A Cozy Country Christmas: Decorating For The Holidays

If you're anything like me, you love a cozy home for the holidays.  And nothing says cozy more than country - farmhouse decor.  Even if your home isn't typical farmhouse or country, I bet there are little touches of country-like whimsy here, there and somewhere in your home at Christmastime, yeah?

A Cozy Country Christmas: Decorating For The Holidays

What Design Elements Make Up A Country Christmas Home?
​

• Patterns such as traditional plaid, buffalo check and black and white and red and white gingham
• Heavier fabrics, like burlap and muslin
• Bringing the outdoors in, with natural elements such as wood, twigs, branches, pine cones and of course, pine garland (preferably the real deal)
• Woodland creatures--bears, moose, deer, etc. (preferably NOT the real deal)
• White twinkle lights, fairy lights, candles and lots of natural light
