Christmas Tree and Staircase

I wanted to share my Christmas tree and staircase in my front entry today. 

One of my favorite new things this year is the Let It Snow pillow I bought from Pottery Barn.

My original plan was to do a copy cat project for this pillow.  However, when I went to buy buttons, I found out that it would cost almost as much to make this pillow as it was to buy it from Pottery Barn.   So when I saw that the pillow had gone on sale, I grabbed it.  Who knew buttons were so expensive?

I added a plaid wool throw onto the back of the chair, also from Pottery Barn.  It really gives that cozy, warm winter feeling to the entry.

The garland on the railing has white lights strung throughout.

Intertwined are roses and berries and ribbon.

I have bows throughout as well.  These bows I made.  You can check out how easy it is to make a bow here.  

Finally our Christmas tree.  It stands almost ten feet in our great room.

The tree is wrapped in ribbons and bows as well and is filled with ornaments which we have been collecting for years.  Each year when we vacation, we always pick up an ornament.  

Have a great weekend.
