Winter wonderland | Christmas 2019

“I’mmmm dreaminggg of a wwwhite Christmas” was the song going through my head when planning out this years holiday color scheme! I wanted the feeling of snow everywhere- a true winter wonderland ❄️

One of the very first items I purchased this year was the “Fa La La” banner from Pottery Barn Kids. I’m so in love with the font, the sparkly finish, and how much of an impact it makes. From there, I started filling in with greenery and other white decor items. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the options at Michaels and Hobby Lobby (trust me, I know) but it’s important to only purchase pieces that fit within your chosen color scheme to pull off a cohesive look throughout your decorating.

It’s all in the details! Beside decor, you’ll want to keep additional items like your gift wrapping within the same colors as well- this will take your holiday decorating over the top!

We were due for a new Christmas tree this year (I made a $40 one from Target work for six years, so I think I deserve an upgrade 😉 I’ve never had a flocked tree before, but I knew I just had to have one to complete my vision! I searched high and low, looking for that perfect mix of good quality for a great price. I ended up finding this beauty at Walmart! I’m super happy with the fullness of the branches and how realistic it looks. Oh, and it’s pre-lit! This was huge for me as my previous tree was not and I’ve spent about two hours each year just putting the lights on! I’m very happy that those days are over. 😄

Spread the cheer! I like to inject Christmas spirit into every inch of my house and love to include areas that people may not think about decorating. My bar cart is one of my absolute favorite things to style so I had to include it in the festivities. Think about a shelf or nook in your home that could use a little holiday spirit and keep that theme going!

Don’t forget the snacks! Cookies are never a bad idea for a holiday treat, but I wanted to change it up a little this year and try something new- Christmas cupcakes! These little babies are gingerbread cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting…my mouth is watering just typing that out!! I bought some brown fondant from Michaels and pressed out little gingerbread men as cute toppers. Served with milk and all ready for Santa 😊

I hope you enjoyed this little tour of how I decked my halls with an all white Christmas this year and feel inspired by at least one of these ideas. I’m off to sip some cocoa next to a crackling fire with my family. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas!
