I got a slightly earlier than usual start on putting up my Christmas decorations this year, but not by much! Some of the people in our neighborhood have had their trees up since the beginning of November, so I didn’t feel too crazy just switching out my Fall decorations for a few pretty light up Christmas houses a week before Thanksgiving! Nate and I put our tree up and finished completely decorating on Friday. I just love cozying up on the couch and watching TV by the light of the tree and all of the other lit up decor! Our house has a very open floor plan, so we’re able to really enjoy all of the decorations that would normally be closed off in individual rooms! I love that.
The kitchen is probably my favorite area other than the tree because of the the pretty glow of the lighted garland above the cabinets. My second favorite is our huge wreath that hangs upstairs in the foyer window. A TIP for hanging: if you’re using suction cups to hang something like this on a window- spray hair spray on the suction cups before sticking them! That baby is heavy, and it stays put all thanks to hairspray.
If you feel like you recognize our Christmas decorations- you probably do. All of the peacock decor was used in our wedding. I love being able to take our wedding decorations and use them in our home. After Christmas is over I take the little sparkly berry twigs off of the tree and put them in a vase as a wintry decoration. I keep with the blues and purples until the end of the season.
Biscuit is very excited about the holidays, as you can tell. Just look at the look on his face! He hides in his litterbox when I take pictures of him. I think he’s camera shy. The little advent calendar hanging on the wall was made by my mother in law. We went and picked out the fabric and then she whipped it up in no time. I love it.
Freckles isn’t a Christmas decoration, obviously.. but Biscuit made an appearance so I thought we should include baby Freckles too! Unfortunately he wont just hang back and let you take his picture like Biscuit, so you get a very up close look at his cute little nose! You’re welcome.
I LOVE the way you decorated!! It looks so warm and cozy!!! Happy Holidays! xo
Thank you so much!
I love the decorations. Look so warm! Freckles is a cutie!!
Thanks Maribel! I love that you all think my house looks "warm". 🙂
Ohhh Stephanie, I loveeee it! Your tree, the wreath, the kitchen– everything!
I honestly wish I had my own house {or just a better apartment actually} to decorate it nicely. I have a few things up, but it's all cheap stuff and we don't have a tree {since we won't be actually spending Christmas here}. But god, your house looks amazing! Good job 😉
Aw Leanne, thank you! Even if your apartment isn't *the* place of your dreams to decorate, it's still fun to put things out! I was lucky to have been given a lot of the decorations that I have, and then of course I recycled our wedding decorations! Otherwise I probably wouldn't have very much.
I love this! I am so excited to decorate for Christmas, even if it won't be nearly as beautiful as your house is. =]
Your home is beautiful. So warm and welcoming. Love the decorations. 🙂
