I've been going on about trying to simplify this Christmas and not make decorating an expensive chore,
and instead make it a very frugal joy! This hutch display was so much fun and free!The tree and white nativity I've had for years and this year I put the figures inside a cloche. I didn't have any fake snow, so I used sugar!
I usually change out my hutch dishes for Fall and Christmas. This year, I decided to try to work with them.
This silver fish platter usually sits on top of the fridge. I filled it with Ornaments I collect at 50% after Christmas sales from Big Lot's.
All of the greenery is from my own yard. Blue boxwood berries and cypress. Love that they're free and I don't have to store them!
I'm really enjoying using simple things to fit into my existing decor........
instead of trying to change it so much and get stressed out if the beach look and the Christmas look are "clashing". It's all about harmony.
Christmas by the sea.

Thank you for featuring my fudge, Mary!
ReplyDeleteI think your hutch looks beautiful! I am drawn to that fish dish with all of the natural greenery, ornaments and candles. So pretty! Thank you for featuring my wine mulls. We are about to get hammered with a winter storm and I may crack one open!

I'm thrilled for the feature, thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your simple decor that honors Christmas in such a peaceful way.
Sometimes dragging out all those boxes can be a chore. Your natural elements
mixed with white are the perfect compliment to your beautiful hutch. Love it!
Hugs,
Patti
I love the way you decorate, Mary! I agree with Patti, the way you use natural elements creates such a lovely ambience. I bet friends and family never want to leave your house during the holidays!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the feature. A lovely surprise.
I am so jealous of your hutch. Our dining room and living room are open to each other and it doesn't leave a whole lot of room for a nice big hutch. I want one like yours so bad. I hope to get one at my next house.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU SO MUCH ALSO FOR FEATURING MY HEADBAND! IT MADE MY DAY!!!
