Welcome to my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas!!
I am so happy you decided to stop by my Christmas Blog!!
The majority of my Christmas decorations are placed in the same room every year and I know that this is not what most Decorator's care for but to me, it like seeing old friends again when I decorate each year for Christmas as many of my decorations were gifts from family and friends...........
I do try to add a few new things and change up things a bit but for the most part, these decorations are part of my Christmas Traditions and bring back a lot of treasured memories.....
Thanks so much, Linda!!
I always used to tell people that I am not a nice person and the one girl I worked with would get so upset with me for saying that!!!
LOL!!
The concert was fantastic with all the pyro, lazers, special effects like the 2 large stage arms that lifted the participants up and over the audience!!!!
Joe bought me a 25th Anniversary ornament....
I love that it is black....
I was able to shave a few days off that this year.....
The Dining Room
And the Doll House which I finished yesterday.....
Now I can sit back and RELAX!!
I am so behind on returning comments and I sincerely apologize for that but plan to start catching up today!!!
Okay....
On to my tour of our downstairs Powder Room....
I always like showing a few pics of what it looked like before I decorated it for Christmas/Winter as there is quite a contrast....
The gray walls allow me to completely change the entire color scheme for Christmas to silver, white and blue!!
I hang wreaths on the doors of all my rooms so we will start there....
Above the door way....
In the corner to the left when you walk in....
On the shelf.....
I decorate this room with my Collection of Snow Buddies.....
On top of the medicine cabinet.....
The silver acorns were bought at Dollar Tree and used in this room for Halloween....
On the side of the medicine cabinet are frames that I normally use on the estagere....
I simply changed out the Victorian Lady pictures for Christmas cards and hung them on the wall.....
On the shelf unit above the toilet....
Top of the shelf...
This pays homage to Joe's love of hockey and being a season ticket holder for the Wilkes Barre Scranton Pens and now being employed by the organization....
I have several sets of towels.....
And I change them when one set is in the wash....
The silver mercury glass tree is part of a set of 4 bought a few years back at Sam's Club.....
Actually, it is attached to the tole tray on the wall in the corner and hooked onto the estagere itself....
I added 2 sets of battery operated lights and silver and blue beaded garland....
A few years back, I cut about an inch off the lower branches to make it slimmer so it would fit better in this narrow small space....
I topped the Tree with a bow and this year, added silver branches to the top....
Hence the need to anchor the Tree down....
I hung small silver ball ornaments on the Tree ...
With the blue and white icicle lights off....
On the shelf under the Tree is a little Village.......
I added a small set of fairy lights to the shelf....
On the shelf next to the estagere.....
The top of the shelf.....
"Oops" is because I have been known to fall in some of the best places and the Carpenter Snow Buddy, who is sporting a tool belt, is for my Dad who built the 2 homes that I lived in as a child....
My Mother used to empty buckets of water from her wringer washing machine until my sister and I bought her a modern one so this one is for her and of course, "Remodeling" is for me!!
Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

Debbie, everything looks fabulous. Your home is always so festive. I haven't even started decorating yet. I'm so far behind. I'm also behind in visiting and commenting. Now that it's so cold out, maybe I'll be inside more and have a chance to visit all the pretty blogs! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHey Debbie!
ReplyDeleteThe powder room is lovely and what a joy it must be to look upon your collection. How wonderful you're finished decorating! (I've barely started in my small apartment.)
I hope you and your family have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Blessings, Linda
Linda,

Your mask is wonderful! I have been heard to describe myself as "not nice" a few times too. And I do that less now that I am retired, LOL. Gosh, I just love the blue and silver. It is just so clean and fresh. And I love all your snow buddies! I especially like the stories of the special ones at the end. It is so nice to have things with special meanings. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour snow buddy collection is just charming, even more so to hear the meaning behind them! The colors and lights are so pretty in that room. Congratulations on finishing your decorating! I’m staring tomorrow taking down Fall and Thanksgiving….turkeys and pilgrims, all will be put away for another year. Relax and enjoy your delightful home, it’s so lovely. (Love your mask!)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend. xo,V.

The powder room is so pretty and the concert looks AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteHello Debbie...Your house is as festive as ever for Christmas of 2021. It always looks incredibly festive, every single holiday season. I love the blues in the powder room and the snow people are totally darling. Loved seeing Nelson's Crest, as well. Looks so adorable. I love the idea of putting Christmas cards inside frames and hanging them. I always get a few beauties that are worthy of framing. Take care, Debbie, and have a WONDERFUL Christmas season. Hugs, Susan
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have a lovely, large powder room! Another fun room to decorate -- and so happily!
ReplyDeleteI am not usually one for concerts but Trans Siberian Orchestra is one I have always wanted to see! I just love all the little snow buddies you have everywhere; I used to collect them myself.
ReplyDeleteDeb, sit back, put your feet up and relax, you most certainly deserve it. Everything looks beautiful and wonderful and, believe me, I know how much work goes into it all. Looks like the concert didn't disappoint you and glad you didn't break your streak. As far as you being anything but nice, I doubt that very much..Happy Monday..xxoJudy
