My Top Ten Fav Picks From MM#51 and A Christmas Tablescape

Mappy Holidays! 

Sorry I couldn't resist! But you just knew I'd have 

to use that one sooner or later, right?

It has been pretty "mappy" around here since I hit that free
motherload of maps a while back!

And as you may or may not know, I'm a firm believer in making due with what you have.

I like to "shop" my own home and use things I've had for a long time in new ways.

I like to get most of my ideas from you guys, my fellow bloggers.

And from free catalogs, like Pottery Barn. I love PB!

And I'm inspired by things in my past. My home growing up and my Grandma's house.

A little inspiration from here,

A little inspiration from there.

It's like discovering yourself through decorating.

Making your home.....

into a comfortable space.....

which encourages feelings of joy and peace....

not only at Christmas time.....

but all year long too.

Welcome To The 51st Masterpiece Monday!

I started nice and early and I did a lot of decorating this Christmas season.

But, I haven't posted much of it.......

And very soon, it'll be time to take it all down again.

So here are some pictures of my kitchen hutch and further down, my living room buffet.
