31 Days of Decorating Inspiration: Day 31 Christmas Decor

I decided to end my 31 Days of Decorating Inspiration with Christmas decor! I know for some it seems way to early to start decorating but for some reason this year I cant wait to dig out my Christmas stuff. I think the reason may have to do with this being our 'first' Christmas we will celebrate at our new house. I also bought lots of Christmas stuff last year after Christmas and I didn't even get any of it out of the packages, I just put them in totes in the attic! Oh I wonder what I got last year, I can't remember all the things I bought! Anyway, here are some great decorating pictures to get you ready for Christmas!

I must say that I really enjoyed this 31 Days.. series and with doing Decorating Inspiration has really been fun and inspiring for me! I now have so many ideas on how I want my home to look and the style I want to bring into my home. It seems that my 'to do' list has really grown along with my 'junk to treasure' list this past month. Ending with one of my favorite holidays was a great way to end this series, I cant wait to join up next year! Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you gained some Decorating Inspiration for your own home! Be sure to visit The Nester for more 31 Day...! Blessings, Lisa

31 Days of Decorating Inspiration: Day 30 Fall Decor

With fall in full force right now I have found some great fall pictures to inspire some fall decorating. Although for me by the time I really get around to decorating for fall I may as well put it all away and start to decorate for Christmas! I don't generally do much for fall, maybe some pumpkins here or there and thats about it! I do however, love to decorate for Christmas, is it to early to start decorating for that!

31 Days of Decorating Inspiration: Day 24 Stenciled Walls

I love these stenciled walls that seem to be popular right now. Of course I'm not sure where I would put one, but they do look pretty and possibly time consuming, but the end result would be worth it!

I think that with most of the stenciled walls that I found they only focused on one wall. I think I could do that, a whole room may never get done if I did it myself, but one wall is doable for me! For more 31 Days... check out The Nester! Blessings, Lisa

31 Days of Decorating Inspiration: Day 23 Mantels

Our furnace went out last week on some of the coldest days yet this fall, what luck! I guess it was better to replace it now than when it is really cold out. Unfortunately, we don't have a fireplace in our house or at least not anymore, this house used to have one because we still have a chimney in our attic. I love mantels and in our next house a fireplace might be a must! Check out these pretty mantels and fireplaces!
