Deck the Halls

Interiorholic

The holidays are full of decorating and decking the halls. In our house, the merriment begins Thanksgiving weekend when we cut down our tree and begin decorating the house both inside and out. As much as I adore decorating the inside of our house, decorating the outside is equally important. Sharing the joy of the season with our guests and neighbors is all part of the fun to me. These are some of my favorite decked out homes for the holiday season.

Simple but beautiful. Wood letters, ice skates, a simple wreath and a basket filled with pine cuttings, mittens and a plaid scarf say holidays in a cozy way.

Mercury hanging ornaments, lanterns scattered about, twig trees and swag, meld traditional and rustic decorating perfectly. My favorite is the door ornament made with pewter pitchers strung from a ribbon.

Fill empty planters with tree trimmings, branches, pinecones and ornaments for an easy festive display. Add string lights to highlight it at night.

Setting for Four

Glass vases filled with "snow", cranberries and votives are an inviting way to herald in your guests. Boughs of greenery add texture and color.

I cannot wait to begin decorating for the holidays. Natural elements, pine wreaths, greenery and everyday items can make for an amazing display. Try out some new festive displays. They may just become a new tradition.

Happy Holidays!
