It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

Okay, not really. But holiday entertaining is already on my mind thanks to the latest issue of Blueprint magazine. I love this setup and it could totally be done for a wedding as well! I love Christmas themes that aren’t done in your typical red and green.
The various pastel presents are my fave!
Ornaments double as favors and the chandelier adds instant ambiance! 
For the candles, “Place a few in a large box and coat with spray adhesive (sold at craft stores). ‘Wear a Michael Jackson-style mask while you do it,’ says deputy style and home editor Shane Powers. ‘And work in a well-ventilated area.’” Spoon glitter over the candles to coat; let dry overnight. Candles, from $8 per dozen, jamaligarden.com. “Fine” glitter, $5, marthastewartcrafts.com.”

This post made my day! I am loving the new looks for Christmas decor that I am already spotting in different stores, magazines, and catalogs. I’m going to pick up the new issue of Blueprint on my lunch break now! Thanks for sharing!
Lol at the ‘Michael Jackson-style mask’. No, really. I actually laughed out loud.
I love the chandelier & the chairs around the dining room table!
I’m so listening to Christmas music right now. I love this season!

I was totally getting in the Christmas spirit this weekend (it starts really early with me) and I was walking around Costco singing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” to myself. I am crazy, I think. I love these photos and I also love untraditional Christmas decor. The chandeliers are gorgeous!
