~~~Letting the House Take a Deep Breath!!!~~~

Hello my friends! I have been VERY busy since returning from Fl. on Sat. night taking Christmas down.....finally!!! Joe didn't want me to do it before I left so I came home to all of it. Plus he hurt his backl so I have been carrying all the bins up the stairs and then back down after packing them. Let me tell you going up and down the steps about a bazillion times is GREAT exercise for your butt:):):) So, I wanted to share the morning room as that is where I start. The tree was in here so I am showing you how I put it away and then the morning room dressed down for Winter. Here is a good tip for you. I keep the very top section of the tree decorated and next year I just have to fluff the bows and the berries and sticks and it's good to go!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9IogYi9jN_OPPVvtf0vE-LMDPlYzLGkedd-6dPqTXMEG_Rfw4Ht-YgiKytWvRPQGHq1CD7ciLaksEsNCTuM2BHDLkyFriMH0qb5b5M9luy127NY8W-PO2xAAWYJIbsJmKqF1l5kUzo6I/s1600/IMG_1639.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9IogYi9jN_OPPVvtf0vE-LMDPlYzLGkedd-6dPqTXMEG_Rfw4Ht-YgiKytWvRPQGHq1CD7ciLaksEsNCTuM2BHDLkyFriMH0qb5b5M9luy127NY8W-PO2xAAWYJIbsJmKqF1l5kUzo6I/s1600/IMG_1639.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> I also fold the tree skirt and tulle and place it in the box too.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn1QFq2-yacM1Ku3OZFasgGvOxO2YBRlsSPtK7LG1wja1Rb2UQqc0sla3QI82EgzsRsRwBgnbd4bMR8wil_Ww0ZqYuun6C_03AAuL5nqJcVzHNfdoi3m6dIZ0SjP9eXQdjBcF_2L_wrK4/s1600/IMG_1641.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn1QFq2-yacM1Ku3OZFasgGvOxO2YBRlsSPtK7LG1wja1Rb2UQqc0sla3QI82EgzsRsRwBgnbd4bMR8wil_Ww0ZqYuun6C_03AAuL5nqJcVzHNfdoi3m6dIZ0SjP9eXQdjBcF_2L_wrK4/s1600/IMG_1641.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> There you go, all closed up and ready to store til next year!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Z9yRMEBdpnjJfVqmojnJOMOGJawWaq6qwDXNCjvn8MtGOgjgoQDqHO0aAQSc1pxVwu3hoAm7erL0abk1KuU1iIbozHfM2NzPT8r-VkGM9rHhHMPJfBCwGlL48fbzySciGolp8yN-Jjg/s1600/IMG_1640.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Z9yRMEBdpnjJfVqmojnJOMOGJawWaq6qwDXNCjvn8MtGOgjgoQDqHO0aAQSc1pxVwu3hoAm7erL0abk1KuU1iIbozHfM2NzPT8r-VkGM9rHhHMPJfBCwGlL48fbzySciGolp8yN-Jjg/s1600/IMG_1640.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> Now here are the "bare bones" of the room all cleaned and vacummed.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrlKygLgPoanteBbMCXNxJBN9ewwpNxyzKBP8UouD-xyNxTmbeBirZ5BsFRLds_wtrayfn5xJY4Vgj7wJVJ8bv5WCNUOVfa4qcgkka1WZGs44JulujgARK6FnraXwZuunzI1HhBTxT3GU/s1600/IMG_1642.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrlKygLgPoanteBbMCXNxJBN9ewwpNxyzKBP8UouD-xyNxTmbeBirZ5BsFRLds_wtrayfn5xJY4Vgj7wJVJ8bv5WCNUOVfa4qcgkka1WZGs44JulujgARK6FnraXwZuunzI1HhBTxT3GU/s1600/IMG_1642.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I have set a "Winter White" table with touches of greens that I will share tomorrow.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaYkLkL0hg7Sz2FL7rFYWsq-m5GzMPyZ0_e3pwctCey8c6XI9TS5xjo4rrNVx69avWrrm541T2qubgJk0VKPeNCJmUoG78On0_plZRBF2m6NKcteAxqfmHqjK2zPInVOksb0pBWM5p_qM/s1600/IMG_1643.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaYkLkL0hg7Sz2FL7rFYWsq-m5GzMPyZ0_e3pwctCey8c6XI9TS5xjo4rrNVx69avWrrm541T2qubgJk0VKPeNCJmUoG78On0_plZRBF2m6NKcteAxqfmHqjK2zPInVOksb0pBWM5p_qM/s1600/IMG_1643.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I have chosen to concentrate on a soothing green color palette for Winter.

