Hello Everyone!
How have you been? It seems the weeks are flying by for sure.
This always seems to happen around the holidays doesn't it? Whew!
This is the last Christmas for us in this home and I'm decorating light.
Join me for a tour!
Joy! I love this word. I found this sign at Tar-jay.
I added it to the powder room sink area.
Noel is on the other side. I'm really liking the lime color and plan to add more.
I hung a Santa tassle on the lamp and called it a day.
Easy peasy. You have to love that at this time of year.
I added my favorite Joy and Noel ribbon frames to the buffet table.
I hung my Joy to the World tassle and added the wooden red birds.
Done, and done...:)
They are handmade by Kristen. She is super talented.
Here is a close up of the tassle made by her as well. She is a wizard with ribbons.
The guest room joined in the festivities with a plaid throw and snowflake pillow.
I found them at Target during the last Christmas season.
The final touch is an M ornament hung on the lamp.
Simple but festive. How about you? How's your decorating going?
Stay tuned for my tree tour but first I have a Kirklands giveaway for you.
Have a wonderful week!

So pretty and I'm in love with that snowflake pillow.
Simple is best! Love it all. I really enjoy you letting us into your home with all the pictures. I love your decorating style!
Hi Melissa...
Ahhh...your home always looks sooo beautiful, dear friend...but it's especially pretty all dressed up for Christmas! I love your "JOY" and "NOEL" signs that you used in the bath! I'm using a bit of that same color of green in my Christmas dining room this year. It just looks so fresh...bright and cheery! Ohhh...and I love, love, LOVE your snowflake pillow and pretty red and white checked throw! And...I love the sweet Christmas cardinals too! You have so many beautiful things, dear friend! Thank you for sharing them with us! It's always a treat!
Wow...bet it is exciting...thinking about Christmas in a new home next year! I have butterflies just thinking about it...and it's not even me! Hehe!
Well sweet friend, I hope that my note is finding ya'll doing well! Just in case I don't get back by before Christmas...wishing you and your family a very blessed Christmas!
Love ya,
Chari
PS...I am going to get to spend Christmas with my girls and grands in Texas this year! I'm sooo anxious to see them!
It's all so pretty, Melissa! I thought I recognized Kristen's hand in the tassels and frame!
Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas at your house. I see you are using Christmas words this year also. Don't you just love them!! Yours are so colorful and festive!! Joy!! Says it all this time of year, that is for sure, xo Kathysue
Melissa, I love all the Tar-jay finds...the little signs and the pillow and throw are so pretty. That has become my new favorite place to shop...you can always find something unique and reasonably priced. The bows are beautiful! I love the gold wall color in your guest room...its a great back drop color--everything looks good against it. The wooden birds are beautiful! You have such a good "eye" for decorating. But, something was missing....Mr. Chestnut! I miss not seeing him in your pictures! ;)
Aw, thanks Rosie! Mr Chestnut is doing fine. I was just thinking I should dress him up in his Santa hat or reindeer ears and take photos.
Hello Melissa!! very pretty. I must say you sure know how to decorate. I wish you lived closer so I could have you help me with my home. I am just starting to decorate. We are renting at the moment but are tryint to buy this house. I love it so much. I have already started to buy things for it.
Very pretty, Melissa! Glad to see you decorating again! :)
Hi Melissa. It's so good to see you posting and decorating again. It must be bittersweet knowing it is the last Christmas in this house, but looking ahead to exciting times with the move and a new home.
I love the little words. Very pretty. I bought a "NOEL" today at Michael's.
I am looking forward to seeing your tree. I just know it will be pretty.
Lovely decorating! So pretty and festive.
Everything looks so beautiful, Melissa. I can't wait to see the tree. xo
Everything looks so festive and lovely, Melissa! I love the tassels and bows...such a pretty way to add some holiday color!
Happy Holidays!
XO,
Jane
Looks beautiful Melissa. I just ordered another frame from Kristen as well, can't wait to get it! I have that same red check throw from Tarjay too, love it. :)
I'm decorating light this year too. We'll be in Texas this Christmas.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas, enjoy your last Christmas in your home.
Beautiful! I saw the Joy and Noel signs at Tar-jay, but couldn't think where to use them. I love your ideas! Thanks for the inspiration!
Lots of JOY!! Very, very festive. blessings ~ Tanna
Melissa, everything looks so pretty! I've been missing you!! My frame from Kristen, just arrived today! I love what you have done with all of your frames and tassels. Your home is gorgeous! More! More!
Hi Melissa! I've missed you! Oh, how lovely everything is. I love that cute little tassel! I know what you mean about the time just speeding away!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I remember your red and white check throw on the bench at the bottom of your bed from last year. I did go over to our store here, but they were old out. I love checks and polka dots.
Your home is always looking great. Wish I had your motivation.
I am blogging still, but privately, as I am posting the family activities. I am hesitant to show their pictures
and daily activities as that is for them to do.
Hoping you had a lovely Thanksgiving !!
Connie :-)
Hi Melissa, everything is so festive and beautiful. I love the plaid throw..hugs ~lynne~
~*Happy Holidays*~
YAY, a post from my all-time favorite blogger, what a treat! =) The signs you got from Target are so cute and of course I love all your pretty and festive tassels. Your guest room is A D O R A B L E!! Love the colors in that room and your plaid throw and snowflake pillow are perfect for the season.
Can't wait to see more...
XOXO ~Liz
Very pretty, Melissa!!
Love the Joy....Have that same one in red....Everything looks beautiful
Very pretty!
I've finished my decorating and now I'm enjoying it all.
Hugs,

