Well, it’s the last day of November, so it’s about time we get into the Christmas swing of things, doncha think?
We had our first snowfall last night and everything is looking all perfect and Christmassy. We’re all just loving it around here.
I thought I’d start at the very beginning, a very good place to start, in the mudroom, where we usually enter the house.
I cheated a bunch in this room and reused a lot of the same elements as in my Fall mudroom. It made the whole thing really easy to do though, and Kennedy helped out a lot, which she loved.
I use this same wreath every year because it’s pretty much the greatest wreath ever. It was one of the decorations from my work a few years ago which I took home at the end of the season. How lucky am I?
We pinned up some dollar store garlands left over from last year and tied a little piece of red ribbon on our Mason Jar light.
This is my Spring wreath, which became my Fall wreath, which is now another Christmas wreath.
I kept my $7 lanterns and my stools from the Fall mud room and just filled them with various Christmas bits and bobs.
