holiday-ish-ness

I've been having a hard time figuring out how I want to decorate the house for Christmas.

I know this sounds kind of stupid but I really can't decide what I want to do.

I know I want to use greenery on the mantle and keep things soft and cozy indoors.

I have no idea what to do outside.

Our front entrance is not exactly....enticing.

I don't want lights on the house

but I want lights somewhere outside.

Basically, I want Sarah Richardson to come tell me what to do.

I know it's not a big deal.

I can change it if I don't like it

and

I can always do something different next year.

But since this is our first Christmas in our house, I want it to be just right.

Last night I found these pillows at Crate and Barrel

and I know I want them.

They are subtle Christmas

and I think they would brighten up our huge brown leather couch

(which we, and everyone who comes into our living room, loves, but it's still huge and brown)

Maybe I can make some progress this weekend.

I've promised Fella that no decorations will go up until December.

But that doesn't mean I can't plan it all out.

Wish me luck.
