Hello Friends !!

It’s Christmas time !! I’m just sitting over here singing to the top of my lungs ” IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEARRRRR !!!! ”

First let me say that my Christmas decor has been up since November 1st !! I know why so early? Well because I do holiday decor for some of my clients, I used to get to my decor last. That just didn’t work for me. So I started putting my Christmas up early. One because I knew that it would take me a little bit of time to do the decorating I love to do and two, I like to have Christmas decor up for Thanksgiving.

I love Christmas soooo much !! This time of the year just gives me all the feels ! For one, its Jesus’s birthday month and I get to share it with Him ! This is my birthday month too ! How awesome is that !! 

It’s also the time that I get to do what I love which is make our home extra beautiful ! Not that I don’t the rest of the year, but with Christmas just comes that extra flair ! 

Today I am showing you part of my Christmas decor. I decided to switch things up just a tad and go with traditional colors, but with a little twist. If you have been around for a while, then you’ll know last year, I was all about rustic glam. However, being in a new space, I wanted to switch things up just a tad. 

I decided to add the colors navy blue and rose gold and let me tell you how much I love it !!

I really didn’t want to buy all new stuff, but I did buy certain things like ornaments, ribbon and stockings. Our color palette in our home is pretty neutral. I knew I wanted to stick with that for Christmas, but add pops of color in and out. I also wanted everything to feel light and airy, almost as if you were in a cabin in the mountains, but with way more glam lol !!! I chose different textures and designs such as burlap, plaids and lots of gold glitter. I also chose smooth glass ornaments and glitter glass ornaments. Not only did I choose different textures, but patterns as well. Stripes and polka dots are pretty much where I live. I’m sure you can look at any design that I’ve done and you’ll see them and I am very pleased with how everything turned out ! My hubby was pleased too, so that was a double win !! Let’s jump into the family room !!

I am pretty sure I have told you how much I love deer right ?!? Well the obsession continues ! Dasher which is what we named him is my favorite this year. I tied a pretty bow around his neck just for a little extra ! All of the items that you see here I purchased at Michael’s ! They have had some really amazing sales !

As you can see, I carried the details from the tree on over into the garland ! I just love the choice of colors. Since red is very dominant, I only wanted a little splash of that throughout. I think it turned out well ! 

I think Dasher wanted a closeup !! 

 

I love to decorate Christmas trees ! I also love to put 3D elements into the tree. I purchased a brand new flocked tree this year and I love it so much ! You don’t have to do a lot to make the tree full because with the branches being flocked, it automatically makes them full ! Of course I was going to do a lot anyway LOL !! I purchased a couple of sleighs and some wooden decor to go inside the tree and I love the effect ! 

I decided to stick with a traditional bow topper this year. Not really sure why, that’s just what I felt like, so I went with it ! Maybe I was having all the feels being in the new house, because my style isn’t normally traditional, but I love the outcome of it !

When my children were born, we got them their first ornaments for Christmas and I still have them ! Even though the kids are 18, 14 ad 11 I still place them on the tree every year.

Here are a few other decor items. Some of them you may recognize from last year, but the chair is fairly new LOL !! 

I think that pillows are my love language, if there is such a thing !! I made these pillows last year with my trusty Silhouette

This cute pillow from the Target dollar spot, I got last year. It was a little plain, so I just took some sequined trim and glammed it up ! 

Speaking of pillows, I added to some of my existing decor that I already had. These pillows are from last year, but don’t be surprised if you look on my Instagram and see a few new ones that you don’t see here !! You just might lol !! I’m pretty sure you will !

I also added a little garland to the TV stand, but not too much. 

So there it is ! The first stop on Our Traditional with a Twist Christmas home tour ! I hope you love it just as much as we do!

I am just absolutely overwhelmed and super blessed that I get to share what I do and love with all of you ! Home is TRULY where my heart is and I love that you are with me and have been with me on this home loving journey ! I heart all of you !! Really !!

So since it is the 2nd of December, are any of you complete with your decor? 

Until next time

Love your homes and the people in them !
