Decorating for Christmas = Happy Holly

It is starting to look and feel like Christmas around these parts!! I love bringing out the Christmas boxes, looking through, unwrapping things that I forgot I had and falling in love again with old favorites. As always, I like to put a new spin on things so as to not get stuck in a decorating rut. Take a peek at how things are turning out this year.

I love anything and everything bottle brush.

Vintage shiny brites and tinsel. 

Our mantle this year. We still need to get a new stocking for Jon, but I'm happy with it mostly. 

Mantle details. I'm a sucker for mercury glass, silvers and blues.

Throw glitter on anything and I will buy it.

 My West Elm ball wreath. I still love last year's wreath more. 
Sorry for the view of our cars, they normally aren't all yard sale-ed out like that.

And finally, the entry table. Fake snow galore. 
And a picture from warm Costa Rica in our Christmas tree wreath to be a tad ironic.

Checking out my posts from last year, I think I def kicked things up a notch.

You are way, way better at Christmas decorating than me! I love this stuff, but I'm not so great at it... Part of the reason I can't wait to hop on the plane and go back to my parents' place. My mom's an interior designer, so it's always Chritsmassy perfection.

Everything is lovely! I am yearning for some awesome decorations this year as well . . . and given that my stash is lacking, I've just been baking to make up for it. YIKES! Last night I made Andes mint chip cookies and suffice to say they're too good to allow for self-restraint.

I'm gonna go to Michael's later today and get some ball ornaments! Lord knows I have enough Mason jars.

I LOVE your mantle! So pretty! I'm a sucker for silver and blues too. Now that you're done with your house, can you come give mine some extra cheer? It needs a bit more.
