I finally got some motivation on Saturday to do a little Christmas decorating. It was a cold and rainy day so it seemed like a plan.
The thing about doing it though is that you have to find a place to put the things you are taking away right? Well that to some cleaning out of cabinets….which makes the whole process take longer.
What should have taken 3-4 hours took almost 8 hours. Can you see why I was procrastinating?
Anyway….blah….blah.
I just tweaked a few things on the mantel.
Moved some pillows around just for this picture. Shocking right?
I picked up these paperwhites from Trader Joes and added some black ribbon.
The black lanterns are from HomeGoods. Since I wasn't tired of my winter mantel I just added some flowers to the old bottles and a little greenery.
This is always an easy area to style up….
I picked up the white mould at Scott's for a few bucks and added some oranges for color.
Not much here but some green ornaments on an old tarnished silver tray.
I know what you are thinking….this took 8 hours?
Hee Haw. Nah….I did more in other rooms but gotta go.
9 shopping days left:)

looks gorgeous! when you're done can you come over to my house and do it again? :)
Stunning! I pinned this post like mad. You're the best there is.

If you post something in the morning and I happen to see it on FB I end up running here and getting distracted vs getting in gear to paint! This is a seriously distracting blog post not only because it is drop dead gorgeous but also so unique. Love love love... the black & white theme, the natural wood and your bottles are just breathtaking. I love the paper whites and the all of the evergreens that were placed as if the fell there. Now to Pin some of this and get even more distracted on Pinterest! Thanks Sherry Hart! I had major deadlines today!!!
I love the black, white and green. I hate having to put stuff away, too. My laundry room is full.
Yummy! Just some simple additions (well maybe not so simple since everything had to be moved and stored) make the space feel festive, yet understated! Love it and can't wait to see the rest!
I will never get tired of seeing your house - love what you've done for Christmas! You are a styling maven!
Beautiful, fresh and so updated. Christmas at your home is magazine worthy!!!!
Love, love your decor and the colors you used are perfect. Paperwhites are always a favorite of mine at the holidays!

Fabulous… as usual! :)
I bow down to thee. So many ideas to steal, err borrow. I know all about a 3 hr switcheroo that takes 8 hrs. Styling one shelf leads to organizing an entire avalanche closet just to find my damn mind or that sheet of moss I know I have jammed in there somewhere. Your switcheroo is aces, as always.
So pretty! I love spaces that look like their normal selves with a little holiday zhush. Perfect! Happy holidays!! Gotta go shop . . .
I love how natural all of this feels.
Looks amazing, as always! Love the mantle, all the black and white and fresh greenery. All of my crap is shoved in the guest bedroom closet!
I knew you'd pull through! Love the simplicity of it all and that the decorations don't feel like they were added but has always been there!
you are crazy good, love it all including incredible photography!
happy happy

Just beautiful, Sherry! You are so, so good at styling. Those paperwhites are my favorite part!
You should open a shop because I'd sure like to go shopping in that living room.
Gorgeous, Sherry. You make it look so easy, but you're not fooling me. So freaking hard. Beautiful job :)
Perfectly beautiful. And, now I need some new big black pillows.
I just read three posts trying to catch up, and i have to say ... reading your posts is my absolute favorite thing ever. You never fail to make me laugh and at the same time just go crazy watching your work unfold... so freakin cool. Love your Christmas decor, of course, and can't wait to see the new jobs come to fruition...

I have the same problem - where the hell to put all of the crap I pull down to put up Christmas crap. Your time was well spent though my friend, your home looks fab.
I am really loving black and white for Xmas, and I love the pop of orange. I love non traditional colors for Xmas!
Loving the greenery with that fabulous Black and white decor!!! Wonderful job!!!
Beautiful!
I could spend all day just looking at your home. All I want for Christmas is for you to come decorate. Oh please, oh please Santa, tell me I've been a good girl!!!
Sherry, it is absolutely gorgeous!
Merry Christmas!
Where is everyone getting these great cutting boards from????
I will be pinning these tonight! I just want to live in your house. Nuff said ;-)
What are white moulds and intaglios that you buy at Scott's?
What are white moulds and intaglios that you buy at Scott's? You mentioned them in your Before and After and one of your Christmas blogs (Dec. 2013) By the way, every thing is gorgeous. I'm down sizing and getting rid of most of our old Christmas decorations and holding onto what's precious. Thanks for the inspiration and showing me how to display them in such a special way! And pairing items that you have on display daily with greenery that you can get for free is genius! And no need for storage space....brilliant!!!!!Thanks!!!!!
