Main Christmas Tree
Happy Saturday everyone! I hope all of you have had a wonderful thanksgiving holiday! I love the holidays because that means more food and extra time with the family! I have always enjoyed everything about Thanksgiving and Christmas!
One of my favorite parts about Christmas is decorating! As most of you know I graduated Liberty University with a degree in Interior Design. I am not a "interior" designer, but I design products/work sales for big companies all across the United States! Wayfair, Pottery barn, Bellacor, etc. I am constantly shopping/ looking for new trends online everyday as my job! So how can I not want to have the most up to date home when I work with trends everyday?
This year is the first year being married, and the first time decorating my own home (which makes it even more fun). I would consider my home/style farmhouse! So when decorating for Christmas I am not the girl who puts up the average green and red Christmas tree (there is nothing wrong with that). I always find myself trying to come up with the most unique Christmas tree styles. It is very hard when all most all of your house is white on the inside.
This year I wanted a farmhouse tree and that is exactly what I did. Let me tell you guys a little trick. Always, Always, Always buy big ornaments! Also, another trick is to buy a skinner tree that way it is simpler to decorate, and achieve that "look" you are going for. It is so important to truly stick with a theme. There are literally so many cute ornaments out there (aka targets selection) but that doesn't mean buy every ornament that you` think is cute. I always have to hold myself back. It's so important to stick with your theme, because one wrong color/style of an ornament will ruin your whole look.
Lastly, the more lights and ornaments the better! Sometimes you have to spend a little extra to make your tree look beautiful!
Mudroom Christmas Décor
Trying to plan for my Christmas home décor has been so fun! I believe my favorite room in the house would have to be the mudroom! I think it's a time to be unique and pretty traditional! I decorated this room with a "real" small tree, a sign from Kirklands that says "Merry Christmas", and a 1900's antique Boones mill T.M Wood box.
Decorating for Christmas was so fun this year and I hope you get to enjoy decorating as much as I did!
