I must admit,
that I am a rather reluctant holiday decorator...

It's not that I don't enjoy it...
because actually it's fun and it's always nice to pull out

I am concerned with overdoing

and creating something that might look sort of silly and busy...
sort of like putting too much icing on a cake!

I have had trees that were 15 feet high
and trees that have sat on a table top...
I even had a fake tree one year!

but now I am somewhere in between
most of my decorating this year
will be simple and natural
and easy to put up...which also means easy to take down!

I came across many of these photos from
which is full of great ideas
this tree is especially thoughtful and simple
...love the bucket!
...love the bucket!
somtimes all of the swags and ribbons and jingle bells make me dizzy,
but this house seems calm and warm
I like the smaller trees in the buckets too...is this a trend?
maybe so!
these images from House Beautiful photo archives are great ideas...
all purple ornaments and in a garden urn!
...very fun
another smallish tree in a bucket...yes...
definitely a bucket tree for me
Trina, from A Country Farmhouse
has her wonderful home in Oregon,
featured in this months Country Living...
Trina's style is so understated and personal
...I love everything about it!
here are a few more ideas, that might be
just the thing this year
those wood sock stretchers are so cleaver
lime green...hummm....love that too
the simple mantle is so pretty and yet very festive
great idea for stockings...
who says they have to go in front of the fireplace!
using things from nature is always a sure bet
the image below is amazing...the neutrals and then the
gold and shiny bling of the tree... wonderful!
snow...sigh
&
the pack basket and natural greens
I like the wreath hung low on the screen door too
this simple tree below is so perfect...and how easy to do
those big tall pine cones
in the urns are especially interesting
so what shall I do?...
maybe steal a little bit from each!
and hopefully no hee bee gee bee's
have a great weekend!
