Holiday Housewalk 2012

2012 home tour packed full of vintage Christmas decorations and plenty of aqua. Come on in and make yourself at home during my Christmas home tour.

The wait is finally over, my friends, it’s finally time for my turn on the Holiday Housewalk with Jennifer Rizzo. I’m so, so excited! Not only is it a huge honor to be included with such amazing bloggers, I’m just tickled pink that my living room is finished.

Yesterday the housewalk left off with Sadie Olive, and I’m hoping I can take the baton and do it proud. Without further ado… here we go…..

I have plenty to gab about, but today I just wanted to be quiet and share. I’ll spill more about my new space next week, pinky promise.

If you’re new here, I’d love for you to look around! 
You might want to start at my Project Gallery.

I hope you enjoyed the tour! Make sure you stop by the next house, where you’ll be amazed.

    Oh, Gina!
    It’s so cozy!
    Lots of changes since I was there. Like the creation of a foyer and the addition of some awesome chairs. I love the wainscoting that Mr. SCC added! The room is huge now that the creation station armoire is gone. The front door color is fantastic, too.
    I’ll bet you love sitting in here watching the tree lights!
    I would! It’s just lovely!
