The cloches I won at an auction back in September came to be very handy with displaying the bulbs. I decided to color coordinate them in each container. The very large on in the middle was pretty tricky to fill. I had to slide a book underneath when putting it on the coffee table. The one on the right with all the pastel colors is my favorite!
I wanted to do something different in my large window box, and couldn't really think of anything too exciting. When I was putting these fresh Christmas greens in them, I stuck a couple of strands of lights and put these old ice skating skates and a big plaid bow. I wasn't really the look I was going for but I'm liking how it turned out.
One of my absolutely favorite things about Christmas is the smell of cedar, pine, noble, any of the Christmas greens!
Here is the front of the house, I made up some red velvet bows for the posts. I am thinking next year of changing over to burgundy.
I used some of my lace trees around the house for decorating. The white tree on top was another Home Goods find, the same day I got the plates.
I also addded some glittery leaf picks here and there to give the hutch some glamour.
I wasn't sure what to do with the counter, so I used a holiday placemat and added some leaf stems and more glittery ornaments. 
I went over my parents to visit on Friday and my Mom had most of her holiday decorating done. I always love seeing how she decorates the house. Seeing things from my childhood and seeing new items she has put together.
I absolutely loved how she decorated her hutch this year. Leaving the blue mixed in with the red and green looks really great I think!
Stay tuned for photos of my decorating coming up in the next couple of days! :)
