5 days ago by fromgrittopearl Whoop! Whoop! Stockings are hung which mean I’m officially D-O-N-E with Christmas decorating Took me long enough...I know! I get a knot in my stomach every time I think about having to tear it all down in 3 weeks Tell me, do you put everything away the day after Christmas or keep it up past New Years? . . . . #christmasstockings #thestockingswerehung #thestockingswerehungbythechimneywithcare #pompomlove #blackandwhitechristmas #eucalyptusgarland #eucalyptuschristmas #knitstockings #fireplacedecor #christmasmantle #christmasmantledecor #modernfarmhousechristmas #bohochristmas #bohochristmasdecor #allinthedetails
2 days ago by fromgrittopearl I’m a pretty firm believer than Christmas can be done without the red. Now, green and gold? I just don’t know about that! Opinion pending If you had to choose between green or red for Christmas decor, which would it be? *Sliverware by @hmhome *Napkin/Napkin Rings by @pier1 . . . . #greenislife #goldiseverything #christmastablesetting #christmastablescape #christmastabledecoration #christmastabledecor #goldsilverware #blackandwhitedecor #hmhome #myhmhome #pier1love #christmasdecor #christmascheer #christmaslights
6 days ago by fromgrittopearl Decided to move the tree in a different spot to see if I’d like it better here and, well, I do. Then I thought I’d try moving the wall hanging to see what would happen. Magic.
