The elves are busy helping me to
get my Christmas act together
here at the Polohouse this week.
So I decided to post on
the dining room and living room
all set for the holidays.
But,
I have a huge confession to make...
these photos were taken last year
at this time. My house was featured on
a holiday tour of homes
and the table was all set for the day
for guests to get in
the spirit of the holidays.

| Bambi stopped by to check out the tree. |
Thanks for coming by
and visiting today.
Once the elves and I get
caught up around here,
I will snap some pics
and share how things look this week.
(Working full time has gotten me terribly behind!)
Not to worry.... it will get done,
and if it doesn't... then oh well!
Maybe next year.
;)
Keeping it real...
keep on remembering what
Christmas is really all about
and that's what matters, right?

DUDE ~ where did you get your tree last year? the White House?? It's HUGE
ReplyDeleteOh it is looking soooooooooo good. I love your decor. Everything is beautiful. The plaid is such a great touch. Hugs, marty
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this year will be just as beautiful as last year Alison. Love the plaid.
ReplyDeleteAlison - Your home is beautiful! Yes, I love the plaid on the table too, and that rose centerpiece is gorgeous! Goes perfect. When you get done with that silverware, pass it my way, okay? You can even send it over dirty.

Love the way you used the plaid on the table. I can't imagine having a house on a home tour-at least it would force you to get everything done very early! I've been catching up with some of your posts. I love your vintage bottle tree collection displayed over your stove. Merry Christmas, Alison!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Looks like last year was wonderful, I hate it when working gets in the way of decorating and fun time! Laura
ReplyDeleteYou know I love the tartan. How gorgeous. That is a very tall tree. My oh my. Love the plaid ribbon in it, too.
ReplyDeleteTartan Plaid! I love it! Your table is gorgeous and so fitting with your home!
ReplyDeleteNancy
Great table. Beautiful tartan and I love he chargers and lace edged napkins. All that with wonderful silver...a wonderful combination.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see this year's decorations.
Well, your table is beautiful no matter when it was! Your home is always so stunning! I love the plaid you've used.
ReplyDeleteOh, the New Editor thingy is the place you upload your snaps and write your post. If you go to 'design' and click on 'settings' then scroll down and toward the end you'll see 'select post editor'. I changed to 'updated editor (recommended). They seemed to have worked out the bugs and even though I was scared to try it - it worked for me fine and I could upload lots of snaps at one time. Hope that helps.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Love this! Last year or this year, its BEAUTIFUL! Love your Burberry ribbon and how Bambi stopped by. Beautiful table setting and what a magnificent majestic tree!!
ReplyDeletePS I am part of the stable crew :)
Wow what a great tablescape! So romantic and rich looking! I love the arial view of the tree~quite grand. It is stunning. Do you do a tall tree every year?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! That tree is amazing, and I love your tablescape. Hope you and the elves are having fun preparing for Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteYour table has lots of similarities to the Ralph Lauren NYC store's tree that I saw THIS year and posted about. They must have gotten their idea from you. How cool is that!!!
ReplyDeleteThat table setting, and the tree are both just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe tartan really sets off the table with the cranberry glass.
ReplyDeleteI also have a tartan tablecloth that I use at christmas. I use my small cranberry glass as tealight holders. How do you take pictures of a lit tree. Mine don't turn out.
Your home is beautiful Alison. Have a wonderful Christmas! Blessings, Pamela
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tree! It's absolutely HUGE. How in the world did you decorate it? Looks like you have some pretty decorations on there too. Love that saying at the end.
ReplyDeleteHey friend, I know you are working hard but I hope you have time to relax some and enjoy your beautiful home. The photos from last year are stunning and I'm sure your home will be just as stunning this year. We had a 12 foot tree a few years ago and it was beautiful but not so easy to decorate. Yours was beautiful! Merry Christmas to you and your family.-----Shannon
ReplyDeleteWhat a amazing tree. WOW! I loved the fresh roses. You done good. Thanks friend, for the pictures. Richard from My Old Historic House.

This year...last year...it doesn't matter. Your house is always beautiful. Full time jobs and blogging don't really mix do they? Sometimes I think I'm nuts to try to do both. Anyway, Happy Christmas to you and your family. Enjoy every minute.
ReplyDeleteHi Alison, I'm happy to see your decorations from last year. Your home is breathtaking. Love the tree and all the plaid on the table. Love the Burberry on the tree.
ReplyDeleteI'm still behind too so don't feel so bad. I love the Christmas imagine about the true meaning of Christmas.
Christmas Blessings to you and yours.

Is there anything better than plaid? I don't think so. :) Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised your kids have let you get away without a tree this long! Yes, the roses in the trophy cup are gorgeous! I jut wish you could have just gotten a tree that didn't look so enemic. Bless your heart!
ReplyDeletelove your dining room table! last year or not, I didn't know you last year so it is all new to me. can't wait to see what the elves have been helping you with.
