1. 6 SIMPLE & BRILLIANT CHRISTMAS DECORATING IDEAS: Gather Meaningful Pieces
Gather meaningful pieces to create new holiday traditions! Our homes should inspire us to go out into the world to do great things and then welcome us with refreshment!

Your home is the very important, influential building block for your daily experiences and lifetime memories that you create!
This 52 Inch Tall Vintage-Inspired Lifesize Santa Cutout was inspired by the 1950s era when you would see a lifesize Santa in a window store display! Gone are the days of waiting in endless lines competing to get the perfect photo of trying to get your child smiling with Santa! This jolly fellow comes with a metal stand that allows you to prop him up on your front porch or next to your Christmas tree in your living room as the perfect backdrop for some wonderful holiday family photos year after year!

This Light Up Glitter Houses Advent Calendar is a great way for you and your family to countdown the days to Christmas! This Light Up Glitter Houses Advent Calendar is filled with vintage-style bottle brush trees and numbered mini Putz-style houses on the side of a snowy mountain! The name for Putz houses evolves from the German word “putzen,” which means to clean or decorate! Advent calendars trace back to the 19th century in Germany when families would use chalk marks on doors or lit candles to count the days leading up to Christmas. Gerhard Lang created the first printed Advent calendar, which was inspired by one his mother had made for him featuring 24 colored pictures attached to a piece of cardboard. Inspired by his mother’s design, Lang modified his calendar to include little doors which are now a staple in most Advent calendars to this day! For this Light Up Glitter Houses Advent Calendar, you can create your own family tradition by hiding little candies or other small surprises inside each cardboard house to excite your family leading up to Christmas!
2. 6 SIMPLE & BRILLIANT CHRISTMAS DECORATING IDEAS: Bring the Outside In
The easiest way to change up any space in your home for any season is with greenery! If you don’t have much decor or don’t know which type of items to invest in, high-quality faux greenery is a must! Faux greenery is a lifetime investment that pays off in the long run because you can re-use it every year and it helps you save money by not buying real greenery that dies every year! The best type of faux greenery to invest in is timeless greenery that can be used throughout multiple holidays or seasons!

This Flocked Winter Pine Tree in Galvanized Bucket already comes with so many details! It’s beautifully crafted from faux pine with pine cones in a corrugated metal bucket with moss!

Plus these items are perfectly neutral and can be left up throughout the entire winter season!

3. 6 SIMPLE & BRILLIANT CHRISTMAS DECORATING IDEAS: Big Statement Makers
Big statement makers make you go – WOW! They are THE FIRST ITEM you notice because not only are they HUGE in size, but they are also incredibly UNIQUE in design! The added benefit of statement makers is that most do not require extra decor items to decorate a space because statement makers already make such a huge impact and elevate a space all on their own. If you find it overwhelming to focus on too many details, including ONE big statement item is the best way to decorate your space to make it easy on yourself!

6. 6 SIMPLE & BRILLIANT CHRISTMAS DECORATING IDEAS: Unexpected Finishing Touches
After styling your favorite decor items into a space, a designer will always include unexpected details to complete the look. It’s easy to decorate with large items that look good, but it’s harder to fill in the gaps with details that fine-tune your look and allow your bigger pieces to shine more!