I'm keeping things more toned downt his year, too...never know when we might have to move! Everything looks absolutely GORGEOUS, as always!
Your home is warm and inviting! What a lovely guest room you have created! and I just love all the Kristen's Creations :D
Melissa, so pretty and inviting! Your home looks so beautiful! I love the pillow in your guest room!
So pretty Melissa! Your guest room is beautiful. I love how you have spruced it up for Christmas too. It's very thoughtful and inviting!
Melissa, everything looks beautiful as usual. Your home always looks wonderful in photos because everything is so clean and shining--that really shows through! And then the decorations are the icing on the cake. Well, those darling tassels might be more than just icing--I think those are the cherries on top! :)
Your house is looking mighty pretty for the holidays! I like the touches you added to your guestroom too. I'm sure your guests will appreciate the extra thought.
Everything looks absolutely beautiful Melissa!
Very pretty! I love my tree this year although I continue to add a few ornaments when I find something I LOVE. It's very simple around here this year...seems to be a lot of simplicity in blogland this season and I like it. It's difficult for me to see a ton of money spent when the economy is like it is. Of course, it's none of my business what people spend either. :-) I always think that it could all come to an end for them in short order due to layoffs, companies closing, etc. Enough of that!
Kristen always does a super job doesn't she? I'm loving the lime green in all kinds of ways!

I love all of your decor! It's gorgeous! I finished mine the weekend after Thanksgiving. I like to get it up quick so I can enjoy it longer. I can't beleive Christmas is only 2 weeks away! Time flies.
Really pretty touches. The checked throw is wonderful. I love when you find great stuff like that for a decent price. Enjoy the weekend!
Melissa everything looks so beautiful. I kept the decorating to a minimum this year. ( see my post tomorrow). Your home is beautiful. I love that you add some holiday cheer to your guest room too. xo
Melissa, I love your paired down Christmas decor. That is my theme this year too. I have to go check out Kristen's blog and see her tassles. Have a great weekend!
I just love that pillow and checked blanket! Your home looks so festive and ready for the holidays! Have a wonderful weekend!

How Beautiful. love the snowflake pillow.
I signed up for Kirklands. Yes, I do love that store for sure. We have one here in College Station, TX. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
I love Kirklands just don't get over there as much as I would like, which is probably good for my husbands wallet! LOL I could do some damage with a gift certificate! Love, love the items you highlighted.
Very pretty decor! Merry Christmas!
cute little touches everywhere! Merry Christmas!
Melissa, everything looks great! I love your guest room. The chocolate brown and splashes of red are just yummy!
