I am absolutely loving all the woodland decorations this year!  There are so many wonderful owls, birds, and woodland creatures that you can incorporate into your existing  decor.  I decorated this tree using a mixture of three key elements: Silver, wintery whites and owls. A grapevine wreath was taken apart and used as a garland.  Silver balls, sparkly jeweled snowflakes and  assorted ornaments reflect the light and add a little glitz to the woodland theme and furry white over-sized ball ornaments.   Glittered curly picks were added to the tree for bit more sparkle and texture. A vintage sled does double duty to hold presents and hid the artificial tree base.  I placed the base in a large seagrass basket and covered the top with white burlap.  Presents wrapped in fun papers – chevron and animal prints – add a little pop of color.

It’s in the details…

I love this woodland owl perched near the top of the tree. He seems to draws you in for a closer look! When decorating with a theme, you don’t want to overdo.  Just use a few pieces like this owl to really bring it all together.

Whatever your theme or decorating style, have fun with it.  And most importantly, enjoy old traditions, making new memories and  the time you spend with friends and family during this holiday season.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!!
