My Front Entry Christmas Vignette

We got the tree up on Sunday and then the rest of the week I’ve been scrambling to get some other spaces looking festive.  I don’t think I have enough rooms looking Christmassy yet but here is my wreath for the front door.

Colour me Happy Blog 1055 This wreath is NOT do-it-yourself :) It was purchased at a big box store I’ve frequently mentioned on this blog for $25. I had it on our front door last year (which was white) so now I’m really glad it’s white (instead of red and green) because now it works on the orange door as well.

Colour me Happy Blog 1049This is my front entry, and my new Ralph Lauren (knock-off) lampshade.  This (below) is what the shade looked like in the summer when I photographed it:

The new lampshade makes such a difference doesn’t it?  I had it custom made and it was worth every penny. I have bought new lampshades for many old lamps for my clients and given them a brand new life.  If you have an old lampshade on a treasured lamp, get a new one, you will love it even more I promise!

For Christmas I thought I’d keep the vignette simple.  I found this angel and ornament to go with it at Pier 1 two years ago. And I always love the scent of paper whites!

I’m linking up to Rhoda’s Vignette party over at Southern Hospitality. I’ve decided that it’s high time I get into the Christmas spirit on this blog :) I’m off to Seattle for the weekend tomorrow with my sister and mom, can’t wait!
