I had mentioned in another post, that I was really liking the white and cream theme this year.  So, that is what I went with for my living room.  There is only a few pops of color, mostly the red curtains I put up just for Christmas.  I kept trying to add color and I kept taking it back out.  I just love the simplicity of the neutral colors.

If you remember my preview, there was a large star propped up on the mantel.  It got moved to another wall, because I liked the idea of candles, instead.

I kept playing around the garland, and settled with his version.  I like how the eucalyptus leaves add dimension.

Our stockings were red, and didn’t seem to go.  I used some left over burlap and ribbon to make some new ones.  They were supper quick.  I just used our old stockings as a pattern and did a quick zig-zag stick around the outside.  I turned them inside out, then used hot glue for the ribbon.  The letters are just pins, I took off of the old ones.

I would love to know how you are all decorating your homes for this holiday.  Do you love color or a more subdued color pallet?
