The halls have been decked in our home and it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. The cooler temperatures have finally reached Florida and we’ve gotten cozy by the fire with our hot cocoa and peppermint schnapps. Being that we are in a temporary habitat, I went fairly minimal on the decorations this year, but still extremely happy with the way they turned out. So without further ado, come inside…
My Mom had some nice decorations already around the house (we’re living in her house) and so I utilized what she already had and then just added some fresh garland and the pretty 3 foot table top tree. I kept the tree very simple with just a couple strands of white lights and some really beautiful sequined flowers she had already and then I bought a few little fun balls and decor that I could just place in the tree to make it pretty. I do love the lime green and red decor together.
The mantel is simple, but turned out nice. We Christmas tree on the bottom left has slots cut in it to place your Christmas cards. It’s so cute.
Since we are at my Mom’s house, I had a lot of fun going through her old pictures of us with Santa. It was so cute seeing them. I am so excited to get Brody’s picture with Santa this year and I hope I do a good job of keeping all his pictures through the years. It does make it fun to be able to display them later. Here are some of me and my brothers.
And one picture of Brody dressed up as Santa too 🙂 I did put a few cute Christmas things in his nursery too, but I haven’t finished or taken pictures yet.
I’m linking up with Megan and Courtney today for the O’Christmas Tree Holiday Cheer in the Blogosphere link up.
I’m also linking up with Jessica, Ashley, Nancy, and Allison for the Christmas Decorations link-up today.
Everything looks great girl! I LOVE the garland on the staircase, I need to get some ASAP.
Thanks Laurie! I do love the fresh garland. It smells so good!
Can you come do my house now? thanks!
Haha thank you! It's always a hassle to start but once you get started, it's so much fun and makes you so happy!
YAY for the cooler weather in FL! Your decorations are gorgeous! I especially love the garland…I'm trying to master that as we speak! 🙂
Thanks for linking up with us!
Thanks Jessica! Appreciate y'all hosting the link up! I loved your DIY yarn letters! So cute!
I'm swooning over your front door decorations. So gorgeous! Love the garland going up your stairs, too. Nice job, lady!
Thanks Khala! The poinsettias make it so simple and pretty!
I love the fireplace! I would just love to have something like that in my house, especially when its -3 degrees out!
This fireplace is gas with a simple on/off button and it makes sitting by the fire so simple. We love it and it looks so real and puts off great heat!
Everything looks so cozy! I bet seeing all the Christmas decorations is making you so excited to decorate your new place. Looks gorgeous!
I know, Emily! It kills me that we won't be in the new house for Christmas but it will just make next Christmas that much more fun to decorate!
Those poinsettias are STUNNING! SO full and bright. I love them!
Thanks for linking up with us!
I love that your tree only has big items on it instead of a bunch of small ornaments. Such a great change from the traditional tree!
Beautiful! So fun and festive!
I love how you can see the tree from the entryway- so festive! Thanks for linking up Annie!