~~~Feathering Our Nest, Morning Room Table~~~

Good Saturday afternoon. I don't know where the morning went!!! Yesterday I was having some friends over so I spent the night before and the moring yesterday SPIT SHINING the house. The kitchen and Morning room are now dressed in their finest Spring decor:):) I wanted to share some of that with you. Here we go: This is the fabulous faux terrarium that I found at TJMaxx a few months ago and had it filled with bunnies for Easter. Now that I am "feathering our nest", I have brought out the BIRDS, nests, pots, and birdhouses. The air plants that are perched on the top are from Robin of All Things Heart and Home blog. She is the SWEETEST, most generous friend!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Uw6aaNC-qpdvYcIShQf_YyzuLJ2s0zk8vXbXr1OsivMmi2qPv-keuS8jvMvgFTniQilMw1Wxsu0P3oGPnSwi6YCOQewVDU2E88X_-r93ajmDYo4yr8wmRbkzeGlQ8_Zs4j6kS8AwBVEQ/s1600/More+Wenda's+wreath+and+breakfast+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Uw6aaNC-qpdvYcIShQf_YyzuLJ2s0zk8vXbXr1OsivMmi2qPv-keuS8jvMvgFTniQilMw1Wxsu0P3oGPnSwi6YCOQewVDU2E88X_-r93ajmDYo4yr8wmRbkzeGlQ8_Zs4j6kS8AwBVEQ/s640/More+Wenda's+wreath+and+breakfast+001.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> I placed this birdhouse inside and on a little stand to bring it up some.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrZza5hN2gMrFsPu31PmTsxn8inV1LheawhaaCRBUhgIz1uYPJ6vYgfE0Is_otPafSPMhchwY8eOeY5mMHvdAqrM5LIdFR2LHGtgNJbqq1i8sxpbD74kxj3Th7Fw2usUFyOjpz-Q1Kl0xZ/s1600/More+Wenda's+wreath+and+breakfast+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrZza5hN2gMrFsPu31PmTsxn8inV1LheawhaaCRBUhgIz1uYPJ6vYgfE0Is_otPafSPMhchwY8eOeY5mMHvdAqrM5LIdFR2LHGtgNJbqq1i8sxpbD74kxj3Th7Fw2usUFyOjpz-Q1Kl0xZ/s640/More+Wenda's+wreath+and+breakfast+002.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> This large bird used to live on my windowsill at the other house.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2gSFodbg-CyM96zZwcpeq1-ErX4kvpAX8CNvG64k3dQjkeXYEXItUfsFxa52OpjqyRhHlUEaC5uh01asQHrPhRFZ-_qkYup5NSd84e-qOwGcZqX1ArXLpzY6Rwm9kc7MSNAfGrBUXxSJ2/s1600/More+Wenda's+wreath+and+breakfast+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2gSFodbg-CyM96zZwcpeq1-ErX4kvpAX8CNvG64k3dQjkeXYEXItUfsFxa52OpjqyRhHlUEaC5uh01asQHrPhRFZ-_qkYup5NSd84e-qOwGcZqX1ArXLpzY6Rwm9kc7MSNAfGrBUXxSJ2/s640/More+Wenda's+wreath+and+breakfast+003.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>  The whole terrarium is lined with some moss for now.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE1C_esDRmvtt5lQQw3X0M7tUW9lA3DeqRuE_8KV-dWHB54gR79TEYZqk6JOrXOMnJnKMBSdqBjd-KSJgGgOpZ10814gWMxuVoWXinwBOY1OrfAKY6hZkSV3bXPHvCoeJcM4ld86faw5Ot/s1600/More+Wenda's+wreath+and+breakfast+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE1C_esDRmvtt5lQQw3X0M7tUW9lA3DeqRuE_8KV-dWHB54gR79TEYZqk6JOrXOMnJnKMBSdqBjd-KSJgGgOpZ10814gWMxuVoWXinwBOY1OrfAKY6hZkSV3bXPHvCoeJcM4ld86faw5Ot/s640/More+Wenda's+wreath+and+breakfast+005.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I love the 2 topiaries, and on each side of them are these cute wire cages that I found last year.
