Home Tour 2010 Part Two - Dining Room and Tree # 5

Welcome to our Home Tour Part Two.

Today I would like to show you our Dining Room.

This is my most Victorian looking room.





I have a 7 foot slim tree in the corner of the room. And this is tree # 5

To see my other trees, please click on the pictures of each on my sidebar


One of my Old World Santa's that I collect....


This is my Mauve Victorian Tree...



I have collected ornaments for this tree over quite a few years now...


The tree has white lights on it along with pink and clear Rose lights.....


I have white tear drop beads draped around the tree and rose colored ones hung like tinsel....


Next to the tree is another one of my Old World Santa's on a marble topped pedestal stand....


This is a hand made Santa that I bought for only $40 from a woman who was retiring and selling off her Santa's.


Back to the tree....
I have tucked white Baby's Breath, frosted roses and pink sprays into the tree...



Here are some of my favorite ornaments...

Three picture Tea Pot Ornaments....

This one has a pic of my Dad holding Joey, my oldest son.


And this one is of my Dad holding Jim, my youngest son.


This one of of my Mom


This picture on the wall is called " May I Play? "



My fake window....
I hung curtains to cover a pass through from the Dining Room into the Kitchen


Looking into the Kitchen


My stereo in the corner...


A Victorian Angel....




On top of my stereo...



Top of a cupboard that my Dad made to match the Dining Room set which was inherited from Joe's Grandmother


Some of my Tea Cup collection....


My Chandy was given to me by one of Joe's Aunts who didn't want it...


Of Course, I had to decorate it...


An Angel hanging in the one corner



A Victorian Stocking......



My Santa sitter...




My Village...


The photo on the shelf is of Joe's Maternal Grandparents....



This village was a complete set from Sam's Club...







This paper mache Santa was $4.00 in Salvation Army....








My Hutch with my collection of Moss Rose China



The photo is of my Paternal Grandparents....


Some of my Victorian Dolls.....


The sled is handmade.....

Welcome to our Home 2010!

Hello!!

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!

Product Review and a few more Sneak Peaks!!

This is just a little FYI post!
I bought this the other day in A.C.Moore's.

Buffalo Snow Hi- Lites!
I thought " How interesting"
I love the mica flakes on Buffalo Snow but not the mess so I thought I would give this a try!


I love it!

I am not done "playing" with it yet but here are a few glimpses!

Please enlarge pics to see it better!

Village on the platform under the Living Room Tree...


Hutch in Den...



Village in the Dining Room..


I wish I had a better camera to show you how it glistens like ice when the lights are on....

I highly recommend it!! Not much mess because it is stretchy!

I will be starting my House Tour on Friday and I will do a room every day or two so stop by often!!

Hugs,
Deb
