Beautiful ideas. I love all of the greenery — my favorite part about decorating during this season!
The candles on the mantle would be so easy to do with a cheap pair of candles and some washi tape or decorative tape. Loved all of the ideas and the simplicity of them.
Love all the simple, natural elements…so beautiful.
P.S. Your book is on my Christmas list :)
I love that your ideas are not just for Christmas but can be carried through the winter season. so cozy, warm and inviting.
Very inspiring! Now I’m ready to make something cute and Christmasy!
I like to wrap wall pictures like presents, with wrapping paper and tied with a ribbon, and hang them back on the wall. I have lots of wall art around the house, so I just choose key pieces to wrap to insert a festive look. I had a large artwork over the fireplace mantel that I wrapped with paper and ribbon, and then on top of it I hung a wreath with wide glittery ribbon. Decorating the mantel with holiday candles and greenery, it was very much a focal point of the room.
OMG I can’t wait to go home and start decorating! Love ALL these ideas and look forward to trying to incorporate them into our home :) Thank you so much for sharing!! Liz http://www.4evermysweetpea.com
can you tell me where that cute alarm clock is from?
Love these ideas!
Yes! I am also interested in where you purchased the alarm clock. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!
It came from a little second hand store, sorry I don’t know more :)! You are welcome, thanks for stopping by!
Target quite often has similar reproductions.
I’m totally getting a kick out of your hanging pinecone garland, and jingle bells jar!
Beautiful ideas! I think I will try the pine cone garland today!
Enjoyed reading about your holiday decorating! New to your blog, looking forward to reading more!

Hi Melissa, I have had a hard time finding mini or small boxwood wreaths like you showed on the mirror. Please let me know where I might find them. Thank You, Janet
PS anticipation for your reveals are exciting! ???
I really wish I could do something like the cute little wreaths and small trees above the kitchen sink. Unfortunately, my kitchen sink does not face a window… it faces a wall into the living room, and I love the pass-through window in the wall. But my cats are always knocking off anything I put on that little ledge, so they can jump through and get to the kitchen. Instead of, you know, walking in through the hall and not knocking my unique and expensive glass decor into the sink. I’ve got the itch to decorate though, and I really want to find something I can put there!
Oh thank you! Everything is so clean and crisp.
