Christmas Ideas 2016 For Every Budget + Style

December 9, 2016 · In: Interior design

Christmas Decorating Ideas 2016
Ready for a dose of Christmas Ideas 2016?  Here we go!

You’ve just closed on your house and your entire life is still packed in boxes.  What’s the first thing you do?  Decorate the Christmas tree! … Or if you are my husband, you go outside and start throwing lights at bushes… while you wife yells at you that she would like to find her shoes before decorating, but then sneaks off and throws a wreath and garland at the door.

What?  You aren’t crazy like us?  

Christmas is pure magic.  Well, mostly.  Sure, it’s expensive and the kids’ wish lists make you feel wholly inadequate as a provider, but dog gonnit’, whether you have just closed on your house, you are thinking about moving in the spring, or you’ve been there forever and ever, amen, there’s just something special about the season.

It’s the shouts of joy, the twinkle in their eyes, and all those cookies that make you do it over and over again.

I’ve been seeing SO much inspiration about the internet these days.  I had to share some of my favorites with you!  I’ve got some great ideas, some budget friendly DIY’s, and, of course, cookies!!

Go crazy and make adorable cut out cookies.  I love the snow globe cookie cutter!  SO cute!

Already voting for an ENDLESS FALLand it’s just Already voting for an ENDLESS FALLand it’s just getting started!! 🍂 🎃 

Comment FALL to get the links! 👏🏽 🍁 

Guys! Fall is here and I’m enjoying this year more than any before!! The leaves are just starting to change and even as I watch one little lonely leaf falling, the excitement and anticipation of the fall spectacle of leaves is making me jump up and down! 

I know! So silly but it’s just so beautiful, isn’t it?! I love the warmth, the coziness, the soup bubbling on the stove, the warm candlelight flickering in the evening light, the pumpkin cakes baking in the oven, the long cozy nights spent cuddling on the couch under the fur blankets (and laughing as someone sticks their cold toes on the other’s leg! Ewww hahaha) 

I’m 1000% here for it and I’m soaking up every single second!!!

I hope you are enjoying the season as well! 

Sending a big hug and a kiss for each cheek! XxV

Comment FREE for more tips, styling hacks (& links if you want them, too!) 

Guys!! If there’s one thing I love about decorating - it’s decorating for free! Your backyard (or even front yard!) are full of great decor! Nature walks become a treasure hunt and your world inside your home can reflect all the beautify of the outdoors. 

Your vessels, vases, bowls, trays… they all become art with these additions!

But why stop there?! What about the food you eat? Bowls of nuts, trays of dried fruit, vessels overflowing with butternut squash and pumpkins?! Eeekkk! It’s all so beautiful! It’s such an honest way to create seasonal decor while also making seasonal living even better! 

Your books? Don’t leave them sitting crammed on a shelf! Open them up to a favorite page that inspires you to live well and even what’s on the menu this week!

The best things in life really are free and you wouldn’t believe the things you can use to create these magnificent moments of joy in your life!

The only question now is… should we make butternut squash chili, butternut squash soup in sourdough bowls or roast them with maple & brown sugar? 

Love you all! XxV

They have a tremendous impact on our mood, so why not set the mood for all your dreams to come true?! 

Starting with a plan helps you have a road map which is why we share our mood boards. We hope they will inspire you- even spark inspiration- to create your life and your dream rooms! We even do it on a budget!

Comment TREE to get the link!!! 🎄 ✨ 

Sorry to break from fall for a minute but the Grand Duchess is BACK IN STOCK!! I waited a year to get mine last year and they sold out so fast that I couldn’t get more for our own home or projects so I already bought two more!! They are WORTH THE HYPE!! I’m tearing up just thinking about how pretty it is with the twinkling lights (& Jack is trying to convince me to put them up now! Haha!)

But seriously, this tree is 1/5 of the price of the designer versions and is truly exquisite!

Ok! I’ll stop talking so you can go get yours!  Yipppeeeee!!!!!
