interior inspiration : holiday decorating (part one.)












Yes, I know- it's pretty early to start the holiday-themed posts, but hey, it's only a few weeks until a lot of people start their decorating. And due to my couple weeks of being sick (can you believe I still have bad flu symptoms?), I have found myself emerged in old Christmas issues of magazines, which has gotten me all wrapped up in the holiday spirit. So please, bare with me and try not to throw too many "Bah Humbug"s my way.

It's not too early! I have been pining for the holidays for the last couple weeks. I can't wait for my tree, to decorate. I love it.

It's not too early! If I don't start thinking about it now, nothing will get decorated. :)

I don't think it's too early to make your home look nice and cosy, after all, that's all fall is about for me!
I have already put up a light garland on my desk! :)

What is too early, I think, is all the santas in the stores already. I wish it was less about buying and more about pretty this november...

Silvia said...

Very inspired ideas!

Whitney said...

I love it! I wish I had more space that needs decorating (live in a one bedroom with bf/cat, it gets tight.)

jo said...

I don't think it's too early! Sparkling lights and decorations are the best part of winter.

Love that first pic with all the trinkets! I wish there were a close-up so we could see what all is in there.

I am SO glad you posted these! I have had two of these images haunting me from last year, but I couldn't remember where I'd found them, and thus couldn't find them again. Now I know!!! Thank you!!

This is getting me excited for Christmas! I love the 'tree' on the white wall- made up of little Christmas decorations?

Melissa said...

Gorgeous photos! I can't wait to start decorating my house for the holidays. I especially love the fourth photo down with the "curtain" of white lights.
