We felt it deserved a little Christmas cheer. The green fits in naturally and provides an inexpensive centerpiece with the addition of a little greenery and a silver Noel sign.</div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL23KtDdZpfedoCFNT64bOEjtVOtLJreet9P3lCJzdptZ0bC9go4Ra8WNcoLfMdSt3uTO-WWNvk55NMdgqHc08yXA327w4bNu2bZfwv6vhVfCVahQEr6OCEEYJLuogHH4npgpdxrEtWf8/s1600/IMG_1670.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL23KtDdZpfedoCFNT64bOEjtVOtLJreet9P3lCJzdptZ0bC9go4Ra8WNcoLfMdSt3uTO-WWNvk55NMdgqHc08yXA327w4bNu2bZfwv6vhVfCVahQEr6OCEEYJLuogHH4npgpdxrEtWf8/s640/IMG_1670.JPG" width="508" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In Ashley's entry we were met with a large blank wall. We rounded up photo frames that Ashley already owned and arranged them to fill the wall. She quickly chose family photos and had them printed in black and white. Now, everytime she enters her front door or comes down her stairs, her wall says "Family" and makes her smile.</div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMQNiZsdUogzDy4nyFebJu2hyphenhyphenc0sfVOAhyphenhyphen9IzUuXVJf8xuXWrzEJ0yKVsLeHx1HlA6cmt2JfARur1YOajI1b7l2JN_1FmbtVWvSbR_b0kzN0fr9IHJCeOeYvl4u2pBrHfs9ie7gdsqAtA/s1600/IMG_1671.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="484" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMQNiZsdUogzDy4nyFebJu2hyphenhyphenc0sfVOAhyphenhyphen9IzUuXVJf8xuXWrzEJ0yKVsLeHx1HlA6cmt2JfARur1YOajI1b7l2JN_1FmbtVWvSbR_b0kzN0fr9IHJCeOeYvl4u2pBrHfs9ie7gdsqAtA/s640/IMG_1671.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> We were confronted with another blank wall over the fireplace, but found an unused mirror in Ashley's garage. We hung it horizontally, added greens, berries and ribbon and completed the mantel with a purchased garland, lights and silvered glass votives. </div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdV6CstR1HaGwnNZnCtscF4JE3uPU0riCyZUBlH_MAcwF-EK1pfOMQHJxVmmcHrL3ZQRLaGf3ec5zVYS59D_hdGEK0ff0FTzHQ9ez5IWyoZF4vS5yYZkbSZhyxR7MjNIfwyxOjhUxz2_U/s1600/IMG_1672.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdV6CstR1HaGwnNZnCtscF4JE3uPU0riCyZUBlH_MAcwF-EK1pfOMQHJxVmmcHrL3ZQRLaGf3ec5zVYS59D_hdGEK0ff0FTzHQ9ez5IWyoZF4vS5yYZkbSZhyxR7MjNIfwyxOjhUxz2_U/s640/IMG_1672.JPG" width="489" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">   Thanks to Ashley and her family for allowing us to tour her home!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">HOUSE #2 - Ginger </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;">Ginger is a busy mom of 5. She wanted a new look for her Christmas decor this year. We purchased new ornaments, garland and picks and put some of the decorations she already had to work. I actually did a little redesign as well - moving her furniture around in both the living and family room areas. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUeCvQkEXl1_t17oRXsD96Wn9FjdX-9rdDbmBU3U_7l_fzldk_tUWeHebnRDtQVsVYE2NZlC83-DdVlopxVWng9BxMykpUu1WaDTOwAQci6MLPIlhsH9F7oQSEu9RE6INhFwv37NZ_w6s/s1600/IMG_1674.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUeCvQkEXl1_t17oRXsD96Wn9FjdX-9rdDbmBU3U_7l_fzldk_tUWeHebnRDtQVsVYE2NZlC83-DdVlopxVWng9BxMykpUu1WaDTOwAQci6MLPIlhsH9F7oQSEu9RE6INhFwv37NZ_w6s/s640/IMG_1674.JPG" width="479" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Starting at her front door, with a big Christmas welcome, we added pillows to two mid century metal lawn chairs. (We found adorable red placemats and Ginger made them into pillows.) Topiaried Christmas trees were decorated with lights, ribbon and handmade wire star ornaments. A natural green wreath was topped with a wreath of shiny red berries to complete the porch area. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Doesn't it look welcoming?</div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfCL_hSJWzEPDkIdT8j9izoMxSNweNf11tEgdmlcv15ELS94EfBLn3SO4fssyV-1DXZH-NRfb5obun2FwtDy6Yo5d7kbs9kK7IEOyk5FY_3pbDsrS73sPERVrrsgEZhee2mJBwCE0rs9o/s1600/IMG_1675.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfCL_hSJWzEPDkIdT8j9izoMxSNweNf11tEgdmlcv15ELS94EfBLn3SO4fssyV-1DXZH-NRfb5obun2FwtDy6Yo5d7kbs9kK7IEOyk5FY_3pbDsrS73sPERVrrsgEZhee2mJBwCE0rs9o/s640/IMG_1675.JPG" width="453" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Her formal living room was the perfect spot for the Christmas tree.
