Blog: In search of treasure and redemption: Inaugural Lecture at the University of Birmingham by Professor John Dyson

This is a great craft for kids!.

I was not paid to write this post, however KraftMaid did provide the cabinetry for the bathroom vanity that appears in this post.All thoughts and opinions are 100% mine as always!It’s home tour time!.

I’m so excited to be participating in the Canadian Bloggers’ Home Tour once again this Christmas.If you’re new around these parts, I hope you enjoy your visit!If you’re a long-time reader, well I hope you enjoy your visit too!.

I had a little bit more time to make some holiday festiveness happen around the house this year, so I’m really happy with the little touches I’ve added, although everything was totally easy-peasy as always!.I’ll keep the chit-chat to a minimum so you can just enjoy the ambiance.

🙂 Let’s get started!.

Our living room is where we do most of our living these days, so everything needs to be pretty simple in here and mostly toddler-proof.In the dining room, I just used some more baby pumpkins and some fake fall botanicals out of my bins in the basement, and suddenly the whole room was seasonally-appropriate!.

I’m pretty sure this whole room was fixed up on one 5-minute decorating break on one day.. See the way these catch the light and actually look better with sun shining through them?That’s how you know they’re the good ones!

The really cheap ones always seem to look terrible if you look at them up close.I like to grab a few branches of these good fake branches at the end of the season when they’re 90% off at the craft stores and just stick them in my basement bins for the next year.
