It is that magical time of year again where the house transforms into a holiday wonderland. I love bringing the festivities into the house. I didn't reinvent the wheel this year on decor though and stayed with my traditional pieces adding in leopard and plaid accents as I have for the past several years.
I used a lot of greenery picks, antlers, and plaid throughout to unify things from room to room.
Isn't this picture of Santa working on his truck just the cutest ever? I picked this up at Hobby Lobby last year.
One new piece I did add this year was this squirrel garland I found at Petitti's Garden Center. I have been feeding and enjoying the squirrels in my yard all summer long and couldn't resist picking this up.
In the kitchen, I tried to add in some accents of Mackenzie Childs to compliment pieces that are there year-round.
I kept the dining table simple so it could remain completely functional throughout the season. I layered a plaid runner over a fleur-di-lis tapestry and got a new rug in leopard print for the floor.
The decor itself in the dining room though is more traditional with touches of Italian and Santa.
No Christmas decor could be complete without a nativity scene. I kept things simple here on the buffet so the nativity could be its own focal point.
I carried this traditional look combing Santa, plaid and leopard into the living room as well.
The pups just couldn't resist posing for a holiday photo as well on the couch. I used green and plaid throws along with plaid trimmed and leopard throw pillows to carry on the look.
I carried to same elements up the stairs, hall and into the bathroom as well. I just loved how this garland looked around the photos in the bath.
I changed the ribbon and broach on my mannequin form tree as well to give a "Gucci" inspired look for some glam.
