I have had our house mostly decorated for Christmas since early December but somehow I haven’t shown very much of it on the ol’ blog. The shame.
Today I’d like to share with you our mudroom. I took all of these photos myself because Nate was sleepy. (He did help me frost 1 billion sugar cookies so he’s totally off the hook.) My photography skills are pretty awful. I do good work.
The chalkboard needed some holiday love. I chose part of a quote from my favorite Christmas movie. I watched it twice on Saturday. Seriously. If you don’t love the movie Elf, I want you to leave this blog right now. Or you can stay if you promise to improve your holiday movie taste.
I made some “garland” out of vintage light bulbs and Baker’s twine. It makes me smile. I only broke one bulb in the process. Nate was proud of me.
The nutcrackers are an oldie but a goodie. I was painting nutcrackers before painting nutcrackers was cool. The prints I either had or made in PhotoShop. Because life is merrier with a Wire Fox Terrier.
That’s it. A few simple touches to make our mudroom merry.
What’s your favorite holiday movie? Is your house all decorated?
Very beautiful! I've never seen your mudroom before - I love it! All of the festive touches look so warm and great in the space. The prints and nutcrackers are my favourite :)
ReplyDeleteLove the little Christmas touches....and Elf is the best movie and most quotable one too! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great mudroom. We have a small laundry room off of our garage that I'm pushing to turn into a mudroom by relocating the washer and dryer. This post is exhibit A in my case for making the change.
ReplyDeleteThose old bulbs are perfect!
Your mudroom looks great! And I love Elf! I'm happy I'm still welcome on your blog!
ReplyDeleteI love the light bulb garland, so cute!! Great simple touches.
ReplyDeleteLove the red accents! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome! Nutcrackers completely creep me out, otherwise I'd totally dig your painted ones. ;)
ReplyDeleteElf is great. I pick up new hilarious lines every time I watch it!
Elf is an amazing movie! Love that one! I don't know if I love it enough to watch it twice in one day... but definitely a few times each season.
ReplyDeleteI love your mudroom touches. The black, white and red scheme is amazing!
I adore that strand of lights! Super cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the little festive touch! The strand of lights is my favorite! And I think I'm going to watch Elf tonight! :)
ReplyDeletesooo cheery!
ReplyDeleteSo cute. I love the vintage lights and the nutcrackers. I totally forgot about Elf. I love that movie. Now I'm going to have to watch it. I wonder if it's appropriate for a 5 year old. BTW-is that an auto water bowl for Ike? I want to get one for my kitty and that's the smallest one I've seen (unless it's something else). Where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THE VINTAGE LIGHTS GARLAND. SO MUCH. I'm dying of jealousy.
