A very PineConey Christmas

I think a house never looks better than at Christmas time. 

I love how cozy my house looks right now. 

I enjoy getting out my huge box of Christmas decorations and figuring out how I can do something different with them this year.

I love the challenge of updating our Christmas decor without spending much or any money.

I've had these wreaths since our December wedding 9 years ago.  We used them as centerpieces (with 3 white candles inside) at our reception. 

I used a simple strip of burlap and hung them around our house.  

I especially love the one on our bedroom mirror.

The boys room even got a wreath. :)

 

The top of our wardrobe, all Christmasy & Cozy....

Here are some of my huge stash of pine cones put to good use in our office.  I spray painted them with Caramel Latte (I think) spray paint...it's a really pretty silvery/gold color.  I love the way they look in my Potter's House Thrift jar.  (I paid 75 cents for it, BTW).

 

Our bathroom window sill even got some pine cone love.

 

The boys have their own tree (that they decorated themselves) in their bathroom. 

 

What it's really about.....the Savior of the world showing up in the most unexpected way.

 

I do this every year.

 

I love my big, fat, floufy wreath (got on clearance after Christmas a couple of years ago).

I got the little tree on clearance as well at Hob Lob one year.

Plopped it in a bucket and shoved a bunch of pine cones in and around it. 

love. it.   love how woodsy and simple it is.

I topped it with a sweet letter plaque my friend Emily made.

 

Check back for a post chock full o' photos of my tree & mantle.

You better believe there will be more pine cones.
