“I’ll be home for Christmas,” sings the crooner. “You can count on me…”

Because Christmas at the Warren house is a Really Big Deal, you can count on me pulling out all the stops to create a magical setting for our family Christmas!

Come right on in and see for yourself the BEFORE and AFTER transformations!

Before

After: this year I’m really focusing on neutrals and natural elements. (Must. Have. Vintage. Signs.)

Before

After: in the kitchen, simple greenery and a garland with vintage Christmas card accents. Sweet.

Before

After: more greenery on the banister, with pops of red in the ribbon and farmhouse sign. And remember my holiday decorating tip about “using what you have”? I just left up the shadowboxes of my boys’ baby clothes, because I love the sweet memories they evoke, and they echo my Christmas signs about family. (Check back later for more on my vintage Santa collection!)

Before

After: I’m so enchanted with this less-is-more approach: simple wooden pieces, some greenery and an accent of red, especially a red vintage item!

Before

After: do you like to decorate EVERY ROOM for the holidays? I DO! But how easy is this: more simple greenery and pops of red. I’m seeing a theme here…

Before

After: greenery, red, neutrals. Done!

Can you tell decorating for the holidays is one of my favorite things to do? If you’re in the Dallas area and wishing the Christmas fairy godmother would come to your house and decorate with YOUR treasures, I MAY have a booking left if you contact me right away!

Let’s talk!

Our family Christmas memorabilia–Santa photos and Christmas frames–is just mixed in with all my quirky and eclectic collections. What do you always include in your holiday decor? Treasured childhood ornaments? Embroidered stockings? Grandma’s pie plate?
