Xmas 2011 - Fresh and green decor

By Suze on Dec 26, 2011 | In Christmas 2011

Who says after Christmas you have to put away your holiday decor until next year??? Personally I like to keep it up in my home at least until January 6th! Specially if the decor is more generically "wintry" than strictly related to Christmas itself.

For example, I think I've told you already: this year I'm crazy about anything "natural style" for decor. Simplicity, neutral colors and materias such as burlap, wood, kraft paper mixed with white and green... And what's more "natural style" than using actual fresh branches or plants for your decor?

I love these examples of gorgeous inspirational mantelpiece decor (ideal also for windowsills o shelves)...
And look at this genius idea: mini-terrarium living ornaments!

Then there's the wreaths. The most beautiful wreaths can be created with fresh branches. From country to elegant, there's a great variety of styles to try playing wiht ribbons and other accesories. Some of my favorite wreaths:

And what about you? What's your 2011 favorite holiday/wintry palette?
