a lack of holiday decor
This year I have very mixed feelings about decorating my home for the holidays. For the first time ever I looked into my 4 plastic tubs of holiday decor and was not excited. It seemed tired and dated. (or maybe I was feeling tired and dated ;)
I am leaning towards a cleaner, more sparse decor that has a more natural feel. Don't get me wrong, I will still drape my front door and side portico in fresh pine garland and string lights on the 2 large boxwoods framing the front door and hang wreaths on the front windows but inside is feeling different.
It all started with the green, woodland feather trees I got into the gallery a few weeks ago. And perhaps the slice of wood log that I have sitting on my dining room table with the pinecones and copper wire lights that have influenced me.
I am patiently awaiting a new shipment of feather trees and these I will put on my mantel. But I see 2 on one side (large and medium staggered) and then some glass votives but thats it. A cleaner, simpler look. Stay tuned for the finished product!
I did go for the Hot cocoa Bar on a side counter in my kitchen (saw one on Pinterest) and that makes me...and my kids....so happy.

I used one of our tart pan chalkboards for the sign and 2 leftover black oval cut outs to label the cocoa and marshmallow jars. I have a set of 6 William Sonoma snowman mugs that I bring out every December and they are the perfect size.
It's a beginning and with things at the gallery kicking into high (holiday) gear it may be a while till we get any further.
