Christmas Inspiration

December 7, 2016 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

Oh how I love Christmas. It is December already! This month is going to go by SO fast, I just know it. I love looking at house tours just to see how everyone decorates for Christmas and I love getting inspired by all the fabulousness. I hope that this Christmas Inspiration helps YOU want to do more than just decorating a Christmas tree this month. Every room in the house needs a little love for the holidays and I hope you like what I have found so far!

Create a cozy space by the fireplace! Plaid throw blankets, pillows, and beautiful berries create this scene. The rest of this house tour is pretty amazing. By the Fireplace, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveBy the Fireplace

This master bedroom was decorated with quite a few Christmas touches- it is so worth looking at all the gorgeous photos and get some ideas from them. Christmas Bedroom, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveChristmas Bedroom

What to do with all the beautiful cards you get in the mail? Display them on a frame with chicken wire and a pretty wreath! Christmas Holiday Card Display, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveChristmas Holiday Card Display

All it takes is a few Christmas pillows a throw blanket and an inspired sign to transform that bedroom into a decorated space for the guests and holidays. You could even add a small tree if you have the room. Christmas Bedroom, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveChristmas Bedroom

Light up a special area with some Christmas lights and a big sign. This gives a cozy lodge feel to the living room! Christmas Living Room, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveChristmas Living Room

How I adore this! Gingham check curtains, double wreaths, a small hot chocolate tray with goodies, and a gingerbread house on a cake stand!Christmas in the Kitchen, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveChristmas in the Kitchen

Give a little love to that staircase! This one is so beautiful with a bench below it and Christmas inspired pillows. Christmas Staircase Decoration, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveChristmas Staircase Decoration

This is one of the sweetest Christmas centerpieces I have seen! And I am loving the mason jar candles too!  Church in the Woods Christmas Centerpiece, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveChurch in the Woods Christmas Centerpiece

After your decorated front porch, your guests will see the entryway. Don’t let it lack décor! Here’s a fabulous one to get inspired by. Cozy Farmhouse Entry, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveCozy Farmhouse Entry

Doors aren’t the only place you can hang a wreath. They look gorgeous on a decorated sideboard table along with a chalkboard and mini trees.Decorate with Wreaths, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveDecorating with Wreaths

I love the myrtle wrapped wreaths, and the sizes are perfect for hanging gift cards in the middle of them.DIY Gift Card Mini Wreaths, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveDIY Gift Card Mini Wreaths

I think it’s a fabulous idea to have a Hot Chocolate Bar all ready to do for those unexpected guests, and for those who are invited over. It is the perfect way to warm up!DIY Hot Chocolate Bar, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveDIY Hot Cocoa Bar

This sign makes for the most gorgeous backdrop to a Nativity scene, the true meaning of Christmas.DIY Metal and Wood Christmas Sign, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveDIY Metal and Wood Christmas Sign

Let it Snow is always playing on the Christmas radio. Make this sign for your mantel or to hang on the wall. DIY Winter Woodland Sign, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveDIY Winter Woodland Sign

Adorn the doors of your home with gorgeous and aromatic evergreen garlands. It may be simple, but festive at the same time. You can always add a few berry picks or bows. Evergreen Garland, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveEvergreen Garland

This kitchen is full of little touches that lend way to Christmas. I am loving this centerpiece. Be sure to check out all the décor here.Farmhouse Christmas Kitchen, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveFarmhouse Christmas Kitchen

This is a beautifully decorated mantel with lots of delicate and rustic touches! Joy Mantel, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveJoy Mantel

Those big signs on the front porches are amazing- check out how simple it is to make this one!JOY Outdoor Wreath Sign, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveJOY Outdoor Wreath Sign

If you don’t have a mantel or a specific place for your stockings, use a vintage ladder! This one looks perfect with a small greenery and berry garland. Ladder Stocking Holder, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveLadder Stocking Holder

Pillows are one of the best things to decorate the living room with and you can repurpose any of your other pillows to do this! No Sew Christmas Pillows, Christmas Inspiration via House of HargroveNo Sew Christmas Pillows

When designing our home the kitchen was such an important space. We spend a lot of time in there. I wanted it to be beautiful and functional. Here are some of my favorite features in our kitchen.

I’ve been on the hunt for faux flowers for my outdoor pots and I finally found a winner!!

🌸 comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links

I kept spending lots of money each season on real flowers and it was so much work keeping them alive!

I was looking for a better option and finally found one!

These faux flowers are
•BEAUTIFUL ....always in bloom
•ZERO MAINTENANCE ...no watering, fertilizing, etc
•BUDGET FRIENDLY ...these are priced great and you don’t have to replace them each season
•AND LOOK REAL. Some faux flowers are bad!! These really look good and unless you dig in there you’d never know they are faux

Each pack comes in a bundle of 2 bunches. Each bunch has 7 stems. You can plant 2 ways and I tried both. You can plant the bundle attached together and bend the stems (they are wired) to spread everything out....or....you can cut the bundles apart and plant the stems individually. I ended up doing that and thought they looked more realistic that way.  I ended up using 5 packages (10 bunches) for 2 large pots and 1 smaller pot.

I share both ways on IG stories so you can see the difference.

I also removed some soil and added floral foam blocks beneath, recovered with dirt and stuck the flowers in them.  I don’t think this step was necessary, but I wanted to make sure they were in there firm.

I’m so excited I now get to enjoy beautiful flowers with zero work 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Last year, Geoff and I added wires up this wall in a diamond trellis pattern. We planted creeping fig, but unfortunately, it all died this winter. I just planted Star Jasmine in its place so really hoping it survives. Texas weather is hard!. Thanks to a little AI magic I was able to create what my ultimate vision is. Fingers crossed it will look like this in a couple of years.

I just learned that May 3 is World Naked Gardening Day 🤣 I seriously can’t believe there is a day dedicated to this, but maybe lots of people need fences 🤷🏼‍♀️😉🌱🌿
