Back to the Open House–Just wait till you see her beautiful home, where Shirley adds her classically elegant style to her holiday decor. We couldn’t leave you all with more holiday inspiration than you will find here. Take it away, Shirley!

*****

Happy Holidays everyone!

My name is Shirley with Housepitality Designs.

I so love the holidays and the joys of Christmas.

I am so happy to be here with the ladies of 11 Magnolia Lane.

Oh how I wish that I lived on a beautiful street name such as “Magnolia Lane”

Today I present a little tour of my first floor ~ ~ decorated for the Holidays!

I usually start in the Great Room, however, this year I started with the easiest room to do ~ ~

~ ~ the Master Bedroom

Christmas 2013 Master Bedroom

I purchased the bedding last year at Pottery Barn (Winter Birds) ~

I don’t usually change my bedding for the holidays ~ ~ just add a decorative pillow here and there ~

~ ~ however, I could not resist this bedding.

We leave the Great Room and now we move into the kitchen ~ ~

Note: I have not done as much this year due to time constraints and “energy”!!

Christmas 2013 Kitchen

My “take out chefs” tree . .

~ ~ did a bit of a change to this tree this year by changing the container.

Bought the container from Marian (Miss Mustard Seed) from the Lucketts Antique show.

    Shirley always does a beautiful job decorating her home for all seasons. But for Christmas, I swear she has to have elves come over to help. There is no table top missed! Lovely as always.
