Hello there and welcome! It is truly a pleasure to have you here 🙂 If you follow me on Facebook, you know last week I mentioned how terribly I wanted to decorate for Christmas. Guys, it’s a real struggle! I have promised myself that I wouldn’t decorate until after my Holiday Open House I am having this weekend. But, you better believe the minute my open house is over, guests are gone and things are put back into their place, that I will be pulling out my Christmas stuff. Yes, I’m serious! I am just thrilled at the thoughts!!!
To help ease my urge, I put together a cute little inspiration board that I will be basing my decor off of this year! Do you keep the same style and design year to year? Or do you change it up? I like to change it up, within reason, each year! I tend to use the majority of the same ornaments, give or take a few and I have a few of my favorite, traditional family pieces that I incorporate into every design. It can get expensive, and may not be something you’re interested in doing, but if you are, my best advice is to plan the year before and shop the after Christmas sales when things can be up to 90% off.
This year I’m going for a rustic, warm design. I will be using faux fur, lots of candles, mercury glass, greenery, glitter, deers and pinecones!

Pine cones, check. Mercury glass, check. Greenery and deer, yep. Throw some burgundy in there instead of fur and you have my theme!! Yours is lovely too, thank you for sharing your inspiration!
