Ann Marie's Home Christmas 2010

I am so busy trying to take down Christmas this week and did I tell you that my youngest son is moving from an apartment to a townhouse this week too? It is in the same Apartment Complex but I do wish they could have waited until Spring as we are supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow on the day they are moving!! Yikes!!!

So I need to take a break from posting since my house is in a state of disaster so I thought I would do a "Guest Post" so to speak!

This past weekend we visited with our good friends, Tony and Anne Marie. I have mentioned Anne Marie several times on my blog. We met them at the Hockey games that we have season tickets for and soon we discovered that Anne Marie and I have very similar tastes. Anne Marie and Tony then joined the Victorian group that Joe and I belong to and a wonderful friendship was born!


Anne Marie

I thought you would enjoy seeing their beautiful home decorated for Christmas.

It is a home that was completely remodeled by Tony and Anne Marie's Father.

This is what you see after you enter thru the front door.......



Be sure to notice the paint treatment on the walls....yes, that is painted stripes in pink and not wall paper!!
This is at the end of the hallway.....


Aren't they cute???

The Sofa Table.......


Close up.....


A carriage along side the table.....


A school desk and carolers ( sorry, a bit blurry)

A Sweet Bearington Bear on the lovely Burgundy Sofa .....


Love this pink chair....

And the Tea Set....



On the table top.....


On the Coffee Table....


The Entertainment Center......


All of her houses.....






When you enter the Dining Room.....

Love that floral carpeting.....


Hutch with her Great Grandmother's China.......

Don't you just love this.......


Looking into the Living Room.....

And look at this gorgeous Tablescape........



Stunning....





The other side of the Dining Room....


Notice the windows....
Anne Marie did those using Gallery Glass by Plaid to create the stained glass effect....


She just put up a small tree on the Buffet this year......

Gorgeous.....

But will you look at this fireplace!!!!!!
I love it!!

The mantle....


That is her childhood stocking...


The Grand Father Clock is what Tony wanted!!

Love this too!

Notice the Lincrusta ( spelling?) wall paper below the chair rail......


An Angel and Santa......


Tony and Joe....

The joke is Joe wearing a Ranger hat....

He is an avid Pittsburgh Penguins Fan!!!


Cute shelves in her Kitchen...


And now we go upstairs to the Master Bedroom!!!!

I so love this!!!!


Isn't this darling?


But will you look at this beauty!!!!!!!


Gorgeous!


A white Christmas tree......


Cute seating area....



The corner......


Top of the Cupboard.....

Antique Baptismal Certificate.....


Well, I hoped you enjoyed the Tour of Tony and Anne Marie's beautiful home!!

I realized that there was so much more that I didn't take pics of like a curio in the Living Room, her staircase with the wood railing wrapped in pink ribbon and pink stockings hanging, more of the kitchen and the sitting room off of the Master Bedroom....

Next time.....

Joe and I enjoyed our visit with our good friends!!

Love ya, Anne Marie!!
