The top two and bottom left photos were taken last year in the house we have been decorating for the last 2 days. I will post photos of this year's work, as soon as I get them. In this home, everything gets done the same or nearly the same for 3-4 years, and then it all gets changed. The homeowner purchases most of the decor items, and we assemble it and decide where to put it. This is only a small part of what we do for this one; it is on 3 levels and nearly the whole house gets decorated.
The bottom right photo is a small artificial tree I did several years ago for a friend. She doesn't have a mantel, so she utilizes the bar between the dining area and living room to display stockings.
beautiful work, kenju! I love the tree you made, very nice :-)

ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I have to admit that our decorating is not as theme-driven. It tends to be a mishmash of old and new, traditions combined with fun new stuff.
Oh say, I answered your two questions. You made me bear a small part of my heart, Judy... sigh
Wish I had a house now. Wish I had my decorations out of storage. Wish you were here to make it look sooooooo pretty. You do great work.
ReplyDeleteAbout the steaming of veggies. I got a little electric steamer several years ago and it is fabulous. Have you ever tried just cutting up small red potatoes in 1 inch blocks and steaming them....let me tell you about a sweet taste, with just a little sale, a spray of butter and a little ground fresh rosemary....wonderful!
Hi Kenju--Guess what!? Michele sent me!!
ReplyDeleteI love the image of the little Christmas tree. It reminds me of the tiny East Village apartment I used to live in. Of course, there was no room for a big tree, so I used to buy a tiny pine tree looking plant and decorate it with ONE strand of lights!! It was so cute. I kinda miss my old apartment, even though I couldn't wait to leave there when I left! Go figure.
All the decor pics here and below are so lovely. I am really getting into the Christmas spirit!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, Judy! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas' spirit is all around the blogsphere!
Very pretty! How far will you travel for this type of work? *wink*
