it's all about the hospitable home
Love Magnolia leaves to decorate the house for Christmas, as it is so very Southern.
My Southern Christmas mantel of Magnolia leaves
was the first thing on the agenda for creating my Christmas decor this year.
It seems like styling the mantel is always the first thing that I do,
setting the tone for the room’s decor.
I really kept it very simple this year. Truly, I did. I even surprised myself!
Our Great Room Christmas mantel this year
is probably the most simplistic mantel that I have created.
I promised myself this year
that I am really going to downsize my Christmas decorations.
I did give many boxes of Christmas ornaments, florals and decorations
along with a couple of trees to Habitat last year.
However, I did keep these little trees!
In our Media Room, I usually have a tree that is specifically designed
for my granddaughter each year.
It has always been themed with something that she particularly loved during the year . . .
~ ~ like the year she was into Tinkerbell and dressed as her on Halloween.
However, this year, we placed a small tree . . . a very small tree in her room. . .
~ ~ the space that she has in our house in which she has requested more pink be added.
I did not plan a tree in the media room this year; however, I could not help myself!!
