My Christmas decorating this year is on the minimalist side. Some greens cut from the yard, candy canes with blue wool bows and some shells are what I came up with this year. I had grand plans, but in the end simple won. It usually does.
I draped some woven place mats over the backs of the white chairs to add some color.
Somehow blue kept coming up in the color mix. It is not a traditional Christmas color. It just sort of happened and I went with it.
I’m calling it Americana meets the seaside …
and a bright green cupboard.
It’s eclectic.

If I do any decorating at all this year it will definitely be a minilimist style. I like your idea of fresh greens, and your green cupboard is still one of my all time favorites!

Beautiful. Just beautiful. Less is certainly more, and I love this. I have not done much decorating at all, but have been thinking simple, simple, simple for days. You just can’t go wrong. I love the candy cane tree. Brava!
