A Little Bit of Christmas at Our House

Not going to lie...I did not put 100% effort into decorating for Christmas this year. We aren't hosting any parties at the house and my schedule has been so full that it just wasn't a huge priority. Nonetheless, I still did a tiny bit of trimming...

In the den, I got out my mini white tree that has cute little turquoise and silver ornaments...



And a huge wreath hangs over the mirror...it was hard to get a good pic of this but it looks really pretty at night because of the reflection. I used large frosted globe lights from Target.

In the front, I used a lit magnolia garland and waxed pinecone wreath...

Birch spray...

The way-too-skinny tree and some cinnamon pinecones...

I'll confess that I didn't even get out all of the ornaments...such a Grinch, right?? I did put my favorites on the tree though, including this hand-blown glass one...

So there is Christmas-lite at the Knight house! Nothing too exciting or elaborate. Next year maybe I'll do better when I'm not preoccupied with pool construction drama!

What about your holiday decor...did you go all out this year? Buy anything new?

  3. No grinch on your end. Your 50% effort is still better then most people's 100% effort! It looks beautiful, Kyle.

  8. I love the simplicity, especially of "Christmas" colors not taking over the place.

    Merry Christmas Kyle!

    Cheers,
