas decor! Thanks for posting this, I needed a little push to get in the holiday spirit!
ReplyDeleteLouCinda,
ReplyDeleteThis is serenely peaceful and calm. A Quiet Christmas vignette. I adore the angel doll combined with the sheep!The addition of the greens is a plus!!! Thank you for sharing your change in direction for Christmas this year!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Looks beautiful!!! I love the idea of the vinyl stencil on the mirror! I may be borrowing that one if I can find the right size and saying! All of it is wonderfully done and beautifully exacuted!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking good, Lou Cinda! I'm doing bleached bottlebrush trees, too! I'm trying to keep things simple this year. I've been going through all my stuff while trying to decorate and getting rid of stuff and giving my daughter stuff, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.....simple and serene.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
Hugs,
Debbie
I love your bottle brush trees!! (I think that's what they are called.) The whole vignette is so soft and wintery! :)
ReplyDeleteIt came out great and I really like to vinyl Silent Night....nice touch!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!! Where Mr. Rabbit? I always look for that beautiful bunny, now you have dolls and lambs for me to covet too!!! Love the mantle!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!!!
So pretty! I love the mirror and the buffet with those two pretty lamps! Looking so good and festive in your parts!
ReplyDeleteLouCinda your buffet is just beautiful. Your vinyl stencil on the mirror is just perfect for your new color scheme. I can't wait to see the rest of your festive decor! One question where is Mr. Rabbit????
ReplyDeleteYour partner in crime

Love your calm serene Christmas decor! I chuckled to read of you snipping the greens. I've been thinking of doing the same thing in my neighbor's yard but am afraid someone might see me! lol
ReplyDeleteL.C., I'm loving every single bit of it...including the bootleg greenery. You're a braver woman than me. I'd probably of got caught taking a little off the top...so to speak.
ReplyDeleteThe lamb is precious...even more so because it was your mom's.
Deb
It truly does look serene and calm Lou Cinda, and beautiful to boot! I've always been a fan of your gorgeous home and decor.

ReplyDeleteI love your vintage Christmas buffet, my friend! I love all of your vintage bottle brush trees and the fluffy little lamb! Sooo very pretty, Lou Cinda! Thank you for sharing your Christmas home with us today!
Warmest Christmas Wishes,

Lou Cinda I love your Christmas vignette! I'm really loving the more muted calming tones this year. Love the mirror too. That sheep is so fabulous! And way to go with the "borrowed" greenery *winks* It makes a huge difference. Vanna

ReplyDeleteA beautifully serene vignette! I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove your holiday vignette, specially the sheep.

How sweet! Love your brush trees. I know what you mean. One minute I want turquoise, hot pink and glitter...the next it's burlap, white and simple! What's a girl to do?
ReplyDeleteLove your little angel doll...so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI just love you vintage pieces!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the bottle brush tree is stunning!!
