Deck the Halls, Y'all!

All our Christmas decorations are up, and yes, I know...it's not even December.  The stockings are hung, the halls are decked, and the tree is trimmed, so we can enjoy it for a while before it all has to come down again.   

I'll share some of our Christmas decor pics with you next week...but until then, take a gander at some of the cool Christmas decorating ideas I came across this year.  Perhaps they will inspire some cool displays in your home this year! (sources for ideas can be found under each photo)

Old colored bulbs (or even clear bulbs) would look festive in any container or bowl...

Styrofoam wreath + balls of yarn = charming homemade wreath...

A large branch hung over a kitchen island or table will draw lots of attention to your pretty ornaments...

Pile plain glass ornaments on a mantel for a beautiful and glamorous layered look...

Get rid of the "tree skirt", and set your tree stand in a galvanized bucket for some rustic country charm...

Find an inexpensive slate tile at the hardware store and use chalk to draw a Christmas image/saying.  Or, put some chalkboard paint over a scrap piece of wood and chalk away...

How adorable is this Snowman wreath?  It's just 3 wreaths and closet-found snowman trimmings...

Hope you have a very merry weekend full of Christmas decorating and cheer!
