Home Sweet Little Home: Countown to Christmas decorating

The countown to Christmas decorating has begun! I'm slowly easing into decorating this year for Chris, who believes you don't think about Christmas until Thanksgiving is out of the way. Don't even think about putting lights up outside while it's warm, oh no. Although, I've got to admit, the house I saw the other day that could have landed an airplane with Santa in a hot air balloon on it's roof was a little much.

So here is my new project. I want to decorate the fireplace with something a little different this year. I've already put in place this very heavy, metal dohicky. (which I used for a while as a headboard) But this year, my plan is to attach a wreath to it and decorate the mantle with greenery.

I just have to find a new home for our wedding picture, but that will be a fun project too. I want to make a silhouettes of Chris, Alex and I and frame them to go near that picture. Anyway, I'm going a little off-track.

Here are a couple inspiration pictures that are a little over the top, but you can kind of get my idea.
