I have been dragging the Christmas bins and boxes from here to there, carrying countless ornaments, garland and bows up the stairs, from the basement and placing all my favorite Christmas decorations in just the right spot. There is still a lot to do, but it has been fun and I am definitely in the Christmas spirit. I will share my decorations a little at a time, but I first I want to show just a little corner of my front porch.
I saw
this on Pinterest and decided to adapt it for a tabletop display. Using a basket I already owned, I filled it to the top with pinecones, greenery with berries and red and white Christmas ornaments. The addition of a burlap bow adds a rustic and welcoming touch.
This sweet birdhouse is a new find and I love everything about it, from the bright red color, to the snow on the roof. This tabletop display will welcome guests to my home this holiday season, along with the beautiful outdoor lights my husband has been working so hard on. Over the next few weeks, I can't wait to show you more of the Christmas touches I am making to my home.
Happy Tuesday!
