FAREWELL TO CIJ WITH A QUIETLY FESTIVE ALABAMA HOUSE

Farewell, CIJ!  Here's a glimpse of how a pretty, traditional Alabama house decorates for Christmas.  It's mostly just greens, a tree, flowers, ribbon, pinecones.

This magnolia leaf garland over the den's limestone fireplace is so enhancing.  I enjoy seeing all the southern evergreens used at Christmas here.

Very classic. I’m getting dizzy watching FPH and RD. I miss her soft spoken voice. Now it’s a frenzy esp with RD.

Very nice, @Oznell! But just in case anyone isn't ready to bid adieu to CIJ, Q2 has more holiday programming all day tomorrow (noon to midnight ET) and most of the day on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  Smiley Happy

First impression:  What's going on here?

 

Very interesting mix...the wooden rustic accents with this style of architecture and furniture.

 

I wouldn't have done that to this beautiful house.

@Foxxee, didn't you like the accents of rustic wood ceilings and beams?  That's what appealed to me-- to me, it personalized and "warmed up" the spaces...
