Hello friends!!  I have started decorating for Christmas and wanted to share a few things.  In a perfect world I would have had my “Christmas tour” on the blog some time ago, but better later than never right?  To begin, I bought these just a week ago at Everlasting Blooms.

Now aren’t they just so pretty?!  For some reason I tend to stay clear of red for Christmas decor (I know I am crazy), but these are so beautiful!  I have such a hard time with color. Even red on Christmas, but just a pop of color goes a long way with a neutral palette.

I had no idea where I was going to use this “color.” But eventually, after trial and error I found it a home.  Here in the galvanized bin.  Doug seems to think someone made this in HVAC school because he had to back in the day, but I have no idea where this really come from.  I do know I love it!  I bought it full of cabbage at the little red barn a few months ago. I filled the bottom with fresh greens and stuck a few sprigs of pinecones I had out from my fall decor.  Do you like it??

Next, I would love to show you all my favorite thing to decorate.  My open shelving unit from World Market.  Funny story about this- I bought it for in kitchen.  Where the coffee bar is.  I had it planned to fit just perfect!  Or so I thought.  It ended up being a half an inch too small for the space :(..  I am sure you all can imagine my disappointment.  After some time passed, I never got over my love for this shelving unit.  So I bought it again. And let me tell you, this wasn’t easy.  I was pregnant. And this was SO heavy!  But I was determined. I sold my antique hoosier I had planned for the space.  (Which in itself was such a hard decision!)  But am SO happy I bought this.

Really I don’t change it too much except for the top shelf and the banner across the front.  For fall, I had the Target dollar spot acorns, but for Christmas I found these light up deer on Antique Farmhouse.  They are battery operated and I look forward to turning them on every night 🙂

Here is a close up of the stag on the top shelf.  Isn’t he cute?  I put him in the 10$ wreath from ikea with the infamous target dollar spot skies to the right. And those trees I stole from my mom.. shhh… ; )

Well there wasn’t much a tour in there.  So deceiving I know!  I will try hard to take more pictures this week and add to this 🙂

Please let me know what you would all love to see and share with me your own stories and homes!!

Thank you!
