Fall inspiration..

As you may remember things have been rather busy around here for us with 2 little ones and very little sleep so I am going to keep today's post short and sweet.. Here are some of the ways I decorated for fall in past years.. We are a little behind this year with everything going on but once I have our house 'Fall ready' I will be posting it ;). Happy decorating!

Rustic Christmas decor in our Basement

For our basement I kept with the Neutral Christmas theme but added some subtle touches of red. I  hung a red striped jute webbing garland off a antique Barn door.. Isn't this door amazing??..  This past summer I found a trio of doors with the glass still intact for $75 for all 3!! so I jumped at the deal even though I had no idea where they would go or how my hubby would react.. Thank goodness for free delivery ;) We originally had them outside leaned against our fence for the remainder of summer but we brought them in for winter.. 2 are hiding in storage and 1 is leaning against our walls behind this bench , I like the way it looks so much I may just keep it there!

For some sparkle, I hung a Vintage Glass ornament garland across our chicken wire Frame.

I filled a weathered wooden planter box full of an assortment of smaller metallic ornaments and placed it on our end table.

 

Behind our couch I placed a small Christmas Vignette using wooden 'Merry Christmas' blocks and two small trees with rustic wooden tree trunks.

I moved the large Burlap body pillow from our Fall Porch display indoors to this bench. I wrapped cream and red ticking stripe fabric around it and then added a bow.. It changed an ordinary pillow into something festive.. And the best part is I'm not locked into any colour scheme..I can change it up whenever I like this way;)

Our Neutral Holiday House Tour

I always like to decorate with Neutrals and Vintage Decor. So for Christmas it was no different.. I incorporated lots of Burlap, Jute and wood throughout our home for a very natural organic feel.. Shall we say French Country Rustic Christmas.. The best part about decorating with neutrals is most of the decor can stay up once the Tree comes down ;) To keep the all the neutrals interesting, I used lots of glittery accents mixed with subtle touches of Red and Metallics. Now our Home feels warm and festive .. ready for the holiday season ahead.

JOY Dollar Store Ornaments with a simple twist.

I was at the Dollar Tree the other day and found these cute Gold JOY glittered ornaments for $1.25 for 5! Our tree is mostly decorated with wood, burlap, jute and white ornaments.. Basically it's more neutral..So to make them flow with our decor, I thought why not just paint them? I painted them in Annie Sloan chalk paint in Old White. See below on how Our Christmas Tree looks now..

Adding Woven Jute Ribbon to Our Christmas Tree

Today is just a small post on my latest Homesense Holiday find.. A woven roll of 3 inch burlap jute trim on this great rustic wooden spool.. for only $5.99.. I honestly thought I was seeing things.. Plus it was 10yrds for under $6.. that's almost unheard of!!! When I first bought it I wasn't quite sure where it was going to go.. I just knew I NEEDED IT!! 

Our French Country Christmas Decorating Sneak Peek!

It snowed here today for the first time so I felt it was appropriate to share a sneak peek of our Home's holiday decor. It's a mix of French country inspired, Rustic decor. When decorating I try to always use more natural materials for a casual look... So for Christmas it was no different. I used a mix of Greenery, Wood, Wicker, Burlap and Jute. Then to soften all the wooden accents and increase the holiday feel I added touches of Metallic, like Gold and Silver with go-to classics like red and white. See below for more details.

This is just a sneak peek on Our Christmas Decorating Ideas for this year and what I will be posting over the next few weeks.. It was way too many picture's for 1 or even 2 posts.. So I will be breaking down each post to individual rooms for a more in depth tour of our home. Stay tuned for the Full Reveal. If you missed our Previous Home's Christmas decorating, you can see it here.

Here is a quick peek of our Tree decorated in neutral holiday decor wrapped in a Rustic Wicker Star Vine Garland. For a Tree base I used a antique galvanized tin bucket with a Ruffled Burlap and Muslin Tree skirt to complete the look.
