I told You I wasn't Stressed


I have so much to be thankful for...starting with my husband. He was up until midnight putting the second coat of paint on. I'm in total love with the color.. it's called Red Red Wine ..fitting if you know us.

We had a great day. Steve's parents came and his sister and her family. I started cooking at 6:00 this morning and never left my kitchen except to sit down to eat...I love it all. Cooking, baking, entertaining, decorating the table.


Hannah made the placecards and helped set the table.






I can't wait to cook, bake, entertain and decorate for Christmas!

  3. Oh Pam, it is beautiful!!! I knew you would get it together. That color is yummy. I also LOVE your china pattern ( in opera). I know the meal was delish and the company was enjoyable. So glad your day went well. We had the newlyweds home and it was/is great fun. I am thankful for this crazy blog world and a powder room door knob that brought me your friendship. :)

  4. Gorgeous. I wish you'd been around for our dinner. We hiked a mountain that morning, and I forgot I had to make rolls, and dinner was at our house, and when the cousins got here nothing was ready, so we were lucky to have clean tablecloths and dishes to eat off and mashed potatoes to eat.
    Ironically, I wasn't stressed about this meal. Maybe I should have been.
    Your room and table are fantastic. And I love the chandeliers. A TON!

  9. I want to know how you got all of those chairs painted, too? I bet Griffy has a bit of black paint under his fingernails;) hugs, Cathy

  10. Beautiful! And I can't believe you pulled that off within 48 hours of turkey dig-in. Your table was gorgeous. And per your last post, I'm loving that your elf is named Buddy. Our is Mr. Peeps - that's the name he came with and it stuck. A little creepy, but it describes his job well! Looks like you're happy Pam. As usual, I love your "view" - blessings!
