I would like to welcome you to our home!
This is Part One of our Home Tour! At the end of this post you will be able to link to Part Two, my Dining Room and at the end of that post, you will be able to link to Part 3, my Living Room.
And so it will go until you link through all 7 Posts of My Home Tour! Please keep linking through to see all of our home decorated for Christmas with my 14 trees!!!
I am going to start with the front of our home......
We live in a townhouse and there are 10 homes in my row.
This is my front porch......
There are 3 different styles of homes in my Townhouse development....
Mine is the largest and I have a connecting front porch with my next door neighbor on one side....
The Penguins are for hubby, Joe, who is a huge Pittsburgh Penguins Fan.
We also have season tickets to the Wilkes Barre- Scranton Penguins Hockey games which is the AHL affiliate of Pittsburgh.
The tin stocking was bought as a gift for me from a friend. She bought it at Country Folks.
Our Front Door......
Yes, I made the wreath....
The front porch......
My Childhood sled that was bought as a Christmas present for me at the Western Auto Store...
Who remembers their neighborhood Western Auto Store?????
The wooden reindeer next to the sled was made for me by my son, Joey , in Cub Scouts!
I decorated it up a bit......
This wooden sleigh was made for me by my son , Jim, when he was in Cub Scouts....
Sorry this is a bit blurry...
This is my newest addition....
This white Victorian looking planter was from our Church Flea Market. The church had 2 of them that they were getting rid of.
My friend, Ann Marie , has the other one!
I filled it with red poinsettias and greenery....
My Lamp Post and more Penguins for Joe!!
Large wreaths on the windows....
My little flower bed under my Living Room window....It would look so much better with a bit of snow but none yet......
My chippy angel from Target several years ago....
In the day time....
Now ...... at night....
These candle pathway lamp lights are from Big Lots......
The Living Room Window.....
A Spotlight on the large wreath hanging in the middle of the house....
The white lights are from Target and one set are icicles and the rest have covers on them like star bursts....
There are 13 steps from our parking lot ( no garages) and there is a retaining wall and large slope in front of my house....
Well, that is the front of our home!
