Holiday Special: Deck the Halls

I don’t know about you, but I’m a fan of decorating for the winter holidays after the American celebration of Thanksgiving. Walking into stores in mid-October only to be ambushed by faux snow, red bows and life-size wreaths is a bit ridiculous. Whatever happened to living in the moment? Needless to say, now that it’s officially December and 10 days into such a phenomenum, I think it’s entirely appropriate to finally deck the halls for the holidays!

Without further ado, here are a few of my favourite holiday décor ideas courtesy of the Musacchio household......

I’m a sucker for glittery things, which is why I adore Martha Stewart’s Glittered Deer Table Decorations:









I love the smell of pinecones and this idea from Sweet Paul is a brilliant way to incorporate them into your home during the winter season:







So why not wrap up surfaces, such as your fireplace mantle, to add a fun but festive touch to your room:







I like to mix in fun colors for the holidays. While red, white and green may reign supreme, these multi-color DIY Seed Bead Ornaments are an easy way to add some extra color to your holiday:







Try grouping together your favourite holiday themed accessories like nutcrackers, jars of festively colored candy and mini tress to create a gorgeous yet cheerful wintertime table spread:







Make a pretty centerpiece wreath to add an extra glitz and glamour element into the season that allows us girls, to be girls!





Or why not try that oh so easy idea of to replicating at home: Mason Jar Snow Globes! I think it might be cute to use the Glittered Deer Table Decorations as alternative filler also:







When it comes to holiday décor, I go by the philosophy “the sparklier, the better,” which doesn’t always mean glitter has to be in the mix. When I came across Hayeseed Homemakin’s DIY for Firefly Christmas Lights, it was love at first sight:





Which holiday décor ideas are you going to try?
