Good morning! Well, I may have been  a little late out of the starting gate but this little elf made up for lost time! I did something that I haven’t done in years, used quite a bit of red. And you know what? I am loving it! I think paired with the blue and white, against the fresh greens, its a beautiful and a very merry combination. In my living room,  it does not work as the walls are yellow/gold (cannot wait to take down the paper its pretty but not “me”)

I will be sharing my living room decor next week, its nothing crazy but small pretty festive touches in softer tones to not overwhelm or compete with the walls. We had beautiful cedar put around the door frame and then I filled my planters with fresh greens and faux berries,  its just enough to say “Merry Christmas” and then upon walking into the foyer, you are greeted dead center by my tall beautiful tree decked out in blue/white with red bows. I even filled my blue and white jumbo ginger jars with greenery and red berries and I must say it makes me so happy walking into this space. I continued on with the theme into the dining room which I have shared (and will update next week) Click here if you missed it.

I didn’t think we would be here this Christmas so that kind of came as a surprise. But I made the best of things and once I got going, I was on a definite roll. I didn’t buy a single thing (except the red bows) I had everything here and then plenty still remains in the basement! One thing I am not in short supply of is Christmas decor.  Today is all about my tree and front door.  So, come on in and let me show you around…….

Front door, traditional elegant and undestated

Walking in! Yes, I know rug is way too small, remember everything here is temporary…..

 

For the planters it was just mixed greens and our faux berry picks. Many on Instagram asked about the planters, we have a handful left, click here for info

 

A very special offer on all ornaments and holiday gift wrap (see below)

I realized when decorating so much of why I did it was for my mom, I know how much she loved it and her oohs and ahh were what I lived for. So I have several framed pictures of her near the tree and hope she is enjoying it from above. Miss her so so much.

And at dusk when the lights start to shimmer and cast their glow

Hope you enjoyed seeing my tree and front door. I am so happy its done and up for us to all enjoy. We are going to host a small holiday cocktail party next week so this has also motivated me to get things wrapped up around here. Have only ordered 2 gifts so far but my goal remains to be done by Sat. Every day is getting busier than the previous so I am blocking periods of time to get things done around here.

Tomorrow is my birthday, so I’m giving myself the day off from any duties, responsibilities, obligations, etc……we all at least deserve one day don’t you think! But on Friday, it will be full stream ahead:)

Anyway thanks for stopping in, wishing everyone a wonderful day. Don’t forget to pace yourself, it’s easy to get caught up in the frenzy of the season, but remember it all works out in the end. Until next time…….
