Rustic Country Christmas in Boathouse Conservatory

                                                                     We had a beautiful sunny day
                                                                      yesterday so I decided it was
                                                                      the perfect day to do a little
                                                                      decorating for the Christmas/ winter
                                                                      season in our Boathouse.
                                                                   

This year I am going with a

rustic country theme. 

Our little conservatory is

pretty small but it has lots

of light as we used old

french doors all around it.

A Friendly Village tea.

I love these old skates that I

have had for a long time and

you can't go wrong with plaid.

I think it looks nice and

cozy with the rustic theme.

In the past the Boathouse has

had several different looks...

not sure which is my favorite

but I had fun doing each one.

All, we need now is a little

snow to make it a perfect

winter retreat.

                              Next time I will share the nook

                          in the Boathouse also done

              in the  rustic theme.

                           I hope you enjoy the rustic

                                look in here as much as I do.

                             Happy Thanksgiving to all

                        my American friends!

                                          Thank you for visiting me!

Christmas in the Boathouse Favorites

                                                              

                                               I hope you are enjoying your weekend
                                              so far. It is a cold windy day here with
                                              a few snowflakes coming down. It is
                                               hard to believe that just a few weeks
                                               we were walking on our beach in a
                                               light sweater and today it is a hat ,coat
                                               and mittens kind of day.
                                                 I have been decorating our house
                                               for the season and will share photos of
                                               it soon.
                                                As, I was daydreaming about how I
                                                might decorate our little Boathouse this
                                               year I went back to see some pics from
                                               previous years and thought you might
                                               enjoy seeing some of my favorites.
                                           

The little nook is one of my

favorite spots.

This reminds me of an English

country Christmas.This is the

other side of the room from the nook.

I think this is probably my favorite

shot of all. It was one of our

first real snowfalls of the year

but the pond hadn't froze over yet,

so you get a pretty reflection in the

water.

Quite often the pond is froze over before

we get a pretty snowfall .

                    I have to say I do love a beautiful

snowy winter day!

This is winter shot of the Boathouse

from a few years ago.

In case you don't already know my

husband and son built the Boathouse

about seven years ago using as much

recycled material as possible.

It is a short walk through the garden

from the house to our little at

home getaway cottage.

So, what about you have you

started to decorate for the

season yet?

Thank you for visiting!
