Wreath Watch 2015

Hello friends!

With the flurry of holiday activity upon us, I can’t help but find myself (once again) drawn to wreaths.  I have more wreaths than any human being should own, but yet I still find myself drawn to them – and purchasing more of them – with each passing holiday season.

If you look at my front porch from last year’s Christmas tour, it should give you a hint that I’m a bit of a wreath hoarder collector (don’t miss the wreath on the bench).

I guess what I love about wreaths is that there are so many ways to incorporate them in your home over the holidays.  Plus, they seem to lend themselves to a timeless and classic look.

I absolutely adore this bright and cheerful holiday kitchen.  With the addition of some pops of red and beautiful wreaths on the window, it’s my definition of holiday perfection.

How about a high impact statement wreath as you enter a home?  My wheels are turning already…  I love this.

How about a double door entry with coordinating wreaths and garland?

How about incorporating wreaths into your dining room tablescape?

And they’re gorgeous in cozy vignettes too.

And a wreath trio?  You have me at hello.  If I had a single front door, I would so do this.

This is another gorgeous front door – the dogs are pretty cute too.

I think the festive wreath decor in this room is one of my all-time favorites.

It may or may not have inspired my own holiday decor back in 2013…

Wreaths on the backs of chairs are another favorite of mine.  Kris made a gorgeous dining room even prettier by incorporating wreaths.

Or these crisp looking chairs with a gorgeous wreath for contrast.

And how cute are these Christmas cookies?  I can’t imagine the time that went in to making them – labor intensive I’m sure, and almost too pretty to eat!  Almost.

You can also go non-traditional with your wreath decor like Nest of Posies did.  Love these colors!

If you’re on the lookout for some new wreaths – I found these cute ones at IKEA when I was there recently.  I didn’t even know that I needed them until IKEA put them between me and the checkout counter.  Those sneaky IKEA marketing people…  They know what they’re doing, and they do it well.

When all else fails, use a wreath as part of a word in your holiday decorating.

Love this look from Fyne’s Designs for a front porch – I think last year’s mantel decor may be on the front porch this year.  We’ll see.

How perfect is this Christmas scene of holiday joy from Golden Boys and Me?  Wowza!

Are you wreath obsessed too?  Are you using wreaths in your holiday decorating this year?
