Merry Christmas

Here's a peek into our home at Christmas!

You can learn a lot about someone from the way they decorate their tree. Decorate your tree with things you love! You all know my obsession with wood... At our house we keep a sliver of our tree to hang and remember each year! The best trees tell a story; what story does your tree tell?

I love to spread Christmas touches throughout our home. Similar to how you would add pops of color to unite a space, I like to add pops of Christmas! I LOVE this reindeer "topiary", who brings Christmas to our kitchen island. (He sits next to my recent inspiration, my little orange teapot!)

Remember my pallet? Here it is again, Christmas edition! Fill a mason jar with vintage Christmas lights, pop some candy canes in a "flower holder" (vintage lime zester turned upside down!), hang some homemade stockings (thrift store sweaters!) - and there you have it, a Christmas pallet!
​

I really wanted a mini-tree for our porch this year, but when we went to get one they were $40! Nope.
So I decided to make one! Around the corner from the pricey trees we found a tomato cage ($2!!!!) and I remembered something I'd seen on Pinterest.

​Here's how mine turned out! (And, as you can see, it ended up in my kitchen - because I'm the most decisive person ever...) I stood mine in a crock and decorated it with some simple white lights. I love how it adds a Christmas pop to my kitchen!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

​Happy decorating!
