My Notting Hill: Georgetown Christmas Inspiration

Georgetown Christmas Inspiration

How lucky was I to park near this row house with the Major Award - ~~fragile~~ frageeley leg lamp ala Christmas Story! I should go back at night and photograph it, shouldn't I? For the rest of the post, there's more conventional inspiration. If you're really busy and haven't had a chance to decorate yet, consider the impact of a single large snowflake as shown in the last two images. Happy Monday.

Carla Aston said...: Thanks for sharing these! I love a simple, elegant wreath on the door for the holidays... What better way to welcome guests AND give yourself a little Christmas spirit every time you arrive home? The berry wreaths are my favorite...but if short on time, a simple snowflake in the window would do just fine...So dainty & elegant on its own.; December 10, 2012 at 9:30 PM
Gretchen said...: Um, I think that's Italian, right?!? I heard that someone bought the house in Indiana where the movie was filmed and created a Christmas Story museum....with The Lamp available for sale. I absolutely love that someone in Georgetown has it displayed prominently. It makes all the other decorations seem so staid. Lovely, but rather expected.; December 10, 2012 at 10:53 PM
