Well, I got my red checked tablecloth out--it just makes me happy---something about red gingham makes me feel homey and smiley

The above ornament is a new one from Pottery Barn--I want to start collecting birds for the tree. I love birds and watch them from one of my windows here, as I always have lol

above is a bad shot of the tree--got the strands lopsided! ah well. Oh yes, and we did get rid of the big old low hanging light in the dining area so now I can move that table and resize it without the leafs any ole time.

And of course a fire is going since the weather has now turned cool (lol---this is a fake tv version---still gives a nice feeling. Some days you have to just take time to play a bit!

My mini monkeys are quite happy under the tree too!

  3. Red gingham so cozy...am I remembering a blue theme in the dining soon after you moved in here?
    Well, I like the red-- the check and the toile.

    Nice fireplace. Is that really a TV/video version. I've seen those at dept. stores in the electronics department.
    Yours looked real..I'd have never known if you hadn't said.

    The PB bird is cute. I think birds on the tree would be so pretty...

    enjoy the weekend. Pat

  4. Hi darling, I adore red and white, it's just so cheerful. Your tree is wonderful. I'm deathly afraid of birds, however, I have a Pheasant tree in the dining room, this is the 4 year for it, I still love it.. lol I'm not sure if you saw it or not, I believe it was the post before the kitchen. hugs ~lynne~

  5. I love your red and white gingham tablecloth. I have a set, including serviettes, I have never used, maybe I will get them out and use on Christmas Day - if it fits the table.
    Your tree is lovely.
    Keep warm.
    Blessings,

  11. Your home is looking fantastic, Kim! All ready for Christmas. How lovely. Can't wait to start with my decorating at home. Will be arriving there on Saturday... better late than never!

    Oh, and I love that painting in your dining room. I wonder whether your son painted that too. It's beautiful.
