I have been tweaking things and trying to add a little Christmas decor. I am going to make it all a little sparse this year, so I dug through all my flower bins and decided that I had enough glitz to make a statement, and call it good.
I made a floral arrangement for the coffee table. I wanted it to tie into the gitz of the dining table.
The dining table got a few changes while I was at it.
(Yes, I am still tweaking. I've already replaced the candlesticks with these hurricanes.)
I'm going to call it all good except for the tree.
DH got all the boxes down, so I need to get going with the rest of the house.

Very pretty, Marty! Love that little Santa. I hear you on the space issue. I do have hurricanes and glass vases stored wherever I can fit them! Of course, when I need them I can never remember where I put them. : )
ReplyDeleteI'm taking a cue from you and putting out less this year, too! I've finally learned that the more I put out, the more I have to put away after Christmas! Your tables look great. Can't wait to see your tree!
ReplyDeleteLove your decorations! So pretty and elegant! Happy weekend :)
ReplyDeleteit all looks fabulous Marty.. I love how you use just the right amount of everything. subtle and elegant.... Perfecto~!
ReplyDeleteMarty, always nice to see your home decorated for Christmas. Love the golds and creams. Your vignettes are perfect to link up tomorrow night, too. hint hint.
ReplyDeleteHi Marty, I always enjoy your posts and I also have decided not to put out so much this year as I fell a few weeks ago and hurt my arm so everything is quite a chore right now. I can't wait to see your tree..I'm sure it will be charming...take care.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Marty. I love glitz and you have showcased your lovely item beautifully.
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful Marty. From reading the other comments it looks like a lot of us are scaling back on our decorations. I'm slowly tweaking mine to be less formal to fit our little mountain home. Can't wait to see your tree.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!!! I like how the magnolias pick up the color of the one pillow on the sofa. Yes, it seems many of us have the same idea for scaling back......and I hear ya on the storage problem.....time to get rid of some stuff!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the dining room table arrangement...classy, pretty and Santa adds a special touch. I had a friend stop by yesterday and told me my house was decorated like a cabin or lodge, so I guess I got exactly the feel I was going for this year...lots of nature.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty - I love the glitz, perfect for this time of year!
ReplyDeleteMarty- That is just the perfect amount of glitz. It is classy looking and pretty- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteMarty, your glitz is wonderful! I love seeing all of your pretty vignettes and settings. Everything always looks so elegant and warm.
ReplyDeleteMarty..I always love your vignettes and your glitz and tweaks!...I love the colors you chose...so elegant!
ReplyDeletelove seeing someone else using magnolia flowers and leaves this year... I read that is the hottest trend this year...happy to know we are on top of it...lol...love the decorations
ReplyDeleteI love your cozy living and dining room Marty. I want to move from this house and I want carpet everywhere! Maybe not the kitchen or br. And I like the lr/dr combo. Everything looks lovely and inviting. xo Nancy
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Marty! I'm going to be downsizing a bit this year too, but you're still way ahead of me! Can't wait to see your tree! Huggs
ReplyDeleteMy friend, you always do such a beautiful job and you know how to add very classic touches without going overboard. I love your deer. Deer are my newest passion this year. Sorry I haven't been by lately, its crazy at the Garrett House. Love you always.
ReplyDeleteOh and I LOVE your header!!!!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and classy display..as always! Sooo elegant!
ReplyDeleteLovely decorative sense. I love the flowers. My mom loves artificial flowers, and panic for a new bunch in every Christmas. Other than that the designer furniture made the room look more trendy.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Marty. I love all of the colors that you've used and the way that it ties together with your room decor.
ReplyDeleteLooking good Marty! Those are lovely hurricanes on your dining table. I love glitz!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so pretty, Marty! I love that you kept some of the glitzy pumpkins from Fall in your Christmas decor. They really add so much, and there is something just so absolutely charming about pumpkins. That is an adorable little Santa that you added to your dining table, and it truly was the finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteHappy decorating and have a great weekend!
Carol

Marty, your home always looks so beautiful, I love all the little touches, Crazy about that santa.
ReplyDeleteI love the mix of poinsettia and magnolia with the added texture of the pumpkins, Marty. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteMarty,
ReplyDeleteThe glitz on the poinsettia is stunning!
I adore the color palette you're infusing with your home decor this year!
Santa and the hurricanes add to the festivity of the Christmas season!
I'll be back soon to see your Christmas tree!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Marty, I call it good, too! Really nice!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty marty! Can't wait to see your Christmas tree! Everything looks great!
