Because some of us are older than most of the brides on the Knot, I thought it would be fun to share pictures of our "holiday homes" since we may have heirlooms or things that have special meaning at this time of year. Also, I love the holiday season and am always looking for inspiration for next year, LOL.
Above is my living room mantle (which I just put up this summer). All the candles are battery operated. I got the gold glitter letters at Walmart when I was looking for smallish stockings, which I never found anywhere. I think they look prettier and more delicate than stockings, and they are the letters of everyone in our combined families.
We redecorated the living room 18 months ago, in a shabby chic/beach cottage style. I always wanted to live in Malibu, and since I never will, at least I can feel like it in my living room LOL. I wanted a small narrow tree for that spot in front of the window and got this one last year. I spray painted shells in yellow and white, then glittered them because I'm anal and want my trees to match the room decor........I know, too much, right? The garland is a thin aqua feather boa that I got at a craft store near me. Below is a close up of the ornaments.
Come on ladies, show us your holiday cheer!
