Oh What Fun It Is To… Decorate!

Today is the final day of the Oh What Fun It Is To… series and I’ve had such a blast visiting the hostesses and reading everyone’s posts. Today I’m linking up with Erin at Blue Eyed Bride to talk about holiday décor.

This is the first year I’ve decorated the whole house for Christmas. I’ve always intended to do it, but traveling, pregnancy, and a baby have prohibited me. I love Christmas decorations! They just make the house look so festive and joyful.

I mentioned earlier this week I put up multiple trees. I thought this was common, but when I mention it, someone people look at me like I’m crazy. We have four trees up this year, and my goal is eventually to have a tree in every room1

A few years back, I hit up the after Christmas sales and got two trees. Then I happened by Goodwill and found two more Target Christmas trees – new in box – for less than $20! Score!

*I apologize in advance for the terrible pictures. My mom messed with my camera this weekend and I can’t figure out how to restore the regular settings.*

Here is the living room tree. I have to confess my mom did the mesh and the bow since I am not capable in those areas.

The are not decorator perfect by any means but I love them. Smile

This is the first year that I have had a mantle, and I had so much fun decorating it for Christmas!

I’ve been drooling over that Santa picture for years, and I finally pulled the trigger on Black Friday. He’s standing with his sack on his back and has his finger to his lips telling you to “shhhh!”

This is an iPhone photo but it shows the detail a little better.

A few other odds and ends…

All the trees are great, I've always wanted to do different trees in different rooms. And I LOVE your mantle. I've got mantle jealousy issues, as we don't have a mantle. :-(

I have a small home so only one tree, but I can't wait to have a house with a big kitchen so I can have a tree there too. My Sister has 2 trees in her place.
I'm in love with your trees and the Santa picture, it's so festive!

I LOVE your bedroom tree. The leopard print ribbon is perfect! I also like the hall tree...so glitzy! :)
I may have to try having different trees next year as I have an entire Christmas shop in my garage! ;O
