Yesterday I hauled out my over-abundance of Christmas decorations and
got to work decking the halls. This year, I stuck to subtle colors and
lots of burlap for a simple woodsy feel.
When it comes to home decor, I've always liked bright colors. But I
literally woke up one morning a couple of weeks ago and wanted all the
bright colors in my house to be replaced with olive, gray and burlap
textures. So in keeping with my new-found obsession with all things
neutral, I spray painted our silver JOY stocking holders with a dark
oil-rubbed bronze.
Even though I'm still really proud of the stockings I made for us last
year, there's a small part of me that's bothered by the bright red
chevron. I'm wishing they were lined with a dark olive and I'm actually
debating making new ones - something I swore I'd never do again.
Stockings are not fun to make. And who knows what I'll like next year.
There's going to have to come a point where we use the same stockings
year after year for the simple sake of tradition. And don't even get me
started on Simon's flashy stocking. I am literally going to make him a
new one. It's just time.
I
love the warmth Christmas decorations add to our home. I always wish
they could stay up year round, but I guess if they did, they wouldn't be
as special.
