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…
The Christmas House Tour that Never Happened (2014)
As you will see, I used a lot of color that year too.
In 2013, I shared all my wreaths and bows…
Since you don’t really see much of my kitchen in that post, I also included another one from 2013…
In 2012, I used some white, but overall I kept things colorful…
Christmas Around My House (2012)
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…
And in 2010, I shared my family room where we used to put our Christmas tree…
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?
