Something fun today from me + Martha Stewart!
I love to play the "too early!" game whenever I spot Christmas decorations up in stores too soon after Halloween. Hello, Thanksgiving is to be appreciated. However! I also like to cozy my home up for the holidays as soon as humanly possible, especially once Daylight Savings Time ends and my home becomes a cave that could really use some extra cheer inside. It's a conundrum. And I do mean that sincerely, because look! You either take this kind of stuff seriously or you don't, and those that do, well, you know what I mean here.
So Martha + I (well, the Martha Stewart Living section at The Home Depot and I . . .) are teaming up today to show you a few early holiday decor ideas that are fully Christmas tested and Thanksgiving approved! It's exciting, I know! :)
My trick is wreaths. It is never too early for wreaths.
I love a wreath sans door, just for the heck of it.
In the kitchen, I love a more petite wreath, something a little less grand and a little more natural, plus cranberries.
(Bonus Diet Coke in the shot, whoops! :)
I don't have a mantel but I love this garland with it's soft blue-green pine. Don't you think Barry deserves a garland? The oversized lit kissing ball is also sweet. We'll pretend it's mistletoe ;).
A little sparkle on the way to the commode . . . nothing wrong with that ;)
I'll admit to moving the garland around a bit to find just the right spot. Because that's FUN.
There's no bad place for a garland.
Mission accomplished! Not too Christmassy, definitely full of cheer.
I love this idea! Wreaths and garland for Thanksgiving as well? Why not! So good, I might have to go for this myself.

Beautiful, I love the simplicity of it. I love the warmth of your home. So pretty! And on a side note, I haven't blogged in a while, I blinked and you moved back to Idaho. Can't figure out when that happened, but like I've said, I've been absent.
ReplyDeleteWho know Home Depot had such awesome holiday decor? I need that kissing ball!
ReplyDeleteHow have I never noticed the "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose" sign in your kitchen??? So Tammy Taylor of you, I love it! :)

Really inspiring - love all the wreaths!
ReplyDeleteOh Natalie, these are all beautiful!! Wishing I could afford them all!
ReplyDeleteI always thought of wreaths as strictly outdoors. We don't have a lot of space tabletop decorating so I've always been at a loss on how to cheer the place up. So simple to hang wreaths everywhere!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so inviting - great job!
ReplyDeleteCould you let me know where the green chair in the next to last picture is from? It's just what I've been looking for!
ReplyDeleteYour house is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNatalie! Where oh where can I find a "Captain's Quarter's" plaque like the one you have hung over the door to your bathroom? I have a sailor in mind it'd be perfect for this holiday!
ReplyDeleteHey Natalie, Where did you get that super cute BE KIND banner? Have a good day!
