I am slowly starting to put out the holiday decor already. We have had some snow here and freezing temps, and it has me feeling like Christmas is quickly approaching! I have found that putting all the decor out at once tends to overwhelm me, so have started putting out the bigger items (trees, garlands, wreaths) early, and then follow with the smaller items (pillows, knick knacks). One important thing with bringing out the holiday decorations, is be sure to put away an item of decor you usually have out – avoid the clutter!!

I am sharing two decor themes today – gold/elegant and traditional/red. Do you tend to gravitate towards one style? I tend to mix both. My usual decor is more elegant with pops of gold, but I can’t get away from incorporating traditional reds and plaids in with the holiday decor.

Over the next couple weeks I will be sharing different rooms of the house and how I have them decorated for Christmas – stay tuned!!
