It's not too early to start thinking about decorating for the Holidays. With Thanksgiving just around the corner and Christmas following next month, Pottery Barn is always a great source of inspiration for making our nests more pretty, the natural way. Last year, I really got inspired to use more natural elements with my Christmas decor and this year, I plan to do the same.
Here are a few inspiration pics to get you in the mood for the holidays.
Birch tree planters make a nice accent on the mantel.
And this beautiful moss wreath would be easy to make. Just grab a bag of reindeer moss and a hot glue gun.
(All above pics from Pottery Barn online)
And this inspiration pic is from my own Christmas files from last year. Here are a few things to get you started for decorating naturally this year:
- Pinecones from the yard or neighborhood. Leave them as is or you can paint them in metallic colors of silver or gold and add a little glitter. It's a fun way to add some natural beauty and glitz.
- Acorns from the yard.
- Mixed whole unshelled nuts from the grocery store are a great accent too. Toss them in an apothecary jar for a natural accent to your holiday tables.
- Moss wreaths and topiaries
- Boughs of holly and pine
- Magnolia leaves
- Dried hydrangeas from those summer months
Hope this has given you some ideas to mull over and get you geared up for a naturally decorated Thanksgiving and Christmas.
