This is a "Best of the Best" Tour

Hi everyone.  I sure hope you are all surviving the chaos, albeit magic, of Christmas.  I know some of you are having some extremely cold and/or wet weather, so I won't even tell you that we've been complaining about the 80+ degree weather we've been having.  Oops, sorry!  Anyway, I'm just about "tweaked out" on holiday decor, but thought it would be fun to do a collection of my favorites from around our home.  Some you may have seen, but others are new to the blog.  I'm not going to do much dialogue, just lots of photos.  I will be linking to the following sites:  All Things Merry & Bright ,  Tablescape Thursday, The Shabby Chic Cottage, No Minimalist Here ,  Boring to Better Party, The DIY Show Off , Deck the Halls Friday,  Favorite Things Saturday, Funky Junk Interiors,  Vanessa's Inspiration Friday, Metamorphosis Monday & Cottage and Vine.  Hope you enjoy the tour.

My small collection of crystal & faux mercury glass.

                             

This is a fun little wallhanging that I put together a couple of weeks ago.

If you look out the window you can see one of our 2 pink grapefruit trees.  We have tangelos & a couple of different oranges & lemons.  Everything is just loaded with fruit this year.

We need lots of this!

Abby likes to walk around on top of the packages.  She thinks it's her duty to make this part of her house patrol route.

I just bought these sweet little bird salt and pepper shakers at Pier 1.  You will be seeing more of these little cuties in vignettes in the future.

This beauty was a gift from a dear friend.  She said she got it at Sam's Club which means Costco probably has them, too.

I took this photo as part of a photo challenge which was to photograph a reflection.  As you might guess, the reflection is me taking the picture -- that would be lots & lots of me!

We've been doing some cosmetic remodeling on both of our bathrooms.  My earlier post today has before and afters.  First up is our guest bath which is very small, but we are pretty happy with our redo.  I have my new favorite Bath & Body Works soap, Vanilla Bean Noel & the matching hand cream sitting right there ready to use.  Yummy!

Have had these cute little hand towels for a couple of years.

This is our master bath after the cosmetic upgrade.  I really want to keep the look very simple in here because it is a very small room.

I hope you haven't fallen asleep looking at all these photos.  The last couple of days I've finally caught up on everything and had a chance to just walk around and enjoy my own surroundings.  I just wanted to share it with you.  Hope you enjoyed your stroll through my Christmas house and please come back real soon.
