Rustic Elegance

Thanks everyone for your super nice comments on our living room yesterday. It is the room in our house I'm the least happy with, so thanks for the encouragement:)

Phew, TGIF!!! Uh oh though, this means our annual holiday party is going down exactly 2 weeks and 1 day from now! (Usually we have it the weekend before Christmas, but this year we had to change the date and are doing it way early.) That is not much time to get everything done. So, I'm starting today with a holiday decor post..which means I can also link up to Melissa of The Inspired Room's Holiday Linky Party. Head over there to check out lots of holiday projects, pics and posts:)





Here are some inspiration pics that speak to my holiday decorating style. I love using natural greenery and I don't like to do much to it, just let it be. Wreaths, garland, berries, boxwood, branches. I also love using metallic at Christmas time...silver, gold, copper, bronze and especially mercury glass. Mixed with white. And some rustic, organic brown elements. Plus paper, I love paper. With its unlimited possibilities of color, pattern, sheen, texture, its perfect to use at the holidays. Doesn't take much to make me happy:)












Thanks for hosting, Melissa! And have a great weekend everyone!

  9. I've been wanting to change my Christmas decor over to something more natural and when I saw these in the BHG magazine, I thought they were reading my mind. I each picture. Beautiful.

    I wanted to tell you thanks so much for your help! ;)

    Have a great weekend!

  10. Love that quiet white space with hits of greenery and just enough sparkle. My house is pretty much a riot of color all year 'round so Christmas just adds more!
    I mentioned your upcoming Mood Board Monday on my blog today... along with another you might be interested in. Come have a look!
