simple christmas ideas i love

The countdown begins…

less than one month until Christmas,

so with that being said,

keeping my Christmas décor simple, 
is always a great idea. 

Less stress, more fun!

A pretty wreath on the door is always a welcome sign,

but how about enjoying one on the inside 

of your front door too? 

I love this idea... 

It's so cheery!

Changing out artwork for a wreath

is a great way to add instant holiday magic to a mantel.  

A few fresh evergreen branches arranged throughout

a chandelier is another super easy way to add holiday charm.  

I do this every year in my dining room and kitchen nook. 

Don’t have time to iron a table cloth?

Use a few pretty plaid throws instead!

Use a long runner on the kitchen table and

display your favorite bottle brush trees and holiday cottages…

and adding battery operated twinkle lights

really brings the whole look together! 

And every place setting should have a touch of green...

just a little clipping of juniper or a spring of rosemary are perfect!

There are so many realistic-looking faux garlands out there,

that embellishing your mantle or banister is a no-brainer!

And you know you won’t have as many pine needles to

clean up off the floor as you would with a real garland!

Here’s another simple chandelier swag, 

and just look at that kitchen!

What do you think of the rustic cabinets?

I love this look with the mossy bowl full of vintage glass ornaments.

So easy J

My favorite ornaments are my vintage ones,

because they always add so much character to the tree.

I like to keep my wrapping simple, and that means all the paper is coordinated and all the ribbons and trimmings are too.

Don’t forget to add a little holiday charm to your kitchen.

A little goes a long way!

I love the idea of setting up my dining table in the living room

to really enjoy the full effect of the Christmas tree, fireplace and gifts!

Well now I'm off to do a little cyber shopping,

toodeloo!

ciao! fabiana
