Wednesday was out decorating day for Christmas. We religeously decorate our house the week leading up to Christmas, thereby waiting until the last possible minute to dig into the attic to find the stockings and wreath.
We have quite the Art-Deco kitchen. Kind of.
It's actually more of an 80's Swedish design, you know, with the gas stove, wooden cupboard doors with no handles and the lighting (white metal shades suspended from the ceiling in daisy-chain fashion) has all it's electrical work exposed. This last bit with the electrical wiring exposed sometimes makes it look like we have a cathedral ceiling, or a regular ceiling in which we lost the drywall. However you look at it.
Anyways, back to decorating. My mother has an extensive collection of snowflakes, which she has gathered together and hung all together on the exposed wiring.
It looks cool, if you're short, like me. If you are tall, and walk into the kitchen, you might get a filigree snowflake caught in your hair.
Other than our 3' high Christmas tree, that is it for decorating. Because we live in such a small house, there is nowhere to out a tree. There used to be, but not anymore. Where we used to put our 7' tree is a bookcase and 5 guitars. But we're OK with it, because we now have a 3' high tree on top of our TV! I mean, why use up valuable space with a prickly houseguest that will just shed and die after a while? I thought so too.
Have a very (pick your favourite):
