197th Inspire Me Tuesday

Welcome to the 197th Inspire Me Tuesday.  Wow you guys definitely finished off your Christmas posts with some gorgeous pictures and tons of inspiration.  I have so many ideas for next year.  Here are just a few that you guys shared this week.

White Bohemian Beauty shared a tour of her gorgeous home for Christmas.  I love her village under her cloches.



I loved this picture of Simply Suzanne's Nativity.


Houspitality Designs gives us a step by step tutorial for this stunning vignette.


A Toile Tale created this fabulous tablesetting.  Love the dishes and look at the napkin rings too.


Dirty Hands, Beautiful Life uses her vintage finds to create some of the cutest Christmas decor.  Love this screen door.

Decor To Adore gives us a tutorial on how to make these fabulous trees, plus she shares the most inspiring CHRISTmas story.


Learning, Creating, Living showed us how to wrap some super fun and creative packages.


Ok, let's see what you have for this week.

    Hi Marty! I love your picks this week! Laura's trees are just awesome, and those little BHG dishes were gone from WalMart before I had the chance to nab them - they make such a pretty table setting. Well, 2013 is a wrap, and that's what I'm all about this week. Thank you for hosting this fun weekly event and Happy New Year!

    Happy New Year Marty! Thank you for hosting today. I was not going to post today, I have been ill with a stomach virus since the day after Christmas and have not done anything new. But I thought my Nutcracker tablescape would be ok to use. I have really enjoyed checking out the New Years posts on the links today. We will be having chicken noodle soup again today, may be I could light a couple of silver candles and serve our soup in silver bowls to celebrate the New Year..... Candy
