Holiday Copy Cat

Yip-Skip, it's time for the Holiday Block Party and Debbie is starting it off with the Holiday Copy Cat party.  Be sure to visit her and see all the fabulous copy's everyone has been doing. 


This year I really wanted to keep all of my decor to a minimum, yet have a welcoming and inviting home for the season.  I loved the look I kept seeing of simple wreaths hung in windows.

My dining room always seems like it has the least decor for Christmas, so when I saw the hanging wreaths, I figured I could do one in my window also.




I had a plain simple wreath that I looped some gold gilt ribbon around and used ribbon to hang it from the top of the window like the inspiration pics.



This filled the area with some additional Christmas cheer and still kept things on the minimal side.



I added a large gold ornament to the center of mine for a little extra bling.

The wreath finished off the dining area and was a very simple 10 minute copy cat.

Thanks for stopping by, I always look forward to your visits.  Be sure to come back and link up the Table Top Tuesday tomorrow evening.  I can't wait to see all your decor.

  8. I really think I have to hang on my windows too.

    I just started making the wreaths and my son gf came to say "hi" at our place & love the wreaths, so I can't say no.

    I will start to do a new one & will hang this coming w/end.

    Gorgeous and so elegant, Lady M.

    Happy Sunday, to you & to DH at home.

  15. Beautiful wreaths and I love the painting in your dining room. Could you show us more of that, please? Merry Christmas.

  16. I like that idea too. Sometimes wreaths look best when they're simple. That way it doesn't take away from the rest of the room. Yours is tastefully done and matches the decor of your room. It's very elegant!

  25. A great copy cat and pefectly in your colour scheme with the gold. The second photo from Country Living is one of my all time favourites. I'm keeping my eyes open in after Christmas sales for some smaller faux greenery wreaths. I checked out live wreaths and locally they are $30 each. Ouch!
