It's Beginning To Look Like Christmas!

It's Monday and time for

Metamorphosis Monday at

"Between Naps On The Porch".

So be sure and make a stop at Susan's

for a peak at all the great inspiration,

you are sure find there.

It's been a little crazy here this week.

We lost all power Wednesday afternoon,

and shortly after lost most of our water

pressure. This was a two day event, in

December, not the best time of the year.

All due to a wind storm!

What made it even worse for me was the

fact that we had ordered a shiny new

black refrigerator! Now they delivered it

set it up, polished it before they left at

1:30 pm and the electricity was lost at 1:45 pm.

Now to say that I have been the brunt of allot

of jokes from my friends is an understatement.

But all is well now! I almost lost it though, when

I didn't get to post for Tablescape Thursday!

So onto the Christmas metamorphosis of the

dining room.

This is what it looked like through the fall.

Now, dressed for Christmas.

I carried the fruit theme into my Christmas

decorating using gold and burgundy.

A little Asian chest spilling over with fruit.

A simple plate rack with large gold trays,

gold and burgundy topiary and a grapevine

wreath with gold fruit.

I didn't use a Christmas tree in this room this

year. Instead I did something I had saw in

a hotel lobby. I used clear mini light on my

ficus trees, layered pine cones around the tree,

added gold poinsettias, burgundy and gold ribbon

and gold Christmas tree ornaments.

I hope you enjoyed your visit, and come back

tomorrow for more Christmas decorating at

Thoughts From Over The Rainbow, I'll

be there, providing I have electricity!

I have to go now I have missed four days of

ideals and eye candy.

Bye For Now,

Sandy
