If you’re like me, you start pulling out the endless tubs of Christmas décor. Opening up each Christmas tub is like opening a treasure box full of forgotten things. I will never forget my first married Christmas. It was also my first Christmas to decorate my own home, however, I wanted might I add! I was so excited! It was about half way through digging through all my Christmas décor that my husband pointed out that I was very excitingly saying, “Oh Yea” every two minutes. It is always fun finding the things you forgot you bought on sale the day after Christmas and saved for the next year! I never know what I will find.
I remember getting to my container full of wreaths and pulling out by childhood wreath in all its fake blue poinsettia and old school snowflake ribbon glory. While I have very fond memories of that hanging on my door as a kid I knew it needed some updating. This year instead of trying to add all the glitz and glamor I could to my wreaths I decided to play with what hung around them add the dramatic flair that was needed.
This season there is a definite tribute to the natural beauty of nature. We are adding less to Christmas trees and often going too far as to leave them bare in decorating this season. That natural look inspired me to keep it simple like seen here in my guest room.
