Sunday a couple of friends and I went on a Christmas Tour of Homes in my neighborhood. Wow! is all I can say. The four houses were decorated to the max. They were all done in different styles - Traditional, Eclectric, Lodge, and Tuscany. I was in awe and hated to come back home and think about decorating my home for Christmas.
The Tuscany home was just too much to me though - not necessarily the decorations but the home itself. Sonny and I had gone through the home a few times when it was under construction a couple of years ago. Keep in mind there are just two people living in the home. It was three stories. Downstairs there was a den, two bedrooms, huge "mudroom", full bar, wine cellar, and a media room with copper ceiling. All the doors downstairs were at least 8 feet tall - maybe even 10 feet - I'm not good with that and made of cypress wood. They were gorgeous but $$$. Everything in the home was massive and just over the top - probably at least a two million dollar home. The home next door to them has been for sale for over a year - it started out at 1.9 million - don't know what they are asking now though.
These art pieces were in two of the homes. They used old pieces of jewelry to create a Christmas tree. I'm going to start searching through my family's old jewelry pieces and make one of my own!
This was a centerpiece in the dining room at the tradional home. The "presents" are styrofoam blocks covered in moss and wrapped with beautiful ribbon. So easy!
