Simple Christmas Decorating

‘Yes we need a little Christmas, right this very minute

Hasn’t snowed a single flurry

But Santa dear, we’re in a hurry

… For we need a little music

Need a little laughter

Need a little singing, ringing through the rafter

And we need a little snappy

Happy ever after

Need a little Christmas now’

I think this year, probably more than any other, that’s how we’re all feeling right about now

We need a little Christmas right this very minute!

I know a lot of people who already have their trees up and have totally decorated their homes for Christmas.

And I say ‘Yes!! Go for it!’

We need a little Christmas!

But what if you’re in the middle of a remodel??

And your house looks like this?

And this??

Seriously, should I hang a wreath on this??

Should I just skip the Christmas decorating altogether??

I don’t think so!

Or what if you’re not ready to go all Clark Grizwold just yet?

Well here’s what I’m doing…

I’m taking it slow

And putting up little touches here and there

Of simple Christmas decorating

In the finished areas of my home

One of my favorite looks right now are simple, subtle wreaths

In the bedroom I just added a little fresh juniper to the grapevine wreath

And it’s instant Christmas!

And I made a really simple wreath out of a ring from a tomato cage, some jute twine and sprigs of juniper

I’ve never met a piece of furniture I didn’t want to paint. Read about the strangest thing I’ve ever painted HERE

And the entry wall looks like it’s ready for the party

And as other areas get completed (I’ve requested that the living room be done by Thanksgiving weekend!)

Then I’ll add a little simple Christmas decorating in those areas too!

I’ve always said that living in a remodel is not for sissies

But the holidays are extra hard

Because I want so badly to decorate and make it beautiful

But how do you decorate rooms that are under construction??

Do you know how to fold fitted sheets? See a tutorial HERE

Well, I’ve got a few ideas

So stay tuned
