Christmas 2018

As some of you may know, we always put our Christmas decor quite early (as in mid November). I dreamed of decorating for Christmas when we were house hunting. Every house we viewed I thought to myself  “what would this space look like at Christmas?” I went with a minimal look. Neutrals mixed with rose gold & a bit of red. 

We had a heck of time getting our lights to work & then finding the right color of lights for our tree. But that’s the stuff that makes it fun, right? I just couldn’t justify tossing our tree & buying another one (do you know how long those things sit in a landfill, yikes!) So with our tree in the corner of the living room, a simple garland over the fireplace with eucalyptus & bottle brush trees, fresh cut greenery for the tabletop & some twinkle lights I was good! 

I finally purged all tree decorations that had been sitting in my storage boxes for years. It felt great to pass along what was no longer serving me.
