DECORATING: 'tis the season!!

Holiday Decorations:


This holiday, I am excited about decoration my new home.  While getting in the spirit of the season, I have been researching for some inspiration.  Here are a few of the idea's that I have book marked:  all images: livingetc


Love this idea of using a branch painted white and hung with ribbons.
So perfect when one does not have a fireplace to hang stockings 
(wish I did have a fireplace though, but this is a good alternate)




or this cute idea! Just tie coffee cups on the stairs! and fill with sweets.
(Kandi, is this similar to your Christmas Basket idea??)


Completely adore the paper cut out wreath, and that reindeer!! SO adorable.


I am really into reindeer this year, and these metal cut out deer work well with the gold accents. They look great on that table (looks like a west elm table)
LOVE those huge ornaments over the table.



I am really liking this string of baubles! and that glass container filled with limes and candles!! 




I am always in search of stars, and these are perfect for the 
backs of chairs or tied to a gift!

What are you doing this holiday season for decorations?

  2. Great ideas! Thanks for sharing! This season is my fiance's and my first time in our own apartment, so I went super simple with mod red and green wrapping papers, paper snowflakes everywhere, and red tartan plaid.

  4. Wow - I could comment on each fabulous idea here! I love this collection of decor options, especially the reindeer (I'm all about them, too) & the non-traditional way of hanging stockings! Love it. (I'm far to clutzy for those cups, though: I'd break them).

    I have used a tonne of white, black, and silver this year and I'm loving the look of my newly acquired birds in my tree! (I'll post pics, soon).

    Welcome back, Callie!

  5. Aw, how pretty! I love the white branch - it really is great idea if you don't have a fireplace (like me :( ). The photo with the huge ornaments looks like the perfect setting for a very elegant and sophisticated christmas party:) I love it!
    And the stars at the bottom - tied to the back of a chair - what a great idea!!

    Have a lovely weekend, dear friend! xo
