(Thank you so much for the sweet comments. That deer was quite possibly the best spent $6. Local KC friends, I picked it up this past weekend at a west bottoms first weekend vintage mart event -- have you been there yet?)
--------------------------
I thought I'd start the holiday home tour in the playroom because it is 1) pink and 2) clean.
It is also home to our pretty pink tree. The girls love it, and it really is the best showcase for all of the princess and barbie ornaments they have amassed over the years. The room faces the front of the house, so I was more than happy to put a tree in one of the front windows.
This is also the perfect spot for handmade art. I love projects that showcase little feet, fingers and toes.
I picked up this little santa thrifting a few years ago. He is busy flying around the world in his old toy truck.
The storage unit was a craigslist find last year. Best purchase ever.
I picked up Alicia Paulson's Santa Lucia dolls kit a few years ago, too. These little girls make me smile every year when I take them out of the box.
You can kind of see the striped flat/satin wall treatment Ipainted when this was still an office. This space serves us much better as a playroom, even if it is directly to the left of the front door and is usually a disaster.
The glow of a pink tree is totally, 100% like none other.
Amen.
This is so cute, Chris! And where is the five foot by five foot pile of stuffed animals? :) My children's toy situation drives me crazy.
