Creative Christmas Decorating Ideas

December 4, 2015  Christmas | Uncategorized

Christmas time is here in spades.

It’s time for hot chocolate, cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie marathons and big batches of hot soup (I’ll be whipping up this chicken pumpkin soup this weekend) and shopping this great West Elm sale!

There’s nothing better than snuggling by the fire on a cold winter day with good food, shopping without ever leaving the  house, and getting inspiration from all of the beautifully decked Christmas homes.

Here are some of my favorite creative Christmas decorating ideas …

Love the classic red and green and the birch branches – Craftberry Bush

A forrest of embroidery hoops – The Golden Sycamore

I need an apre ski cocktail after seeing this fun ski-themed tree – The Lilypad Cottage

Every guest gets a wreath of honor – Kindred Vintage

Vintage marquee numbers and a festive sign in the kitchen – Jennifer Rizzo

And I can’t decide if my favorite from my Christmas house tour is my whimsical mantel …

or  Sushi in her red turtleneck!

    I love all this inspiration. I saw birch branches and the wooden horse on wheels at Home Goods, I knew I should’ve bought them, wonder if they’re still there. I wish our pup would let me dress him up, your dog is so darn cute!

      Don’t you hate when that happens! Sushi used to hate her clothes, now she reluctantly does it because she knows how much it pleases her mommy!
