Hello everyone,
One of the things I enjoy about the long winter nights is the romantic glow of candlelight in our home.A couple of nights ago we enjoyed a cozy candlelight dinner with the wood fireplace going and the Christmas tree nearby.It is one of the things I look forward to the most when the garden is put to bed for winter and the colder temperatures force me indoors.
The bannister on the stairway gives a warm glow in the hallway as well.
I love old drippy candles.
The candle chandelier adds charm.
Candles glowing in the hall.
A few Christmas touches in our home.
Last night we hosted a potluck dinner for 27 people and I took some pictures of the tables beforehand to share with you soon. We will be eating leftovers for days!
I am joining French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday and My Romantic Home for Show And Tell.
Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn
What a wonderful cozy setting for a candlelight dinner. Thank you for sharing pictures of your lovely home. I love spending time at home on cold winter nights.

ReplyDeleteYour home looks so beautiful lit up by candlelight, Carolyn! I love lighting candles, too, especially on cloudy days. I think it just gives a homey, cozy look and feel.
ReplyDeleteOh I agree. I love these evenings with all the lights off except the tree, the staircase and the dining room hutch and buffet. Very serene, your house is always so warm looking.
ReplyDeleteSoo soo beautiful....I adore all the wonderful white...so calming...love that...phyllis

Your home is beautiful all year, but there is something magical about it at Christmas. All the soft lighting with candles and string lights sets such a lovely background for dinner, or just relaxing. Your guests must feel like they've entered a fantasy land when they come for dinner!

Beautiful pictures again. I too love those old drippy candles. They look so much like Walt Disney that we watch every Christmas.

Love Elzie
Looks very charming and cozy too!

So, so very romantic ... the warmth of your home is so inviting. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHello Carolyn, and Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteI think the dreamy colour you painted on the walls enhances the glow from all your candles - beautiful!
We would be hard pressed to find room for 27 people to sit down in our small bungalow but I'm sure you had plenty and a great time.
Judith
Wow you do have an awesome home
ReplyDeleteCarolyn,
ReplyDeleteYou are truly something special! I have looked at so many blogs and have never seen anything so beautiful. We have such a similar style. I just starting blogging back in the fall and I just got a new camera so I am still learning but I hope to be able to capture my home and style as you have on your blog. I am going to be your blog stalker!
