Simple Christmas decor

I love the natural, simplistic christmas decoration {not to mention what a beautiful home!} featured in this house belonging to the owners of the design firm Les Ensembliers. The greenery looks so rich against all the white. Nature provides us the most wonderful adornments, does it not??

My little bits of Christmas cheer

Thursday, December 08, 2011

I wanted to share a few of my decorations. I will probably do several posts that share a few different areas since I am realizing I have lots of decor up this year.  

 

This is my vintage mistletoe that I love so much. Vintage decorations are just my very favorite. These are hand sewn little felt lovelies that are bedazzled with sequins and bells. I found it in antique store for $10 many many years ago.

Only a bit of the actual {plastic} mistletoe part is still in tact.    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can you see yesterday's snowflakes behind our sweet santas?  

  

 I treasure my handmade gifts from my kiddos!

 

 17 more days!!! Can you believe it???

You may have an 'Elf on your shelf'..

but I have baby Jesus in my cabinet.

 

I have had this little pottery nativity set for years {bought from local potters at Mud Dabbers}. This year, I have tucked it into my open kitchen cabinets. I still need to make a little star to hang above their heads.

I simply used a wood slice from this project from last year. The hole normally used to string a ribbon through for hanging is used instead to stick a little sprig of greenery in to.  

        sweet and simple.

 

Let it Snow Man!

Have you seen Emily Henderson's super great vintage Snowglobe family? 

A lot of us don't necessarily want to use the traditional red and green in our decorating and this color palette offers a fresh and unexpected option. Not to mention it rocks the fun factor!

She made 3 snowman each with 3 different sized globes. She made a base out of plywood and then attached a smaller block of wood with nuts that allowed a rod to be threaded on.  

She attached furniture pads to the bottom to prevent any scratching.

With a drill bit that matched the size of her metal rod, she drilled holes in the top and bottom of each globe. 

And then she loaded 'em up.

If you are lucky enough to have globes that come on cool bases, then you can turn them in to hats! 

 And the global vibe continues on the other side of the room:

This room was part of HGTV's Holiday Festival which aired last Saturday. I, unfortunately, missed it and I can't find another listing for a second airing. {If anyone hears when it airs again please let me know!} But, you can check out more pictures and info on Emily's blog.
