Please don't hate me because I'm posting about Christmas already. It's my feeble attempt to
not leave holiday decorating until the last minute which I seem to do
every time. For example, my Halloween decorations didn't even make it out of the box this year. Booooo to me. (Not the Halloween "boo" of course.)
I know that many of you are getting ready to celebrate and decorate for Thanksgiving but us Canadians have already been there and done that. So that means if I start thinking about Christmas now then I might actually end up ahead of everyone else. But it's not a competition, I swear.
This year I'm being drawn to white, green, and natural Christmas decor. I just finished a really nerdy list of little project ideas that I want to accomplish before the holidays such as homemade placecards, garland, and stockings. If I start now I might be able to accomplish them all one of them by Christmas Eve. That's when our big Christmas shin-dig will go down at our house. It will be our third year hosting but it doesn't seem to get any less stressful. :S
Anyway, here are some photos that have been inspiring me so far:

Sigh. Dreamy.
I love them all!!!! How do you choose from so many wonderful inspirations out there!!! I need a bigger house! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the walnuts hangin on the little drawers. I too am already thinking about Christmas. Hopefully I'll finish two of the projects I'm planning :)

I am duly inspired. I especially enjoy the first picture. I actually DO have 1.5 trees up & decorated. I'm actually behind schedule. And the house is a disaster - not how I like to decorate - but we had to clear bins galore (mostly Christmas decor) from the basement for insulation work, and the house was already not clean and tidy to start with...so I need inspiration to get myself out of this mess and into holly, jolly Christmas cheer.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures

ooohhhh yaaaaaaa I've been getting a little excited too! I've found a couple of things that I have to get~! Theres a snowman (sooo cute) from Home Depot.I picked out some beautiful garland from Michaels.... and I think I'm going to hang a giant wreath on the left side of my house.. maybe gotta try to sell it to Jody first! hahahaha getting excited!
ReplyDeleteJeni-
Ooohhh, I love Christmas (although I am not crafty). Cant wait to see what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteJeni,
ReplyDeleteWhen were you at Michaels and why was I not with you!?!??!
Absolutely gorgeous photos and inspiration! Guess what? You won the CSN $45 gift certificate!! email me at shaunna@harristire.com so I can put them in touch with you! -shaunna :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos and great inspiration! I am not ready for Christmas yet but I feel I will soon be breaking out the snowmen! brrr
ReplyDeleteSarah... I love your inspiration photos. Yum on the Country Living Black Hutch w/the wreath hanging down. Oh, and I dig the digdigs...wow! I'm sure you're a great host and your party will be amazing! I think it shows you really care about your friends and family when you get excited to cook and decorate. I'll be hosting our first Christmas Party, this year. I'm very nervous... about 40 folks from my husband's work. Anyway, I will be looking back to see what ideas you come up with. I need HELP :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm a new follower! xo ~Michelle
Those are some great inspirational photos, I love the natural look, but I live in Winnipeg and there isn't a lot of coniferous trees around to steal limbs off of. Now when I lived in the lower mainland of BC, that was never a problem, just go out after a big wind and there were limbs everywhere, free for the taking.
ReplyDeleteI think I am going to go red and white. Fresh and bright. Btw, I really like your blog, I will be back!
Hugs, Cindy
Love, love, loving those inspirations! Christmas is my absolute favorite time for decorating, and these photos are so incredible!
