GORGEOUS CHRISTMAS DECORATING IDEAS
Today’s post is a real treat! Christmas is almost upon us, but there is still time to make a couple beautiful Christmas decorating projects to deck your halls. And if your house trimming is done you will probably want to save these ideas on Pinterest for next year! It’s not too early or late! I’m always adding Christmas decorating ideas till the very last minute! I love to infuse each days in December with Christmas! Too bad the Christmas season is so short! How about you? I’m sure you have time for just one more Christmas project!
A few of my fellow bHome bloggers have gotten together to give you some fabulous ideas! Take a few minutes to be inspired and enjoy the beauty of the Christmas season in these posts!
Today’s Christmas decorating ideas are simple, do-able and oh-so-pretty!
Everyone loves Yvonne from Stone Gable’s beautiful decorating style and she does not disappoint with her gorgeous bleached pinecones! This is a project anyone can do and the results are fabulous!
Christy from Confessions of a Serial Do-it-Yourselfer shows us how to make gorgeous sweater stockings that look just like the expensive ones from Anthropologie. I love her version and it was FREE! My kind of project!
You will love this amazing holiday decor tip from Susan at Love of Home! It’s another amazing FREE decorating idea and you will love it!
I love the amazing signs I see during the holidays and one from Ashley at Cherished Bliss does not disappoint! This girl is so creative and knows how to make her home look so festive with a little DIY! Ashely shows you how to make this gorgeous Christmas JOY sign here.
Who doesn’t love a grain sack? That nubby gorgeous fabric goes with almost every style of decor! Authentic, homespun and timeless – grain sacks and Christmas go together naturally. Using grain sacks in you Christmas decor can be as easy as a pile stacked with the red & green stripes revealed, a red striped sack draped over a chair, one wrapped around the base of your tree. If you have a bit of time, sewing grain sack Christmas stockings is wonderful way to create family heirlooms. Learn about grain sacks, how to care for them and more ideas on using them in your Christmas decor from Kelly at My Soulful Home.
If you don’t have a vintage grain sack, you can make your own! I made some simple little grain sack ornaments that are so easy to make and inexpensive. I love them because they add a vintage flair to my tree, they’re light-weight (perfect for real trees) and they don’t break if they fall! You can get the full tutorial here.
Christmas is just around the corner, but there is still time to incorporate these ideas in to your holiday home. Or, pin them now and save them for next year!
And, remember, you can follow all of these lovely ladies on the fantastic bHome App — available on both iPhone and Android!

Great ideas….I so remember that wonderful bleached pinecone project!! Have a Merry weekend!
Love the Pincone idea! I have many pine cones. I want to add some naturals to my traditional Christmas decorations.
Mery Christmas Happy New Year!?
Thank you for your blog
HI Denise! You are so welcome!
I too wish there were more day in December with all of these great ideas. Thank you for sharing so many great projects all year round. Have a Merry Christmas. God Bless!
Such luvly ideas… Sometimes I’d like more time to do all the crafts and décor ideas I see.
Curious Yvonne, do the pine cones retain a bleachy smell?
Happy Christmas everybody!!
Hi Gee, great question. My pinecones do not smell like bleach.
I love last minute ideas, it’s always fun to tweak everything and piddle around my house (as I call it) making sure all my little details are just right. It took me a year, but I found that metal reindeer basket you have on your dining room table. I feel so fortunate to have found one! You should have seen the look my husband gave me (a smirky grin because I have so much Christmas). Fortunately he loves me enough to just let me have it!
I love the bleached pinecones! XO
Hi Yvonne……
Owning an old Christmas Tree farm, pinecones are an everyday staple here! I just dried a whole burlap bag of cones….going to try this! I love the washed out look…..
Have a wonderful weekend….

Thank you for the great ideas. i have a kittie whom I love dearly, but she likes to chew things, especially Christmas decor. I try and place anything which is chewable, basically everything, as high up on tall pieces of furniture as I can. Any ideas for Christmas decor which is kittie proof. Guess it’s a small price to pay for a lovable kittie Who is a part of my family Have a Merry Christmas.
They are our four legged family members! We certainly need to look after them!
I pinned them all and am ready to try them. Thanks for the great ideas!
Pine cones ..I live in a community called Nottingham woods, there are thousands of cones. I guess I’d better get started. Thank you.
