So you get pictures from October instead.

The living room just beyond has the Christmas tree and all the bright, happy, family-friendly decor in it, so I decided to indulge myself in this hall and keep things more subdued in shades of white, bronze, and green.. Just one little bronze Christmas ball ornament is all it takes to reinforce the theme here..I found these sparkly little balls tied together in a garland leftover from last year so I just plunked them down in a cozy little nest of cedar in this footed bowl.. Glitter and twine – it’s works!

Who would’ve known?This just further proves that twine goes with everything.. And that’s the hall this year!I bet you didn’t even notice how half-finished this room is.

Thanks for celebrating with me!Now this was a fun project!.I stumbled on a sign that I’d painted for Christmas a few years ago and decided to try making a few more to group together this year for a bigger impact..

I really thought it was going to take a lot more to get the look I wanted, but it actually came together pretty easily within a time frame of about 2 weeks..

I used letter stamps on some of them and just sort of free-handed with the paintbrush on others..I’m just lucky that Chris specializes in ridiculously meticulous tasks like that!… and about 20 straight work hours later, we had a tiled wall!.

The floors were also a bit of a finicky tile because of their giant size.We sure know how to pick ’em!

It can be a little challenging to get tiles that big to sit level, especially on top of all of the heated flooring stuff and the cement that goes over it, but we got it done!The first thing you see when you walk into our washroom is the toilet, now that we’ve moved the plumbing around.
