A Merry Little Christmas

December 28, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I was determined to have a stress-free Christmas this year and I actually pulled it off! I lost about a month of prep time due to the asthma-attack-from-hell so I just scaled back my expectations. So what if the tree wasn’t decorated until two days before Christmas. It’s still beautiful: I didn’t put out every…

Just not ready…

January 9, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I decided that I’m just not quite ready to un-decorate my house. I said this to David last night and he said, “It’s our house; we can do what we want.”  So I decided that at least for now I’m not taking down the tree. Instead, I’m going to decorate it for Mardi Gras. I’ll…

Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 11 “Green”

December 12, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Red and green are the traditional Christmas colors and I’m pretty traditional when it comes to Christmas. I do, however, use more of a burgundy rather than bright red, in part because I have burgundy velvet drapes in the family room. And we have dark green carpet so the room is well-suited for Christmas.  I…

Autumn to Christmas

November 30, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

I’m in the process of turning my home into a cozy nest of Christmas-y cheer. Christmas is the bright spot in a season I could otherwise do without and I love to “deck the halls”. Here are some before and after pics of what I’ve been working on: This table is just inside our entry…
