Favorite Festive Christmas Decorating Ideas

What’s better than house peeping into beautifully decorated homes? House peeping into beautifully decorated Christmas homes! I’ve come across so many gorgeous homes that are filled with Christmas ribbon eye candy and I’m sharing my favorite joy sparking, festive Christmas decorating ideas. So if you’re tired of every house looking exactly the same and need some fresh decorating inspiration, you are in the right place!

Dannyelle has been permanently placed on Santa’s nice list thanks to her Christmas decorating skills. It was hard to choose just one photo but I love this hanging branch she clipped from her yard.

These are a few of my favorite things … little Christmas houses, a chalkboard and color! If you love color, fun, and whimsy, don’t miss this home!

Colorful Christmas Home – The Handmade Home

Love this colorful Christmas mantel and chalkboard Advent calendar #colorfulchristmas #christmasdecor #christmasmantel #adventcalendar #chalkart #christmaschalkart

Speaking of color, it’s amazing what one string of colorful lights can do for a porch and how cute is that pom pom wreath.

Those marquee numbers say it all and I love the simplicity of the thrifted brass candlesticks. Don’t miss Jen’s genius idea of using wrapping paper on her walls to give them some holiday flair.

This was a toss up between Shannon’s mantel and the ladder draped in pine cone covered garland hung over her dining table, but I can’t resist a good chalkboard and thought it was so creative to combine one with a wood sign.

Merry and Bright Christmas – Fox Hollow Cottage

Love the combination of a Christmas sign paired with a chalkboard #christmasdecor #christmasdecorating #christmasmantel #christmaschalkboard #chalkart #christmasgarland #diychristmas #fireplace #shiplap

I love this idea of wrapping gifts in fabric. Bonus points if its vintage French linen with Moroccan bells, feathers and sprigs of pine.

Did you know doilies make the prettiest snowflakes? Diane does and she even shares templates so we can get the look! I love the way the flakes look covering her tree.

She had me at vintage skates and I love the weathered and worn brown leather. I was rolling on the floor when I saw the tiny little silhouette of Santa and his reindeer flying across a HUGE moon. Cassie failed to read the fine print when she placed her order and didn’t realize it would be so small! Also, don’t miss the gorgeous brass farmhouse sink in her newly renovated kitchen.
