The Finishing Touches

Here are the finishing touches for our home this Christmas.  I wanted to incorporate more color but ending up with mostly red, green, white and gold accents.  I posted here about a wreath I planned on making but ran out of time so I came up with the above. As for the bow on my front door wreath, I tried this online tutorial and still couldn't figure it out!  Any tips on bow making?

I hope you're having a great holiday friends!   

Oh Christmas Tree

Our Christmas Tree and decorations are complete, finally!  I am loving our tree especially the Princess Amidala topper (inside family joke).  More pics tomorrow on the rest of our holiday decor.  

Christmas Decor

Are you already decorating for Christmas?  I am and my goodness it takes a lot of effort.  As of last night, we completed our Christmas tree and some of the front yard.  Now I am trying to focus on the rest of the house.  Since we need a new wreath for the front door, I headed over to Michaels today and was overwhelmed with choices.  After 30 minutes of indecisiveness over what to do to my wreath the boys and I headed home so they could nap and I could research wreaths online to get a clear picture of what I wanted.  Here are a few wreaths that I am loving as well as THE ONE I will do my best to copy.

What I love most about all of these wreaths is that they are great for displaying inside or outside of your home.  If you are interested in doing these DIY style each wreath has a HOW TO on the Martha Stewart site here.
