Before....

Well I was trying to find before photos of the living room to use for this.

Did find a couple. This first one is really before; as there are some old decor items in here I have since sold, this was right after we put in our new carpet and before I had my china hutch in the corner, before the new drapes and so on.

(Click on any photo to enlarge)

And evening shot before the Christmas decor and tree went up.

The space is made for the tree.

After ......the Christmas touch in the living room,

trying to get you a whole room view here.

I was in a simpler mood this year. So I used these bows

and all my Burgundy red and olive green ornaments, my antique Christmas post card collection and a few other things to decorate the living room tree this year.

I am still working on the photography to get it captured just right.

I am not a pro at that, so that is my best excuse.
