Merry Christmas and welcome to the 2007 Virtual Holiday Home Tour. There are so many wonderful homes to see that this could take a while. In fact, it will take us at least two full days to actually browse through this many holiday homes! We'll see twenty homes (!!!) today to inspire us.(Ladies, please bear with me, if I have somehow mixed up your photo, or deleted it...this was a bigger challenge than I estimated...)**edited to add** After checking the post this morning, the pictures are not matching up at all with the links, and I have no idea why not! Please click on the highlighted words to go to the home tour blogs...I think it has to do with the varying sizes of the different pictures maybe...hmmm...
You'll want to put on some good Christmas music and get yourself a cuppa something warm and toasty to drink while you're looking...
The first home on the tour is my own humble abode,(photo above) right here on dear little Norman Drive in Reno.
The top photo is looking into the dining room from the living room. I love my cottage, and I love it even more with all of the Christmas decorations about...the photo below is one of the two chairs in the far end of my dining room.
These chairs are usually in the living room, on either side of the hutch, but since I wanted the tree where I could enjoy it from both rooms, I swapped the chairs with the one I had in the dining room. This is the big advantage in going with neutral colors and having all your rooms coordinate- you can move things around any time, and it will work!
Anyway.
This is my favorite spot for curling up in, late in the evening, with a fire going, and my pups, and a cup of cocoa. *sigh* Heaven on earth.
I love it so much, that I want to share a photo of it from the other angle...
And here is a shot from just last night at the dining room table, where I had friends over for dinner.(If you look really hard, you can see part of both cozy chairs down there at the end of the room by the French doors...) Aah, Christmas cozy.
Here is the tree, looking from my favorite spot in the cozy chair, looking towards the living room. See? It's the perfect spot for my tree.
I'll share more of my Christmas cottage tomorrow, but for now, let's move this tour along!
It's time to tour the rest of the homes!

Oh my! That's all I think we can fit in for today. I surely had no idea there would be so very many wonderful homes all over to see, did you? Tomorrow I will share the rest, along with a few more of my home.
