Now Showing: The Show Cabinet!

One thing that I've noticed with Filipino households is that we only get to change the decor in the house when it's Christmas. So basically a house would have two "looks". Once I started reading foreign blogs they mentioned having a "fall mantle" or a "Christmas mantle" or "Valentine Entryway". And it got me to thinking, yeah why don't we rotate the decor around the house? Put away those that you won't use for now so that you can showcase a few interesting pieces at a time. :)

So now I show you what I've been doing to our show cabinet!

It looked like this when we moved in and during the house blessing. :)
