Christmas in the Upstairs Bathroom, Christmas Home Tour, 2016

In this post, I will be sharing how I decorated the upstairs Bathroom for Christmas......

But first, I want to Thank Karren, over at Oh My Heartsie Girl, for featuring my post, Been Updating Some of my Outside Christmas Decorations, from last week's Friday Feature Linky Party!!

Thanks so much , Karren!!

I also want to Thank the hosts of Snickerdoodle Create, Make and Bake Linky Party, for featuring the same post, Been Updating Some of my Outside Christmas Decorations, as the Most Clicked On from last week's party!!

Thanks so much to Beverly, over at Across the Boulevard, Laurie, over at My Husband Has Too Many Hobbies, Sharon, over at The Willow House, and Donna , Two Chicks and a Mom!

Please stop by these wonderful blogs and link up to these great parties!!!

I have decorated the Upstairs Bathroom, which I always say is the smallest bathroom known to man, for several years now and this only proves that you can set up a Tree in any room......

This Tree sits on top of the shelf unit that fits over the toilet!!

Yep, that is the only place where I can display a Tree in this tiny Bathroom!!

Tree #5

There are 20 + Trees in our townhouse decorated for Christmas this year....

The colors of my upstairs bathroom are purple, green and beige so the colors that I used in my Christmas decorating are purple, green and gold.........

I like hanging wreaths on the inside doors of the house........

This is the bathroom door.....

I made this wreath a few years ago..........

This year, I wanted a bit more gold to it so I looked in my stash of craft items and found gold ornament picks that I bought at The Dollar Tree last year and added them to the wreath.....

I hung a stocking that I embellished from the wreath along with a purple ornament.....

I bought a bunch of stockings on clearance at Burlington one year for $1.00 each and this lovely gold velvet stocking was one of them.....

I think I might actually have some purple beads that I might want to add too!!

When you walk into the bathroom, you see the Tree......

This small potted Tree is perfect here......

I made a bow out of gold and purple ribbon for the top of the Tree.....

This Tree is decorated with ornaments that I bought on Clearance after Christmas one year......

I tucked gold poinsettias bought at Dollar Tree into the Tree.......

I also decorated a bit around the base of the Tree......

Over on the left side is a purple vase filled with gold glittery poinsettias and purple berries......

An ornament of purple gift packages.....

In front of the Tree is another ornament with a cute Santa scene......

I placed purple ornaments on top of the shelf unit but had to place them in little dishes because they kept rolling off and I was afraid they would fall in the toilet!!

LOL!!

Over on the right side, is a brass candle holder that normally rests in this same place........

All I did is tuck a few gold berries into the candle ring to glam it up a bit........

The purple putz house that lights up was bought at Jo Ann Fabric last year.......

I wanted to add a bit of Christmas to the sink area so I simply replaced the flowers in a small purple vase with a gold poinsettia and a purple berry pick......

There are 2 sets of battery operated purple LED lights on the Tree......

I will be eventually be doing an Evening Tour of our house with all the lights lit so you will see more of this Tree then.....

Up next on the Tour is the upstairs Hallway which I did decorate a bit more this year than in the past......

So I hope you will come by and visit again!!

Christmas in the Master Bedroom, Christmas Home Tour, 2016

Christmas decorations in the Master Bedroom is pretty much a tale of 2 Trees..........

This is Tree #3.......

I have 20 + decorated Trees of all sizes in our townhouse this year.....

This one I call my Victorian Lady Tree.......

This is the second year that I have used this tree in an urn but this year, I painted the urn, which was originally black, gold....

The gold fits in so much better with my decor....

This is "my" Tree because it is decorated in the Victorian Style that I love.......

This Tree is decorated with Victorian Style ornaments like purses......

Hats.........

Shoes.....

Dress forms......

Ladies in Hats......

Even a vanity........

A pretty pink and gold shimmering bow tops the Tree........

With streamers flowing down........

Gloves......

Everything that a Victorian Lady would need.......

And it is topped off with Victorian like peacock feathers like feathers on a beautiful Victorian hat!!

This table will be painted in the Spring along with the entire bedroom set which was my Mother's.......

Around the bottom of the Tree....

A Bride and Groom in a gold frame...part of my instant ancesters ( meaning no relation to me but bought at a yard sale)

A burgundy velvet evening bag with an embellished hanky......

Gloves with a pretty brooch......

A lovely tea cup with a beg of tea in a lace bag......

A pretty Victorian Doll Head ornaments and another dainty hanky......

Completing "My" Tree in our bedroom........

Giving Joe equal time here........

Over on the opposite side of the room, is Joe's Pittsburgh corner......

Joe is an avid Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Penguins fan......

We also have Season tickets to the Pittsburgh Penguins AHL team, The Wilkes Barre Scranton Penguins, who play at the arena located about 5 minutes from our house.......

Every year, I decorate a Pittsburgh Tree for Joe.......

I used a different Tree this year.... a small feather type of Tree........

Tree #4

Let's start over in the left hand corner.......

I have been lucky enough to find Team ornaments in our local stores......

A stocking and a hockey player hang from the shelf above the desk........

Joe's Penguin Hockey lamp.........

On the desk........

A framed photo of Joe with Tux, the Wilkes Barre Scranton Penguins mascot who Joe booked to make an appearance at our Church Festival one year..........

Penguin Team mini Nutcrackers, a Pittsburgh Steeler's Santa and a snowman hockey player.........

Joe 's Tree sits on a Pittsburgh Steeler's place mat made by a friend of ours.......

It is decorated with ornaments from both teams.......

It is topped with a tiny red bow.......

Here is a close up look of the ornaments......

The Tree is lighted with a set of battery operated LED fairy lights...........

At the base of the Tree..........

A Christmas hockey puck and a Penguin candle holder......

Over on the right hand side.......

Ornaments also hang from the shelf above on this side too......

This hand crafted Pittsburgh Penguins Tree was bought at a local Crafter's Co Op and I since I will be leaving this on display year round, I am not counting it as a Christmas Tree......

Around the base of this Tree.......

More Penguin's Hockey ornaments and mini Nutcrackers.......

You can see that I also placed a few gold ball ornaments on top of the desk.......

Even a Penguin's Santa cap is hanging from Joe's special team chair that I made for him!!

Since I am still working and work night shift where I have to sleep during the day, these are the only Christmas decorations in our bedroom for now........

I may add more when I retire in a few years but time will tell......

Up next on the tour of our home decorated for Christmas , will be the decorations in the Upstairs Bathroom and Hallway which I did add more decorations to this year.......

So I hope you will come back and visit again ..........

CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE THE TOUR.....
