More Magic {Part Two- Kitchen, Office and Bath}

This is Part Two of the Christmas Magic at our house.

If you missed part one; find it here.

I leave you with the magic and several, or really if I’m honest; TOO many pics.

ENJOY!!

This is our half bath just off our kitchen.  It was fun to add some cheer to this room by switching out the prints in this frame.  If your looking for chalkboard Christmas prints you can find the ones I use by going to my Pinterest board here.

This is our Office.  This small white tree sits on a round table so it can peak out our front window.

I kept the decorations simple on the tree.  I’m really into the vintage looking bead type garland.  It’s so fun.

Thanks for sharing in our magic.

Magic is in the details {part one- the great room}

One of my favorite parts of the holidays is decorating for it.

I love it so much that sometimes you can find me rearranging what I’ve already decorated.

Nothing is safe; it may be moved during any part of the holidays, and even when it’s not the holidays.

I am not a professional decorator.  I am just obsessed with details, and adore the challenge of putting things together.  I think that’s why I enjoy moving things around.  Every time I move or change something, I learn more about what I love, and what looks good together.  That is how we self teach; we try new things.

…and I am completely self taught. 

I think I enjoy decorating for the holidays so much because of the lights, glitter, and colors.

Decorating for the holidays is turning your simple house in to a beautiful magical home.  That’s how I feel when I’m in a home that’s decorated for the holidays; I can always feel the magic.

The magic of it is that no 2 trees are the same.  The vast variety of the ornaments, shape of the tree, and color of the lights, can describe the vast differences in each of us.  I love seeing how each tree represents others and their homes so differently.

See… magic.  The way a tree can describe one’s heart.

I believe in the magic of Christmas, and the holiday decor is part of that.

I recently bought a Home decorating magazine at the store.  I bought it because one of my favorite designer’s homes was featured in the magazine.  As I turned over every page, I felt my heart go swoon.  I could even feel the magic leap from the pages, and then my heart sank.  The pictures stopped.  I was left wanting more.  I wanted every single detail.  Remember! Details are important to me.

Then I had a moment of self-discovery.  I realized that is why I always over-share here. 

I share way. too. many. pictures.

I want to leave you feeling satisfied. 

I want to share the details that are important to me, and..

I want you to feel like you got a true glimpse of what it is I’m trying to share.

I have truly tried to be one of those bloggers that just shares a few words, and one picture.

I honestly must tell you that is just not me. Sorry, I tried.

The secret is, the true me is; too many words, and way to many pictures.

So… the details of Christmas…

…and the magic, the lights, and the glitter.

And because I knew I couldn’t share all the magic in one post…

..this is magic {part one- the great room.}

{in this picture, your getting all the details-including the dust… sorry I could dust every day.  This is the real Swenson home.  That one that is not magazine worthy.}

Have a magical day!
