I know I'm not the first one to say this, but this year seems to have flown by at warp speed.

Country Christmas porch

I like for my home to reflect where it is and the culture around it, so naturally, we have a country Christmas porch here in the North Carolina mountains.

Christmas music room

The music "room" in our home also serves as the front entry. It used to be the dining area, but because it got high traffic, I ended up putting the piano there and moving the dining area to the living area, which was long enough to accommodate it. It has worked much better this way, and I enjoy having the piano in a more open spot.

Christmas Living and a quirky tree

Thanks so much for the comments you all have left:-) They really make my day and confirm that we can make do with what we have, and still have something pretty, which is what this blog is all about. 
Today, I'm sharing the living area and my quirky tree...

Christmas Dining

Things are a little more subdued in my dining area as opposed to the merry and bright kitchen I showed you yesterday:-)

Merry Christmas farmhouse Kitchen

I don't know what it is this year, but it sure seems Christmas is creeping up -- at warp speed, so I need to share my Christmas posts before it's too late! 
Our kitchen definitely has a different look this Christmas thanks to the fabric I used for curtains and the sink skirt. It's merry, bright, kid friendly and we are loving it:-)

Vintage Christmas bedroom

Since I started my Christmas decor with the bedroom mantel earlier this week, I thought I would go ahead and show you the rest of the master bedroom.

DIY Countertop Board at Hometalk

I know most of us are in the midst of Christmas decorating, but I had the opportunity to curate a board over at Hometalk with DIY budget countertop ideas, so I wanted to share it with you all here.

There are some really great options for DIY countertops, including my own wormy chestnut countertops, so click HERE to see the board.

Cottage Christmas Mantel and a blog hop

I am excited to be participating in my first ever blog hop hosted by Pamela over at From My Front Porch to Yours.  I'm even more excited because this is a mantel party and I finally get to come out and play:-)
