Hi again! I have been really excited about this post and meant to have it up much earlier but, as you know, the holidays can be a little crazy and the days slipped away from me. Nonetheless, here it is! Plus, bonus, everything Christmas is probably on sale by now so if you're interested in any of the items below you can probably get them super cheap! So, anyways, I love decorating for Christmas and the cozy warmth that this season brings to our home. Mostly, I love that it is an expression of the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. What could be sweeter?
I love traditional, rustic-ish (?) Christmas decor. Most of our year-round decor, furniture, and paint is neutral so I love adding in more creams, golds,and the occasional fun pop of red. I also like bringing the outdoors in with greenery, wooden accents, red berries and, of course, a pine cone here and there ;). I hope that you enjoy this glimpse into our home at Christmas time. If you feel inspired or in case something special captures your eye, I included links to several of the items shown.
I found this door spray at Big Lots last year. I love the gold berries!
Living Room:
I love a lot of things in this space, but lets start with the red car pillow. Is it not the cutest thing ever?! I found mine at Kirkland's on sale for $12.00, which I thought was a pretty great deal. I'm also loving our mantle this year. We recently had our windows replaced and the one above our mantle here is one of the old ones. I just stuck some gold and white scrapbooking paper in the back for a fun pop of pattern and stuck this wreath right on top.

Sadly, our living room just isn't big enough to fit a tree, but thankfully we have a perfect spot in our kitchen/dining/nook area room. Our Tree is mostly gold with red and brown accents. I love it! I didn't do much in our little nook, just added a red tree throw pillow and a really cool ceramic firehouse my dad gave me when I was younger.
Kitchen:

This year in the kitchen I just threw some garland over the kitchen window, added a few accent pieces, festive towels and that's about it! I love love love this little red truck from the Target Dollar spot. It must be popular because I had to go to two Targets to find it and still couldn't find one until I spotted this one in an abandoned shopping cart. SO yeah, I kind of worked for that thing!

Thank you again for reading. As much as I LOVE Christmas decor, movies, music, traditions and all that comes along with this time of year, I think it's super important to take time to slow down, step back and remember the reason why I am celebrating. I am so thankful that God sent his son Jesus, that he loves me, saved me, died for me and that he is alive today! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas surrounded by the people you love and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, the most precious gift of all!
Merry Christmas!
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
