Christmas Decorating Ideas

Christmas Decor Ideas

I’ve been so busy that I don’t know whether to sit or spin.

Where does that phrase come from anyway?

While I get all of my photos edited for my recent projects . . . and I mean all . . . I thought you might enjoy some holiday decorating inspiration that caught my eye this week.

These ideas come from my Pinterest decorating board. Please click thru to the original source for all of the details so you don’t miss a thing.

Think wreaths are only to adorn doors? This post will make you think again with so many lovely ways to display wreaths.

What a beautiful twist on decorating a stair railing! Loving the cocoa tones too. Simply yummy.

Rustic Glam is a wonderful decorating juxtaposition for the holidays. Tutorial for those painting those fabulous candle holders too!

I’m not looking forward to actual snow here, but wouldn’t it be fun to bring the frosted look inside? If only I had my ice skates from . . . 50 years ago or so.

And if I had my old trike . . . okay, so I’ve been reminiscing a bit. Isn’t that what we do around the holidays?

Blues and greens might not be traditional holiday colors but they could certainly become one with this stunning ornament mantel garland. Click thru for the tutorial.

Decorating unexpected objects adds holiday cheer throughout the house. Isn’t this mirror magnificent?

They called these Holiday Pomanders. I’d never heard of them but I gotta admit that I love the idea of creating an elevated display of ball ornaments mixed with leaves and branches.

This festive swag is a pretty alternative to the front door wreath, dontcha think?

This is an elegant mantel treatment using the underside of magnolia leaves, some cones and damask ribbon. Simple, yet stunning.

Alright, that’s enough goofing off for me. I’m back to my own decorating, if I can find my way through totes, ribbon and freshly clipped holly and cedar branches.

How about you? Have you started decorating? Or do you wait until after Thanksgiving?
