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!

Comment FALL to get the links! (& find more inspo!) 

Guys!! I’m so happy right now I’m about to cry! The cuteness factor is off the charts!! I’m so excited to see our vision for our fall porch come together complete with pumpkins from the pumpkin patch!! 

And can we talk about Louis in his adorable fall sweater?! And the wreaths (they are faux!!!) and the lanterns and the flickering pumpkins?!!! 

If you could die from cuteness overload I’d be a goner! Hahaha but thankfully it looks like I’ll be holding on for a few more days and greeting our kids as they come home for fall here and it won’t be long and this will be getting a little Halloween overlay for trick or treaters! 

To me, these are the greatest moments of life. Creating a home that says “welcome home!” I hope in our own little way we can inspire you as well! As always, sending so much love from our home to yours! XxV
