Ideas for Holiday Decorating

Christmas is coming soon and I know that for the most part all of our homes are decorated. But I still love getting new ideas and seeing new projects that people put together. Also, we all know that I love lists! Victoria Magazine just published a list for holiday ideas and I just wanted to share a few….

1) Offer a warm welcome to visitors…..
Have your guest open the door to beautiful decor and fresh greenery. I will have to try this.

2) Follow a color palette that speaks to you….
For the last few years, I have really been drawn to red. And now since I have been collecting blue and white that color palette has been added to my Christmas decor.

3) Illuminate your environs
Christmas lights and candle light bring softness to our homes and space.

4) Honor cherished collections
Grouping family heirlooms and treasures together gives some families comfort and joy.
5) Display favorite ornaments
I love pulling out our favorite Barbie ornaments each year. I started collecting these when my daughter was one. She said that she will always treasure these.

I really loved these ideas and found some new ways of adding some more special ideas to our home for the next holiday season. If you would like to read the rest of the article you may see it here.
Enjoy!!!
