Christmas Pianotop Vignette


This year has been a bit unusual for me 
as I am just starting my decorating at the beginning of December
instead of at the beginning of November.


I always thought that when the kids weren't home anymore
I would have oodles of time to get so much done!
Hah!


Either I am way busier,
or way slower,
or most likely a combination of both.


Anyways, the house is slowly coming together
and I have recruited hubby
to haul totes up and down the stairs.


I always start my Christmas decorating in the living room.


First goes up the tree which you can see here.


Then comes the snowglobes (which you can see here)
 that grace the top of the fireplace.


The comes the piano top.
I don't know why but it is always that order.


These angels were a new addition last year.
I had a hard time pulling it all together
and kept going back and adding a little tweak here and there. 


I can't recall the last time 
I actually put lights on the piano top. 


But I am enjoying the soft glow
that it gives off in the evening.


It  may have taken some time
but I am happy with the final result.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

  6. I had to chuckle when you mentioned that you recruited hubby
    to haul totes up and down the stairs. This is the first year I asked my hubby to help do the same :-) I am getting wiser. LOL. Love your Christmas decor.
