Today I am linking up for Let's Look. I am sharing my Christmas home decor with you.
I usually decorate the second week of November, but will wait until Thanksgiving Day to decorate the tree and turn on any outside lights.
Our front door
It is fun each year to put things in new places. This year, I put these two small clay nativity scense I bought while living in Bogota, Colombia.
Our dining room
In our window ledge, I have my "International Tree". On this tree, I have all my ornaments collected while living in South America, with a few other ornaments from other countries like England, France, and Thailand.
Sweet childhood handprint Christmas trees from years past of our girls are displayed, along with a basket I added of past received Christmas cards organized by years.
I have my nativity set my parents bought me 25 years ago from Isreal displayed on the bottom of this end table. I have actually left this out year round! I did add the touches on the top shelf along with a Christmas candle that I burn each night.
I have just a few Christmas pillows displayed as well.
Every year, I display this felt stocking I made as a kid for my grandfather. I remember being sad he didn't have a stocking so I made this one. My precious grandfather passed away in 1989, but I have still displayed this every year.
I was inspired by Jennifer to add wreaths on my cabinets. I found these two small ones, bought some Christmas ribbon and hung them last week.
I have a Christmas towel, soap and candle in our guest bath.
This is a door hanger my mom made when I was a child. I hang it on a door going into our guest bedroom/bath area.
We have this mistletoe hanging at the doorway from our bedroom to our bathroom.
And I added some lighted garland to our headboard for a more festive look.
That wraps up the highlights of our decor. I do have a small table top tree upstairs, Christmas soaps in our bathrooms and a few other Christmas touches on our back porch, but those are simple touches.
It is always fun to decorate and thanks for sharing along with me today!
Everything looks beautiful and I love the wreaths on your cabinet! Isn't it amazing how something so small can add such a big statement? I love the idea. I love that door hanger your mom made for you! I would be so tempted to leave that out all year, as well as your pretty nativity scenes from around the world. What a treasure those are! Thanks for sharing your home with us!
ReplyDeleteI am adding small wreaths to my kitchen cabinets this year too. I will get those up this weekend. I love the look of yours.

What nice decorations! I like your international tree! We have a travel tree where we display all the ornaments we've picked up from places we've traveled. It's so fun to look back and remember all the places we've been!
ReplyDeleteThose wreaths on your cabinets look lovely! I think your grandfather's stocking is one of the sweetest stories I have heard. How sweet that you still have it.
