Looking Back at the Posts of Christmas Past for Inspiration

Previously, I have mentioned that I do most of my Christmas decorating the day after Thanksgiving.  Each year, we host dinner and I like my home to stay in fall mode for the turkey festivities!

Of course, that doesn’t stop me from shopping, planning and pinning for this year’s decor!  I find it helpful to take a look back on past year’s decorations to decide if I want to build on those ideas or go in a totally different direction.

Let’s take a look back on how I have decorated for Christmas in the past…

Last year, I used a lot of red, green and black in my decor…

For years, I had wanted to add wreaths to my cabinets, so last year I finally did!

The year before I kept it simple with some fresh greens and touches of red…

That year, we had just renovated our kitchen and I didn’t want my decor to distract from the new look!

The previous year, I was a little late posting my tour…

As you will see, I used a lot of color that year too.

In 2013, I shared all my wreaths and bows…

In that post, you will also notice that our main Christmas tree is always kid friendly and colorful each year.

In 2011, I shared a few vignettes around the house…

Yes, those old photos are nothing to brag about!  I just realized I just passed my 7 year blogging anniversary!  Wow, time really does fly!  I don’t know if I would have kept track of each year’s decor if I didn’t have a blog.  It’s fun to look back, isn’t it?

I’ll start my decorating next week…and I still plan on using a lot of color this year.  Already, I have purchased a few things so be sure to stop back to check out Christmas 2017 in my home!

How has your decorating changed over the years?
