I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed time with your family. I will be taking a break from blogging until the new year as I am traveling and spending time with my family. I hope you have a great rest of the year and I look forward to the new year. Thank you all for your support as I’ve started my blog and I can’t wait to see what the new year will hold!

Christmas at Stone Mountain

First of all, I apologize for missing my posts the last two days. On top of not feeling good, Christmas has snuck up on me and things have been very hectic! This past weekend we went to Stone Mountain outside of Atlanta with my parents and I wanted to share some of the Christmas decorations with you. Stone Mountain is the world’s largest piece of exposed granite. Outside of the gates we were greeted by “Bubble Man”. He was a favorite of the kids and the workers.

On the face of the Mountain is carved Stonewall Jackson, Robert E Lee, and Jefferson Davis. All key figures from the Confederate States of America.

You can walk to the top or ride the skyride. We choose the skyride today. Here’s the view of Atlanta from the top of the Mountain. As you can see the weather wasn’t really cooperating.

One of the things to do in Stone Mountain Park is the Antebellum Plantation. I love how they’ve decorated this house for Christmas. The little cornhusk horses are adorable. In the kids room, each kid has a different color yarn and the have to follow it to their present. So it’s a fun game. In the loom room, they are starting to decorate with popcorn and cranberries.

Stone Mountain Park does an amazing job of lighting up everything at night. I wish I knew how to work my camera well enough to do the lights justice, so here are the better pictures. The lights were just beautiful. Every tree, every building, everything was wrapped in lights.

I would love to be curled up in that bed right now in front of that fire. It’s boring rain and cold here in Atlanta. Brr. I’m over winter already! But back to the picture. It’s so nice and warm and cozy. If I could step into a picture, I’d be there!

Lately I’ve been obsessed with Swedish Interiors. It’s all so clean and stylish. I love the limited patterns used but they are used in such key places to make a huge impact. We’ve talked about lighting and how important it is. Do you see the lights used in these pictures? How cool are they? I enjoy looking at these pictures, the places are just relaxing and I’d love to take a cup of coffee and sit at the table and look through my latest stack of Interior Design Magazines. Or read Times Top 50 Interior Design Blogs. Have you looked at the list? I must say I’m glad to see a lot of my favorites on there – Coco & Kelley, Creature Comforts, Lovely Clusters, Decor8, and Desire to Inspire! And now I have even more new blogs to go read.

Pink Christmas Tree

To continue the theme from yesterday I stumbled across this picture today and I fell in love, so I had to post it. I don’t even know where to start. Do I start with the gorgeous pink Christmas Tree? I want that tree. Or the adorable little girl? Or the pink and brown wallpaper? Or the pillows that just look so comfy that are perfect to sit on while unwrapping those perfectly wrapped Christmas presents? I love it all!
