Minimalist Decorating

If you have been watching the weather reports for Seattle you might think we have been swept away by all the rain. However, our little area was spared the brunt of that storm because of the way it came in from the south. So I even had a day dry enough on Tuesday to get out and finish some decorating. Luminaries line the walk and a few outdoor trees were added. And then note below the new door mat. I like all the little touches, and you can't even see it from the road because of the way our front yard is planted. Like several guests have said in the last week, "Looks like you're not competing for the neighborhood award!"


Now, the joys of living in Washington is displayed below. As I sat by the front window this morning I noticed that our front bushes are blooming! What a treat in December. And no, the snow did not stay on last Saturday. It melted and was followed by a lot of rain, though not as much as other areas.

Do you use real candles in the luminaries or are they glow sticks?

I definately like the minimalistic decorating best. I love that you only used white lights too, and not all those colorful things. Hi Sharon! Congratulations on the new grandson! This will be a much easier way to stay in touch. Did you know that Kelli Van Dyke has a blog spot too? She is in Belgium this year for school.
