Christmas decor

I've been meaning to post these pics for the past 2 weeks and here we are a few days before Christmas and I'm finally getting to it. There are quite a few so I'll keep the commentary to a minimum.

We kept it pretty simple in the living room - mostly silver and white with a bit of red from the garland and wreath.

Sometimes I pose them, sometimes they pose themselves :-)

This awesome moss wreath came from Pottery Barn's Christmas clearance pile in February. It looks a little brown in these pics but its a nice green color. I made the banner out of scrapbook letters, glitter and hemp twine.


I used the red berry garlands on the stairs again. Maybe next year I'll do something different.

Mercury glass trees and vases full of ornaments ... pretty.




I attached the felt wreath I made to a berry wreath to make a double wreath. That way I technically have 2 wreaths in the living room, not 3. Three would be overdoing it :-)

We put the tree in a new spot this year - its much better in that corner out of the way.

Usually we have a poster above the fireplace but we switched to a mirror (from the upstairs hallway) while the Christmas decor is up. I made the 'merry & bright' banner the same way as the 'happy holidays' one in the living room.

(I probably should have moved the dog's water bowl before taking pictures!)

Zoey's ornament to match the other pets' ones.

They look innocent but they are trying to figure out a way to go over and nibble on the tree without us noticing.
