And today, I’m sharing two of them.
For better or for worse, I’ve been tweaking the vignette on my new sideboard..
and on the mantel, both of which I just showed you last week! Sadly, I’ll be tweaking all over the house until Christmas Eve!
It’s so hard for me to leave “well enough” alone. I always THINK it can be better. I usually decide that the tweaking didn’t make any difference and could have even made matters worse! It’s just another disease of mine (in addition to “collecting”, I tweak – all of the time, everywhere)! Hi, my name is Laurie, and I am a collector and a tweaker! Call in the psychiatrist(s)!
I’m linking this post to the Boring to Better event at Savvy Southern Style. Thanks Kim for telling us we could link Christmas décor without showing any “before” pictures.

Hi, my name is Delores, and I'm a collector and a tweaker too. haha. Laurie, your two trees are just gorgeous! It must have taken you days to finish them. They are wonderful. I wish I could see them in person and just look at all your ornaments. I know you have some fabulous ones.

ReplyDeleteLaurie -- your house is always amazing -- I love all your collections and little touches -- just tweak away -- if that makes you happy....and we'll sit back and watch with glee!
ReplyDeleteStunningly Gorgeous! How in the world do you decorate those huge trees and that mantel and sideboard. Oh my! Just keep sharing as you tweak away!
ReplyDeleteLaurie, your trees are a piece of art. Wow!!! Can't imagine how long it takes you to put all those gorgeous ornaments on the tree. I've enjoyed seeing your trees.

Your trees are stunning and make mine look kind of pathetic. I keep tweaking, too. It's a sickness.

Laurie, How do you do it all, girl? I am so far behind this year! LOL It all looks magnificent! The trees are gorgeous and full and the room is yummy comfy! I want to come visit.... Have fun "tweaking" as I struggle with the original "doing."
ReplyDelete♥ Sue
They are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI will repeat what Sue said - Don't know how you do it all. My vitamins must not be strong enough. :D
Laurie, your trees are just beautiful!!! Two trees flanking the fireplace... wow!! Can it get any better than that?
ReplyDeleteI've always enjoyed symmetry and your Christmas trees on either side of the fireplace are fabulous. Enjoy your big spaces! Beautifully decorated Laurie!!
ReplyDeleteLaurie-= My it looks so wonderfully Christmas y at your house! I remember your nativity from last years pictures and it is just lovely! I think one year I am going to decorate with only nativity sets-

ReplyDeleteLaurie,
ReplyDeleteYour trees are glorious, as is the whole room!
And tweaking, well, let's just say you're in plenty of good company! It's so much fun!
Your trees are so pretty, Laurie! I love all the lights and ornaments. Your family room looks so magical.....Christine
ReplyDeleteIt's all so beautiful Laurie!! Did you have any little elves to hellp you? Because sheesh girl that's a LOT of work! But so worth it! Vanna
ReplyDeleteI love those trees, makes such a grand statement! And your Nativity is Divine! Sorry I missed the party this weekend, but I'll be here Sat!
ReplyDeleteLAURIE!! Hey girl... your holiday decorating is spectacular. you've got a true talent in combing just the right elements to make a charming ambiance. I would like to find myself enjoying your setting while sipping on a cup of cocoa with (several) sweet treats of course:)
ReplyDeleteIt's good to be back, I hope you get a chance to stop by for a visit.
Sweet wishes,
Sara
You crack me up Laurie...but tweeking or not, it looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOMG I LOVE your double trees!!! They are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLaurie, thanks so much for sharing your beautiful Christmas trees and decor at the party. I just can't believe how pretty those two trees are. That had to be a lot of work, but so worth it.
ReplyDeleteOh, so pretty, thanks for sharing your beautifully decorated home.
ReplyDeleteYour decor is absolutely amazing! Love the two trees....Wow.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness your decorations are absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well.
Sending you hugs,
Laurie,
ReplyDeletePopped over to say hi and WOW, I love your beautiful decorations! The two tree idea is unique and looks great. The new sideboard works perfectly too.
Heather is home lounging on the sofa and I'm about to gather a few boxes from the basement and work on our tree.
It's been quiet the year, but it's all good! Take care.
Hugs, Cathy
I think we all have a habit of "tweaking!" Your room with the big trees looks so festive and pretty!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Hi Laurie! Oh, I love your Christmas trees! Two twin trees! Wow! And how pretty this room looks! I love it. You just go ahead and tweak away - you do everything right! :)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
shelia ;)
Laurie, you have tweaked this to perfection!! It is gorgeous!! The trees, the vignette! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am a tweaker too!
Lou Cinda
Hi Laurie, Oh my gosh I thought I was the only ONE! I see there are many among us! I not only do I constantly tweak my decorating and never seem to be satisfied with it but I do the same on my blog posts!!! Drives me insane!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how MUCH Christmas decorating you have already done! and it ALL looks so great!
I used to be able to accomplish SO much more when I was younger than I can now! How do you do it?!!! Wait a minute, I know... you must have some little elves stashed somewhere that help you, right?!!
Hugs, Sherri;)
Oh so beautiful. each tree is equally abundant! Maybe that's what I should do - if I had the space! I have many little trees throughout my house, but only one big one. Just glorious.
