All of the pictures here are from Karen’s blog, Quilts…etc.
Most of the decorations are up. I assembled the tree – an easy four piece affair, including the stand – and added the lights. Karen did the rest while I was outside putting up the exterior Christmas lights.The packages around the bottom are decoration, empty boxes that my mother-in-law saved. After she passed, they came home with us.

Putting up Christmas lights, 66°F air temperature before a cold front the next day!

A Christmas wreath that had belonged to my mother-in-law – now hanging on the door to the sewing room.

Our “new” dining room decorated for Christmas.
Best wishes for the holidays and the season, wherever you are!

Hi Karen and Mike – those look very homey and I love the ‘new’ dining room … delightful – happy seasonal tides and all the best for 2018 – cheers Hilary
Thanks. The “new” isn’t so new any more. I think I finished building it nearly 3 years ago, but after not having a separate dining room in the 36 years we’ve been in this house, it’s relatively “new.”
I love all the tongue and groove – nicer than bare paint or wallpaper.
A Happy New Year to you!
Thanks, Nick. We obviously like it, too, as we keep doing more and more of it.
Best wishes for 2018 and beyond!
