You can see detail in the wreath clearer in this picture than the one I posted yesterday. It really is a pretty wreath.
Here is a wider view of the china cabinet so that you can get a better feel for the size of the wreath.

When it comes to decorating for the holidays, I leave no room untouched. A little decoration even in the bathroom is called for.
This wreath hangs on the upright cabinet that holds guest towels and other essentials in the main bathroom. It is a similar version of the one above with slight changes. It is a beautiful winter white. Winter white is an off-white unlike the bright whites one would wear or decorate with in the summer. If you held up something in winter white next to say, a pair of summer white shorts, you would immediately see the difference. This adds just the right touch to the room.
Here is a picture of the kissing ball I hung at the front door this year. This is an artificial arrangement. It was so lifelike that I couldn't tell at first whether it was real or artificial. Manufacturing has improved so much over the years that I actually decided that this would do just perfectly. In years past I would never have thought of hanging an artificial kissing ball, but I guess I am changing with the times.
Finally, here is a shot of a Christmas themed wall hanging that I used for the first time just last year.
I took down the artwork that hangs on this wall in the hallway and replaced it with this for the season. It is burlap stretched over a frame and then painted with a holiday theme. Very eclectic. I loved it and it fits the space perfectly.
So there are a few more ideas for Christmas decorating. We have learned today the difference between winter white and summer white; that it is OK to put a wreath in the bathroom; that artificial kissing balls are acceptable to use; and that we can replace artwork on the walls during the Christmas season. Come back tomorrow for some more useful ideas.
