Classic Farmhouse Christmas
Make your holidays warm and wonderful by making your home more comfortable and welcoming. The good news is, it doesn't have to be fancy and expensive. Farmhouse style is perfectly imperfect, it uses the Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi where there is beauty in age, nature and simplicity. Farmhouse style combines non-fussy furnishings with vintage decor (real or reproductions), items found in nature (pinecones, twigs and greenery), and mixes in rustic and primitive items like old baskets, galvanized metal and handmade items. Even if your home’s style leans more modern, you can still sprinkle in touches of farmhouse cozy by using decor full of texture, think white fur throws, natural colors and biophilic items.
First up: Nothing says "country Christmas" quite like greenery garland sourced right from the farm. This beautiful DIY swag was made by tying cypress and pine clippings onto an inexpensive faux garland, then decorated with craft-store berries and oversized burlap bows.
