Pro Tip: These will also make a great gift for friends and family, so make up some extras to pass out! Joy Door Letters Image credits: Space_Cat via Canva I’d recommend hanging them on a post, on the edge of the balcony or edge of the roof, or a bare tree easily seen from the windows. The birds will love them (and so will the cats, if you hang them where the kitties can keep watch!) and they add a truly rustic, natural-feeling touch to your outdoor holiday décor. I love the idea of decorating with something useful, too – like these birdseed ornaments.

Made in a Day offers us this great tutorial for these beautiful, rustic little buffalo plaid trees you can put anywhere in the house or on the porch.

I dried the oranges myself and strung them with fishing line. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for years and I just love the Scandinavian feel it brings! On my tiny tabletop Noble I added a simple dried orange garland to the twinkle lights. The wicker tree collar is a new addition and I love that it’s more casual than a skirt, as well as the texture it adds!

And again, I skipped garland in order to keep it simple. I used lots of silver mercury glass ornaments and pinecones, with some touches of white. The tree is decorated similar to the living room tree in order to keep some continuity between the two spaces. But I’ve also added some European touches like dried oranges and I’m loving the simplicity the touches of nature create. Yesterday I shared my French-inspired neutral Christmas living room, and now I’m continuing my holiday decorating in the family room! I’ve kept many of the same elements, like the neutrals of white and silver. Whites and silvers, along with natural elements like pinecones and dried oranges, create a simple but elegant holiday with a nod to European Christmases of years past. Today’s post features gorgeous neutral French farmhouse Christmas decor in the family room.
