White Lights and Paper Chains

This was truly magical at night.  All it took was a few strands of white lights (the outdoor kind with the larger bulbs) a couple of extension cords (so we could have it flip on and off with the wall switch) and white paper chains that the kids and I made on a snowy day.


This is also a good "before" picture of the tv cabinet and corner shelves, to go with my new posts of them painted black, which you will find below, or over to the right in the "Family Room" section of my blog.


PS. - I noticed the tree looks a bit tilted - it was not - but I may have been standing crooked when I took the picture!  It happens!
