1. Mass Mercury Glass
So often it helps to see it done before actually executing the look. Here’s an example of restraint when it comes to color on the tree – I love the silvery glow.

Also, here’s a timely reminder that in all of the bustle and list making, we can choose to simply become a placeholder.

2. Hang a Wreath on Cupboard Doors
Isn’t this vintage style hoop one a lovely moment?

Here’s a printable if you decide to do something similar with sheet music:

3. Swag Romantic Lit Garlands
I always have grand intentions of doing something like this…
![Staircase with gorgeous greenery garland, white lights, and soft red ribbon. #christmasdecor #elegant #garland #staircase](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/994bef3d8edd20c42a323c58b1b4a15a.jpeg)
but November and December tend to get away from me, yes? I admire those of you with the patience to deck your stair railings!

4. Get Creative With Twigs & Paper
Don’t you love the combination for a vase?
![Lovely handmade paper Scandi ornaments dangle from bare branches in a vase for this holiday moment by Herzenseinrichtung.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/cozy-scandi-hygge-christmas-decor-vase-branches-paper-ornaments-herzenseinrichtung.jpeg)

5. Decide Red is Optional
Not that there’s anything wrong with a few berries…
![Farmhouse dining room with white shabby chic decor decorated simply for Christmas with greenery, silver balls, and neutral colors. #christmasdecor #diningroom #farmhousedecor #shabbychic](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/24852661-10159817487920515-2433183646345103979-n-2_orig.jpg)
but it’s more than okay to first try the look without red.

6. Set a Table With Little Snow Globes
It doesn’t even have to be a little snow globe, but the idea is to place a little festive gift at each place.
![Atlanta Home for the Holidays Designer Showhouse Christmas placesetting by Liz Williams Interiors with a lovely snow globe at each plate.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/AHL_Home-for-the-Holidays_Breakfast-Room-by-Liz-Williams_PC-David-Christensen-1SH.jpg)

8. Consider a Delicious Raspberry Ribbon
Don’t you love it when a holiday showhouse inspires with non-traditional holiday color combos?
![Atlanta Home for the Holidays Designer Showhouse bedroom by Kristin Kong with Christmas tree. #christmasdecorating #pinkchristmas](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/atlanta-AHL_Home-for-the-Holidays_kristin-kong-bedroom-4-sugar-plum-suite-mali-azima.jpg)

19. Paint a Message on a Mirror
This one was given a chalkboard look, but remember you can stencil a quote on a mirror with regular ol’ latex house paint. If you change your mind, you can scrape it right off.
![Rustic farmhouse Christmas decor at Urban Farmgirl. #farmhouse #christmasdecor](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/hello-lovely-studio-farmhouse-christmas-decorating-ideas-006.jpg)

Something magical happens when you layer patterns and prints…

Don’t Forget the Christmas Scents!
If citrus aromas lift your spirits (they have a profound mood altering effect on this girl), do indulge.

I do hope December is being gentle with you and that you have time to escape in books and movies. Everyone has their favorite holiday movies, and you may be surprised by how diverse this genre truly is!

That English Cottage in THE HOLIDAY!
The Holiday is one of my favs, and this tent scene will usher us right into cozy loveliness:

My own favorite? It was released the year I started writing (and did you know I started a now-defunct blog, two years before Hello Lovely debuted in January of 2010???)

I’m grateful for your readership – thanks for taking the time to get acquainted here. I honor teachers so much and tutored students for a decade before I began writing and blogging. Thanks for all you do! Merry Christmas!
What lovely ideas to start my Christmas 2019 inspiration file 🙂
Last year I used gathered turkey feathers as a tree topper for my nature inspired tree, (plentifully found) on the golf course where we play. It was a big hit with our guests! 😉
Have the most beautiful Christmas ever and may your health continue to improve. Be well. Be blessed.

How cool is a turkey feather topped tree!?! Thank you for the wishes! As I grow older, I am not setting my expectations so high at the holidays – instead I am looking for the small miracles and seeing them everywhere – I have seen a few today! Merry Christmas, friend!
Merry Christmas, Michele! Love your blog!

Merry Christmas to you and yours! Thanks for reading. 🙂
Hi Michele,
Such a beauty filled post today! I have a giant magnolia tree in the yard and I think I will be adding some magnolia leaves to my wreath!! Thanks for the idea! And my fave quote is the one about the gift bags!! Guilty!!

Ha! I bet those leaves will look amazing – I have been experimenting with mixing fresh and faux greenery for a unique look. Happy Tuesday to you! 🙂
Dearest Michele: Here i lay sick and slowly dying. Trying to get my mind off the domestic violence noise coming from across the street by browsing Pinterest. Loving your years-old Christmas post in the middle of this humid summer… for some reason it made me feel uplifted. God bless you for blogging & sharing.

I’m quieting my heart just now and whispering your name in prayer. I can’t begin to understand the trials you must be facing, but I am honored to be a part of your journey – even as it involves suffering and noise. How is it possible that an inner landscape of beauty can thrive and blossom outside of time and space and even bring healing without cure? So much mystery. Sending you peace right where you are.
