Adorable Holiday Decorating Ideas

Christmas decorating.....to be honest I am not a big fan. It could be all those years ago at Ethan Allen as a visual merchandising manager where I had to put up and decorate 8 trees along with 35 rooms or the fact that it can sometimes take over a house. Now that I have a house and a Christmas loving family of my own there is no getting around it and secretly I have enjoyed it this year! My favorite way to decorate is finding sweet little unexpected nooks to bring a little cheer to....in my opinion a little can go a long way! Here are a few of my favorites from the fabulous BHG!

I am in love with these houses and will be on the hunt where to buy them or if I am super ambitious make them! They would be a favorite year after year!

 

A nook which might not receive too much attention is the perfect place for holiday cheer and an adorable little tree!

How fabulous is this idea?! Take ornaments and turn them into lovely little vases. Personally I would use them as placecard holders and let each guest take theirs home!

Thanks to Pinterest for giving me so many great decorating ideas this year and putting a bit more holiday cheer into my life!! My Holiday boards has a few more of my favorites check it out here.

At times the creative people in the world truly blow me away! How adorable are these ribbon reindeers! When Ashley and I stumbled upon Ribbonesia in the office yesterday we were ohhh and ahhh all afternoon long.

The sweetest reindeer! Can you believe how they have worked this ribbon? So intricate!

Honestly if I wrapped my presents like this I would never want anyone to open them!!
