Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!

I've just returned home from a great week in NC with my folks.  I managed to get out of DC the day after we received 16" of snow.  The roads in DC were horrific but that's not a surprise to anyone!  They were better in VA but I still saw 3 accidents.  I was glad to make it!  

One of my projects every year is to decorate my parent's house for Christmas.  Every year I do something different on their mantel and this was the winning design this year.  The sprays of silver balls caught my eye at West Elm and a whole look was born.  Since I do this every year, my parents have A LOT of decorations at the house.  The blue ornaments were from previous years.  I like blue/silver/white as a decorating scheme instead of just red and green.  Since my Mom is obsessed with blue and white, the silver/blue/white theme also goes well with her decor.

I'm showing property in Cleveland Park tomorrow which is why I'm back in town.  I'm also trying to get final approval on a short sale purchase that's been lingering since October.  Back to the grind.
