Christmas Decorating Trends We're Loving

Jay Johnson - Those who read our holiday decorating posts know that we're not big into going "whole hog" when it comes to decorating. We're not anti-festive by any means, but we believe you can cross the line from decking the halls to kitsching-up your home. Touches of color, strong themes carried out in a room, and a dollop of good taste will get you through the holidays.

These are great photos.
I love the branch over the table - that is great. Alternative ideas for decorating are something I am always looking for. The small potted plants are reallly great options - you can replant them - or if they are dwarf firs, keep them all year.
Metal and wooden trees are a new trend. Festive Tree out of New Hampshire makes cool sculpted wooden trees that are simple, yet elegant. www.festivetree.com
Organic and natural ornaments are a new trend as well - either buy or make them yourself!
