Our house turned 100 years old this year.
There are some things I truly love about this gray-haired lady:
- Character oozes from its nooks and crannies
- Stories told of those married in our home way back when
- My writing nook upstairs
While I enjoy this old place year-round, it’s at Christmastime, when she decides to don her bows, fresh fir, Shiny Brites, and greenery that I love her the most.
What brings a smile to your face upon walking into your home during the Christmas season?
Cathy, your house is beautiful! I love old houses. So much character. Thanks for letting us share a peek.
Thank you, Vonda!
Oh Cathy, your house is fabulous!! I loved your writing nook, but that staircase is something else!!
What makes me smile when I walk in the house? I love my tree with all our special ornaments, but I love the garland on the staircase on my porch. Every time I look at it I think of my sister and one of my best girlfriends.
I was in the hospital one Thanksgiving, and they decided to give me an early gift: they shopped for the garland and lights, then decorated the entire house for me. They wanted me to be able to recuperate in a festive house and not have to worry about decorating.
And when I wound up in the hospital the very next Thanksgiving, they did it again 🙂
How special, Susan. What love you must feel when you're reminded of those years. Thanks for sharing!
Your home is as lovely and warm as you.
Pipper will enjoy this sight next year.
Serve on.
