Home Style Saturday #426

Home Style Saturday is in full swing, and everyone is getting a jump on Christmas this year! As I write this, Bobby is across the room wrangling the top of our Christmas tree, stringing it with lights because, after 10 years, they finally aren’t working. I hoped to have the tree decorated about a week ago, but life got in the way! So, tomorrow’s Christmas tree decorating day! Just say a little prayer for us that no more lights stop working!

I’m up first today…

  1. Hi Yvonne, everything is gorgeous! You, your assistant and Bobby have done a spectacular job this year!! I have a question. Living alone, the thing that wears me out is what to do with what gets moved or ‘put away’ to make room for holiday pieces?? Do you pack up what is already on a tabletop? I created a ‘Walter Warehouse of Fixtures’ closet but it’s too full to incorporate the books, tabletop art, etc. so I can put out the Xmas items (which come from bins in the garage…and not everything in those bins gets used. Adding existing home decor to them would crush what I’m not using.) Do you have a solution for me? Thank you!!

    1. I have a big basement, Marcia. But I don’t move a lot. Just some accent decor. Have a beautiful Christmas.

  2. Yvonne,
    I love following your tips and ideas. You have made such a difference in many decorating ideas for me. You have a gold framed painting, of children in the snow above your Christmas decorated fireplace, I would love to know where you purchased it from.
    Thank You
