\"Balancing<\/div>\n

Without a doubt, Christmas is my favorite holiday! It\u2019s a time filled with love, joy and bonding. Growing up in a large family, I remember our home coming alive for Christmas. There was music, laughter and good conversations \u2014 all happening over a feast! Between the family traditions and quality time spent together, I\u2019ve collected so many fond memories that will last a lifetime!<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to home decor, I\u2019m a neutral lover at heart. So naturally, I gravitate more towards neutral Christmas decor as well. This year has been a first for us in many ways. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this is the first year we didn\u2019t have a family vacation. It\u2019s also the first year we\u2019re decorating our courtyard for the holiday, and including more traditional Christmas colors and decor. <\/span><\/p>\n

With my girls missing out on so many activities this year, it felt more important to make Christmas extra special and extra festive for them! When <\/span>The Home Depot<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>invited us to participate in their Holiday Style Challenge, I saw this as an awesome opportunity to have some styling fun with my girls.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pops Of Color For The Kids<\/h3>\n

\"Balancing<\/p>\n

Bright pops of color are my girls\u2019 favorite so I enlisted the help of my 7-year-old daughter to outline what she wanted in our courtyard holiday decor! The Home Depot has everything you need to decorate your home, both indoor and outdoor, for the holidays! We purchased all our holiday goodies online and had them shipped right to our front door. I was able to strike a compromise with my daughter and balance both my love of neutrals and her love of color. We started with this super cute and fun Christmas yard stake<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to add a pop of color at our front door. It\u2019s the perfect welcoming sign and just the right height to really make my girls feel included in this styling process!<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s that saying? Go big or go home?! The joy and pure excitement that filled my 7-year-old\u2019s face at the sight of this Santa\u2019s sleigh and reindeer<\/a><\/span>\u00a0was priceless! The vibrant colors and LED lighting makes this a fun outdoor holiday decor that\u2019s sure to bring cheer to the kids.<\/span><\/p>\n

Neutral Touches For Me<\/h3>\n

I love styling with pine cones for Christmas, so when I saw these pine cone grapevine wreaths<\/a><\/span>, I immediately pictured them hanging on our window. They offer the perfect balance of greenery and pine cones. We amped up the festivity of these wreaths by wrapping some copper string lighting<\/a><\/span>\u00a0around them, creating a magical glow.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Balancing<\/p>\n

Garlands around the doorway just works! Our courtyard styling wouldn\u2019t have been complete without some frosted garlands<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to add that snowy touch. The pre-lit lighting and pine cones on this garland allowed me to infuse some simplicity at our entryway.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Happy Blend Of Both<\/h3>\n

We also included a small, glittery pine tree<\/a><\/span>\u00a0with a cute and subtle red bow. The flocked appearance reminded my older daughter of snow and the height was just perfect for my baby girl to reach. We even threw in some warm string lights<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to create a whimsical feel!<\/span><\/p>\n

Why have one wreath when you can have three? My daughter and I share a mutual love of this 3-ring wreath<\/a><\/span>. I\u2019m a big fan of the dark greenery and pine cones while she loves the bright pops of red. This pre-lit, pre-decorated wreath set is a winner in my book. It added that traditional Christmas element and contrasted nicely against the frosted garlands<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Balancing<\/p>\n

There\u2019s more than one way to decorate with garlands. Hanging this pine Christmas garland<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>on top of our outdoor window ledge was just another way. It balanced the lovely grapevine wreaths<\/a><\/span>\u00a0above, by adding extra greenery and color that wasn\u2019t overwhelming. The fact that the garland is battery operated also means I don\u2019t have to worry about plugs and outlets which was an added bonus!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Balancing<\/p>\n

Lastly, we included this white deer display<\/a><\/span>\u00a0because it\u2019s so eye-catching when lit up! It\u2019s quite mesmerizing and really cozies up our front entryway! It\u2019s not only a beautiful display, but it also gives all the Christmas feels! I adore the subtlety of the red bow and gold antlers.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m so happy to have had this awesome opportunity to share how possible it is to blend home decor styles! I\u2019m particularly loving the pre-lit and pre-decorated holiday pieces because they make styling so much simpler! I enjoyed creating a bright and festive holiday display that\u2019s been fun for our entire family! I can\u2019t put a price on the joy and twinkle in my girls\u2019 eyes when we come out at night to enjoy our decorated courtyard space. The magic of Christmas is very real and we can always use an extra dose of holiday cheer. Let\u2019s remember the blessings we have to be thankful for and from my family to yours, I hope you have a Merry Christmas! <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
