Welcome to the Bentley Christmas Tour!

Our front door. I redress my wreath every year with something I find on sale.

Since our tree is only 6 foot tall, we placed her in the entry way so she doesn't look as small. I bought her 7 years ago when I lived alone for $20 and just cannot bear to not decorate her. Since we may buy a larger tree for next year, I used a $15 credit to Hobby Lobby to spruce up the tree. Christmas decor was half off; I purchased fabric, red glitter twirlies, and a white star to go with the red and white ornaments we already have.
Here is the complete look. I used a green fabric scrap I had around the house to make a tree skirt - I draped it around the bottom and partly covered the trunk. I then tucked ends under itself to make it more circular. I love draped fabric.


Here is the star and red twirlies. I found this idea at my favorite boutique in Amarillo. I cannot wait to try this next year on a larger scale.

My favorite ornament - Our first Christmas married.

Fireplace and Living Room have red and maroon beaded garland. I used my old tree garland strands to wrap around the green garland. It goes well with the A&M pillows and our lone stocking.

Thank you, God, for the gift our Your Son.
Merry Christmas!
