Decking the halls...

Welcome friends to our very first link up! My bestie, Bri, over at Klahnsense and I are spreading holiday cheer all month long! We live like 1,500 miles away from one another, but are excited to share some of our very favorite ways to spread holiday cheer.

Please feel free to link up below and share with us how you are decking your own halls!

2012 marks my first holiday season as homeowner. Prior to this year, we've been been in tiny houses or apartments with no real vision (or space) for holiday decor. Now, I'm having the totally opposite problem. My house is way to big and I don't have the holiday cheer to fill all of the possible places for seasonal decor.

I really think the first place to start is with a vision. I likely spent way too long trying to decide my theme. Did I want red and green? More modern or traditional? Maybe a white Christmas with blue and silver? Ultimately, I decided on silver, white and red - with a simple mix of modern and traditional elements. Here is where we are at to date with our decor:


Top Left: Mantel with stockings for our fur children. I stole the idea of a curtin rod to hold the stockings from Pinterest. It really does eliminate clutter from stocking holders.
Top right: Adorable metal reindeer and print of sheet music
Bottom Left: Adorable TJ Maxx finds
Bottom Right: Repurpose of Christmas Ornaments


I added the letters last year as a way to personalize these Ikea stockings from 6 years ago.

Now, obviously I am lacking in the volume of my decor. Brienn really does have more than twice I have and it is all so adorable, having been collected over the years.

My plan is to hit up the sales close to or just after Christmas. I hate paying full price for anything, so I have no intention of starting with holiday decor. I'd like to make and collect a really amazing collection of white, silver and red trees to place on the buffet. I'd love to add some subway art with Christmas cheers, as well. And, I'd love to add a bit more of my pinterest board. Then, eventually, we'll tackle the outside of our house...

Friends, please, share with me your holiday decor! This is new to me, so I'd love to see your ideas.

  1. I love the TJMaxx finds! So cute! I have a collection of trees as well, I used those on my mantel this year. I love the curtain rod, though I am partial to my daddy, mommy, & baby reindeer stocking holders. After Christmas sales are the way to go! Most of my favorite decor is from them. Great start, bestie!
