Christmas Decor 2023

Our halls have been decked for a few weeks now and I'm convinced there's nothing better.  GAH. I just love it all so much.  

I kept the mantel super similar to last year.  I layer a traditional garland with a drapey one from Hobby Lobby, toss in a TON of lights and then mixed in antique-looking ornaments and bells from a local boutique.

I use command hooks to hold everything on there.

The stockings are Nordstrom from several years ago with German glass glitter letters I've had for probably 15 years.  And yes... that's a jar of Cheez-Its. hahaha. 

The basket has a sweet copper container that I found at an antique mall filled with Christmas photos I had printed HERE.  The paper is cardstock-ish and the vintage feel is so good.

My friend Meagan gifted these sweet nutcracker embroidered cocktail napkins at our favorite things party...

... and in the little built-in niche I set out the nativity I got a couple of years ago.

Last year I added this tree and I love it so so so much.  I will never quit our big ol' family tree BUT it's super sweet that I get to have a "pretty" tree too.

It's all a combo of browns and golds - the ornaments are a mix of Anthropologie and Birds and Words (a local boutique) and you can find the tree  HERE. It's not pre-lit and I had a TON of lights to it - the shape is SO GOOD!

I. MEAN.

I tied in some of the same ornaments into this garland on the TV stand...

... adn kept the console table pretty simple with a bowl for Christmas cards and my moms mouse nativity.

My mom collected these years ago and I can remember picking them out for her for various holidays until she had the complete set.

The bowl is a huge antique cart iron wash basin that I adore.

And every year we just add cards to the collection.

Okay... this was way too many photos... SO I'll share the rest of the house tomorrow ;)  

HAPPY Tuesday, friends!!!
