Ah, It has always been my favorite to for. Some of my earliest memories are of pulling out boxes of Christmas decorations from the attic with my grandparents and preparing to celebrate our savior. Inevitably the record player would be playing the likes of Silent Night, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and Little Drummer Boy, as we'd set up our tiny faux tree in front of the living room window. Those were the days!
My memories of Christmas's past are what motivate me to continue the tradition of decorating in hopes that my son will some day have similar memories to think back to. Of course I'm a bit more "enthusiastic" about decorating these days, so I might be decorating a bit more than I have in the past, but there is nothing wrong with that. New traditions are to be made, and with each year I feel that we are cementing our own.
This year I decided to create our very own " wonderland" indoors. To do so, I used a combination of white, gold, and silver to add some sparkle, and plenty of flocked garlands throughout our spaces. I couldn't help myself though, and added a few pops of red under our tree.

Funnily enough I had a completely different vision for the space, think Moroccan - modern, but once I pulled out my decor from last year, and the new pieces I purchased this year I saw the space in a different light. I was seeing a cozy- space with a touch of whimsy. Enter the burlap bows! I'm a terrible bow maker, but I ran across a simple tutorial on Pinterest that was easy enough for even me to complete. Due to this you will see plenty of them throughout.
