Christmas House Details
December 23, 2020
This year at our little château, we have embraced a simpler aesthetic for Christmas décor. While decorating for Christmas is fun, I never enjoy spending hours packing away lots of holiday stuff. So this year when I unpacked it all, I edited my collection down to just a few favorite, sentimental items that bring us joy each year, and parted with the rest. Then I supplemented with the more ephemeral greenery, candlelight and red roses for a little pop of color. I love the simplicity of this new approach to the holiday, and now realize there is elegance in a bit of restraint since what décor we do have can really shine. However you’re celebrating, I hope it’s wonderful!
