Everyone loves a bit of
holiday decor, right?
Thanksgiving was good, but now it’s over and I spent part of my weekend decorating for Christmas!
Before I show you my Christmas decor, I’ll show you my Thanksgiving decor – I was in charge of decor as well as bringing bread pudding and mashed potatoes. The bread pudding never made it, because Marley ate all the bread while I was at the gym that morning :(. I was incredibly sad, since it’s my favorite dessert on Thanksgiving….but at least the decor was cute :).
This was our “thankfulness tree”.
Everyone wrote what they were thankful for and hung it.
“Fall bounty”
Now that Thanksgiving is over though, I broke out the Christmas decor. I like to decorate like I would any other time of the year, but just use more “holiday colors”.
{branches + moss + split peas}
{I love this little antique box of ornament hangers I found in our house.}
{Stockings – sewn by Craig – he’s got skills.}
{random gold balls from Michael’s + cranberries.}
{Mason jar I wrapped with yarn + Martinelli’s apple juice vase.}
{random tree clippings from my yard.}
{Wreath I finally finished today – started this last Christmas!}
{Subtley Christmas-esque bouquet courtesy of Trader Joe’s.}
{pine cones + my holiday cottage living – I miss this magazine :(.}
{dining area.}
{finger crochet garland + gold ornaments}
{my little treasure shelf – I told you I was a magpie!}
Hope I was able to provide you
with a little inspiration this morning!
Hope your day is lovely!

ooooo I LOVE Christmas I’m soooo excited for decorating…but i can’t do it before December for fear of divorce 😉
oh Lauren you have done so much, congrats it’s all very pretty! and Craig clearly has skills!
All your decor is so cute & classy! Luv it! 🙂
Would you mind sharing how you made your wreath? It is gorgeous!
So fun! I love your wreath!
your treasure shelf is pretty, and because it’s arranged neatly, you don’t look like a magpie at all! the only decorating i’ve done so far was my tree, but i’m going to make some scented glittery pinecones to put in a bowl on my coffee table. i also have some deer from the 40’s that grandma gave me that i’ll sit out somewhere.
i’m glad you shared your decorations, but i want to see more of your house!
love you pretty lady!
great job lauren…your house sure puts me in the christmas spirit!

I love your decor… I really need to work on getting more decor for our place.
I love the wreath and stockings!
Everything looks so cute and cozy! Bummer about the bread pudding…I can’t believe Marley at a whole loaf of bread, what a tasty treat for her!
So festive! I want to come over and see it all in person now. Perhaps for a crafty Sunday affair : )

So cute! I love the Martinelli’s apple juice container as a vase – I bought a bunch of those juice bottles just so I could use them as vases!
Everything looks amazing! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Great and interesting decorations!! I really adore that sign you have that says “All because two people fell in love” — very inspirational!
You are a decorating queen!!! Love that split peas idea… :]
love your thankful tree! such a great idea! love the wreath… was it hard to make? i’m thinking about making one, but not sure where i want to go with the design and all.
I love all of the decorations Lauren!! You guys are too cute!! Hugs my sweet friend! XO
I love the “fall bounty!” You have so many great decorating ideas. I totally went home on Sunday and made myself a little orange wreath like your green one.
Your decorations are cute. I’m glad you had a good Thanksgiving!
I love the wreath it’s gorgeous! How did you make it?
love love love!!! so fun 🙂
I like the idea of using normal things and just dressing them up a little bit so you don’t have a crap load of holiday decorations. You should post about how you did that wreath.
