Welcome to Our Southern Home! It's really feeling like Christmas here in our home and with the chilly temps here in the south. It will be perfect when our son comes home from college later today. Tonight we will get our real tree for the family room and decorate it. I know he has had a rough week with exams and is looking forward to being home. 

Grapevine presents are a new addition this year!

Last week I shared out front porch. It is perhaps my favorite look yet! You can see more of it HERE.

I frequently mix metals. You can really achieve an eclectic look by doing so. In this room and throughout our home, you will see that I mingle brass and aged silver pieces together. Most of my silver is either from my mom or the thrift store.

Our slim-line foyer tree is visible from the dining room. It's the only formal tree in our home. I have a collection of Lenox ornaments that my mother-in-law started for us many years ago. They are much safer here!

Drum roll please………It only took about 9 months, but I finally finished painting our kitchen. All the white cabinets used to be a sage green! I'll be doing a post on it the first of the year. I love the fresh, new look.

The last room on this tour is our family room. For the first time in 12 years, I have moved the angels from the mantel! You may notice that I have new slipcovers from Surefit. I absolutely love them.
