CHRISTMAS DECOR: HOLIDAY ACCENTS
I believe the little things matter when it comes to decorating. And in the little things, I mean Holiday accents. I’ve always gone with simple accents because I plan on having the Christmas tree become the main attraction. My aha moment was to add anything that screamed Christmas to me, such as pieces like candles, garlands, mini houses, bottle brush trees, and more. With these decorations, and tons more, you will be able to create the Winter wonderland you dreamt of as a kid.

You see, I kind of went crazy with these decor pieces, but the more, the better. Whether you are designing a look like mine or creating a whole look of your own, I hope these decorative accents helped you generate some inspiration!

CHRISTMAS DECOR: CHRISTMAS TREE
Finally, it’s time to decorate the tree! Since my kids are allergic to real trees, I have to use faux ones. But no need to worry. Fake Christmas trees are just as beautiful. I always tend to choose white trees because they look best in my home. Now let’s get to decorating! As you can see, my vision for this Holiday look was full of pink hints here and there, along with gold, silver, and white mixed in as well. Here are some of my favorite ornaments, along with accessories such as stars, twinkle lights, and garlands that will complete this gorgeous sight!

Who knew pink could become a Christmas color? Last-minute, when I decided on pink, I never thought it would look this stunning. Plus, the gold, silver, and white decorations like ornaments ended up helping me turn this pink fantasy into a glowing dreamland.

CHRISTMAS DECOR: LIGHT SHOW
Don’t you just love this time of year? Driving through the neighborhood, looking at all of the Christmas lights, it’s truly something magical. That’s what my family and I do. We love to admire the lights on every house and how sometimes you can see the silhouette of someone’s Christmas tree in their home. Since the light shows that Christmas creates a smile on my face, I tend to go all out with my light decorations every year. My inspiration for this particular look was designing a soft sparkle that wasn’t too bright but enough to make a restful scene to hang out in a while indoors from the cold weather. Here’s a sneak peek of the pieces that went into creating the perfect glow for the Holidays.

Now that you have gone through one of my favorite Christmas Home Tour Ideas, how will you decorate your home? Don’t worry, and there’s still so much time to think of an idea. In the meantime, have a spooky but safe Halloween this weekend, and I look forward to whipping up those traditional recipes for Thanksgiving!
I mentioned this earlier, but seriously, when is the right time to listen to Christmas music? For me, I tend to hear it in stores around the middle of October. But for my daughter, she listens to Holiday jams all year round. When do you listen to Christmas music? Some of the songs bring back so many memories of when my kids were young, and well, it’s hard not to listen to the oldies but goodies.
Now that you know my guilty secret of listening to Holiday music in October, stay tuned for more Christmas blog posts full of recipes, decor, and crafts coming your way!

Hi Sharon!
Thanks so much for your sweet comment! I’m happy you like my Saturday Post! And yes, I’m always collecting more decor, and it’s fun to add a few things every year. Although this year, I need to purge a few things. I wish we all could do an exchange of ornaments! Now that would be so much fun. 🙂

With your poinsettias, it looks like you have two blooms in one container, but the ones you link are one stem rooted in a foam base (not loose). How did you arrange them to get the fuller look? Thanks!

Hi Lori,
My poinsettia is a real one, and we linked it to a faux plant. Maybe buy some other flowers and add them to the fake plant? When possible, I love real poinsettias, but I know that’s not always possible.
