it's the most wonderful time of the year.. to dress up the mantel in woodsy evergreens & winter whites! talk about the ultimate hygge vibes. with things being a little different this season, i have taken a simple & minimalistic approach to my holiday decor. we won't be hosting our annual christmas parties & large gatherings, so i kept this in mind when decorating modest house for christmas.
i went for a wintery approach, rather than your traditional red & green christmas theme. think, a nordic white christmas! decor that can stay up throughout the winter season as well. with the help of my friends over at crate & barrel canada, my vision came together beautifully. the cypress garland, cypress wreath & the faux potted cypress tree look so natural & life-like, but with none of the mess that comes with real greens! as much as i love the look of fresh garlands, it only took one year of constant sweeping to never want real garlands again. now i can reuse these year after year. i paired the cypress with the most gorgeous set of mercury glass trees. i love the modern look of them, as my design style is mixing modern & classic elements. the mercury glass trees come in white, pewter & olive (sold both separately & as a set).
now, those chunky knit stockings is what really brings in those hygge vibes! seriously, how cozy looking are they? paired with the modern & minimal chalet zinc stocking holders, which can be personalized with your favourite ornament! to complete the coziness, i added the pantherette rug (designed by leanne ford whose collection i am obsessed with) & payton natural & grey cane rocking chair. that corner in our living room has been sitting empty for years, just waiting for the perfect rocking chair & we finally found it! i can't wait to spend the holiday season cozied up in this space & for years to come.
