Believe

Are you like me?  As soon as Christmas is over I can't wait to take the decorations down and get my house back to normal.  This year I feel like that even before Christmas arrives! 

I used to love decorating the house from top to bottom with lots of red and white and greens, garlands on the mantles and over doorways, snowmen, Santas, Christmas plates, etc. 

I never thought I'd say this but I don't want more, I want less.  It used to be that I'd have 5 things on a table, but now one is enough.  So as the months go by you are going to see a change in the look of my home.  But right now it's Christmas so I have done a little decorating for the season.

I bought this wonderful "BELIEVE" sign at Olde Tyme Marketplace and  I plan to use it all year long.  
 Then I cut some branches from the yard and hung a few thrifted vintage blue balls and crocheted snowflakes I've found at yard sales over the years.



 Propped a mirror up behind it.  No use putting ANOTHER  hole in the wall unnecessarily :)
 
 I love the way you can see the reflection of our living room in the mirror.  A tip: mirrors are great for making a space feel larger.
 I put the branches in one of my signature blue and white vases and added some extra blue balls in a dish.

 This is what greets our guests when they come to visit.  I wished YOU lived closer and  really were able to visit me! 
I like it.  It's simple, pretty, and inexpensive.

I hope you have a great weekend!
