My Christmas House: Creating Scenes

Decorating for Christmas

Welcome to my Christmas house. Can you tell by this photo I love to decorate for Christmas? I especially have our young grandchildren in mind as I set up the scenes because I'm hoping they will carry memoires of my husband and me and our home well into their adulthood. 

     Over the years I've collected several boxes of decorations, and gained even more when I married. The challenge was how to display them in a coherent fashion. The key has been to develop a theme for each scene, much like I develop a scene in my writings. 
     Take this scene for example. The little wooden trees on the back of the piano echo the tree cutouts of the railing. If you were facing the piano, you would see Santa as a fisherman surrounded by wooden woodland animals. There's even a moose in a canoe!      If you take a moment, I bet you could come up with a little story about their adventures. Hmm, that might make a good picture book. So on it goes. You'll find story ideas throughout my house.
     Do you enjoy creating scenes at Christmas? Feel free to share.

from Home of the Heart, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Linda

    I loved writing about Meg Cary's interior design career in my romance, Home of the Heart. Meg worked on some pretty spectacular projects that I've only dreamed of. But my greatest pleasure has been exploring what's involved in creating one's personal Home of the Heart, both helping others as well as the evolution of my own home design. I'll be sharing with you what I've learned over the years as an interior designer.
