My Christmas Den

Look what got done this weekend. The floor decor is no longer floor decor. David, my wonder boyfriend, came over and helped Saturday and my favorite sister, LucyJane, came over Sunday. Between all of us, decorations found homes and boxes found their way back to the garage. Whew!

Are you aware that you can click on any picture and it will "go big"?
Looking at the big picture, I think I'll remove the mirror from the back/bottom right shelf. It seems distracting.

Did you see the maternity mannequin, top left? I put a blingy necklace on her. LucyJane thought I should drape her like Mary, great with child, for the season. Isn't she funny?

The black and white photo of the lady is my great grandmother. Resting on top of the opened books is a pair of glasses. The glasses are the same ones she is wearing in the picture. Cool, huh? The shoes on the middle shelf are David's mom's. I bet she had no clue I'd use her shoes in a display! Aren't they great?
Here's a big picture of the den without floor decor. Here's the corner of my office. This Christmas tree has small vintage balls all over it that David placed. Notice, hooks would have had the balls hanging too low, so, he removed the wire from each ornament and then, after placing the wire over the tree "branch", he replaced it. Follow? A lot of work. He loves me!

The wreath bears my grandmother's old broaches and earrings. She did like her bling! Ooops! I needed to move the extension cord in this next picture! Oh, well. A little vignette I set up behind my sofa. I'm not sure that my work here is done. But, the idea has started. I'll post more pics as things evolve. But, I think the den may be finished. Whew! Whatcha think?
