Easy Holiday Decor

November 26, 2014 by Bee Filed Under: Christmas, DIY, Glam Christmas, holiday, ikea, repurpose

Hello friends! I am sure you are all getting ready for yummy holiday meals, etc:) I’ve got a couple of really easy, but really pretty touches you can do for holiday decor.

They both come out of my desire to repurpose what is already in a room so that it can just be jazzed up in some simple way!

The first one is gonna blow your mind… not really… but you might be like… uh yea… I could do that so easily!  I have a couple of cute little foot stools that float around our family room- and truthfully the tan and red stripes are fine for Christmas, but with the addition of more red throughout the room, I wanted to break it up a bit.

Enter Ikea and their faux sheepskins for $9.  Yes, you are going to be seeing these around in my other holiday decor quite a bit this year!  I planned to just quickly staple and recover them but when I just threw it on there to see how it would look, I decided it looked cute just tossed on there… ummm… it can’t get easier than that! or cuter!!

Easy Decor #2 is all about those books, bout those books, bout those books… you know you are now singing that song.  You are welcome.  Go grab a bunch of books from around your house- got them? Now start stacking them on top of a bookshelf/ mantel/ hearth/ wherever- and then grab a cute star ornament or these awesomsauce star objects I got at Hob Lob (50% off of course) and TaDa!!!! you have cute book trees!

These look and were so simple and they are officially my favorite decoration this season.  I decided to flank them on each side of our TV console.  And you could always turn them around so that the colors of the book binds show- but I didn’t want them to take over too much.

Love!

I will be sharing with you my tutorial on how to make ornament wreaths on Friday and next Monday I can’t wait for you to see the line up of great bloggers for a tour with holiday entry ways and vignettes!

    You know I was too blinded by your rug to notice any of those tips. 😉 Also… the fish tank Christmas vignette is FAN-freaking-TASTIC.
