CHRISTMAS DECORATING INSPIRATION FROM INSTAGRAM

I joined Instagram right around the same time that I started this blog, only a few short months ago. I mainly follow home decor sites there, and have been absolutely wowed by the amount of creativity that is shared!

This has been my first Christmas season as part of the IG community and it is plum full of amazing feeds. With Christmas right around the corner, I wanted to capture some of my favorite photos and share them with all of you.

Not one, not two, but three gorgeous Christmas trees! I am loving all of the red and white in this room, and the high windows add a touch of elegance to the space. Did you notice the amazing scroll above the mantle?

How adorable are these gingerbread decorations? Just SO sweet! I would have never thought to use edible items as decor, but this display is perfectly creative! And although I lack skills in the kitchen, this photo is tempting me to try my hand at a gingerbread creation of my own.

That is one festive bed! I love the simple stripes combined with the chunky metal bed frame. The bedroom is one room that I tend to not put any effort into decorating. I think in the future I might try harder!

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…. in one of those amazing metal houses! This display is such a simple and perfect depiction of Christmas. Peaceful, calm, and celebrating the Savior’s birth.

This picture just warms my heart. The room is absolutely filled with natural light (one of my love languages), and though the tree has no ornamentation, the little boy is cuddled in a warm blanket sitting amazed looking in it’s direction. The wonder of Christmas. Magical.

Bringing the outdoors in, this table setting is rustic and modernly stylish with the buffalo check accents. I imagine a warm bowl of soup in those pretty white bowls.

I am pretty sure I could curl up with a good book and just hang in this corner for an entire day! I love how the standard house plants seem to fit right into this scene. The plaid checkered pot cover helped to tie it all together.

Ending this roundup with another gorgeous tree all decked out in red and white. Doesn’t it look magical next to that grandfather clock?

FALL DECORATING IDEAS : DESIGN INSPIRATION FROM INSTAGRAM

Happy October everyone!  Here in the Midwest, the air is quickly turning colder and Fall is starting to show its true colors. Literally. Multi colored leaves are falling from the trees. Pumpkins, gourds and corn stalks are being harvested from the fields to be displayed in cute little farmers market stands.

While preparing to decorate our home, I headed to Instagram for some Fall decorating inspiration, and boy did I find it! Today I want to share with you a handful of gorgeous displays that perfectly reflect the change of seasons, each in their own unique way.


@greensprucedesigns

This entry setup is just so beautiful!  I am absolutely in love with the wooden front door. And that barrel vault?  Swoon!  The simple addition of fall foliage, corn stalks and white pumpkins really make this a festive spot without too much added fuss or clutter. Who wouldn’t want to be welcomed home to this view?


@cottonwoodacres

This picture has me wanting to scour all of the local antique shops and estate sales for an old wine barrel – because seriously, isn’t it just perfect? The inclusion of apples in the display is a unique decorating decision that totally works!  I love the large lettered sign – a fitting sentiment for Fall and Thanksgiving.

@frenchcountrycottage

If I had to use one word to describe this photo it would be COZY.  I love how Courtney layered the accent pieces to complement her fireplace. The warm glow of the candles and lantern add a very nice ambiance. Get me a book and a cup of hot cocoa, and I could be happy to stay in this exact spot for hours.


@therusticlife

I’m a huge fan of white decor, and although it isn’t what we typically think of when we envision the Fall season, it just works perfectly here.  This photo reminds me that even the most simple display can turn festive by just trading out a few pieces. My eyes are especially drawn to the wire metal basket full of Fall goodness!


@missmirandarose

An often overlooked decorating spot, this photo proves that the bedroom is just as worthy of being gussied up as any other space in the house. This room is absolutely exploding with texture! The rusted hues are spot on, and using hats as wall decorations? Genius!


@whitehouseon19th

This photo is so simply stated, that I just had to include it.  I believe it serves as a lesson that sometimes less is more. I love the inclusion of pheasant feathers; And that white bench couldn’t be any more charming if it tried!
