I AM STARTING TO DECK THE HALLS WITH BOUGHS OF HOLLY
I found some fresh real garland at Lowe’s and draped it up the staircase, added white lights and red ribbon. 
Put some fake garland wrapped with white lights on the fireplace mantel and added a few apothacary jars, a bottle brush tree and a darling nutcraker.
Dragged out the antique sled from the attic and leaned up against the fireplace and hung the stocking close by.
Our front door with the wreath I made years ago.
Close up of the wreath…I think I need to fix the ribbon a bit.

Next I decided to deck the sideboard in the dining room with more fake garland wrapped in white lights. I had found these adorable green and red topiaries last year when shopping with my daughter Madeline at Garden Ridge and put them on either side.
Added a clear glass cake plate with a tall red candle holder vase thing a ma jig and then under the domes I added a cute snowman dude 
and one of those cute cardboard house ornaments
I know this one is blurry but it just looks so warm and glowy I stuck it in here. The tree is relecting in the mirror in the background. ahhhh
Here’s the 9 foot Tree all done up.

Next up will be the kitchen if I get it done.
Merry Christmas everyone!

I love your sled by your fireplace! I found one once at an antique barn sale for $35 and didn’t buy it…not all of them I see are $65 or more! Darn!

I love those topiaries, just beautiful (and no danger of flying pinecones there!) Your home is so cozy and inviting. Are those stockings something you’ve had for a while? I’d love to find some like that!
Everything looks just perfect! I adore the fresh garland, I miss that smell!
Everything looks beautiful. I like the little domes you made.
I want those topiaries!
Your decorations are great. I really like how you put the snowman ornament under the upside-down hurricane. That is one I am going to use. Great job!
That is so inspiring-ly gorgeous! I love the mantle and the stairs, and well, I guess the wreath and tree too. There’s nothing I didn’t love!
Looks really beautiful! I love the little touches like the sled and fresh garland. The wreath is incredible, I could go on and on!
Love your fresh garland and all your Christmas decorations. Your blog is awesome, chock full of inspiration and fluff stuff that made me drool!
Prayers for Tim!

Everything looks so lovely. Especially that live garland perfectly draped up the staircase. WOW!
Your home is just beautiful! I too will be anxious to see the kitchen! I am so sorry to hear about your brother’s recent diagnosis…I will be sure to keep him in my prayers and will check out his journal. I will pray peace for your family, and comfort for your brother…

Love the sled and the banister!Oh Your garland is so lush and pretty. Absolutely adorable!
Oh, I love the Garden Ridge trees, and all the clochey, upside down candle thing-a-ma-jigs. The little snowman is adorable too! I think I need some of that real garland from Lowe’s b/c mine looks like poo! I think I’m going to take it back, as a matter of fact.
Everything looks so wonderful!
It is looking great! I love the items in your dining room. So prety. I think the blurry pic may be the best. I agree with the warmth you feel looking at it! Can’t wait to see the kitchen.
