The holidays are here and I am freaking out. I usually have my entire home decked out and ready to go by the first of December and I thought it wouldn’t be a problem this year. BUT, life is just taking over. I was hoping his blog post would be my finished holiday décor and instead, it is “where-I-am-at-so-far-post.” Ugh, wish I could be done so we can enjoy for the full month of December but my work and kids are keeping me busy. Now, there are times the last week that I was home, and it was evening and I probably could have finished it off instead of watch Real Housewives or Fixer Upper but I was just pooped. Like just needed time to zone out cause of exhaustion. But no more, need to get back into gear and get this done.
Okay, so maybe it is all meant to be. In other words, a sign for me to have a simpler but more refined holiday. Touches of metallic colors with mixed in with pops of red and natural green. I had started decorating the staircase and could not finish the same day, so days went by and I started to like the take in the simple look of what was happening.
What do you think? Granted I need to do my dining tablescape and TREE but otherwise..
