Now that Thanksgiving is over, I’m ready to start thinking about Christmas. The last time I went all out decorating for the holidays, I was cleaning up pine needles in my apartment for months. So I’ve been thinking about how I can get the look with less mess. My current inspiration is Alessandra Branca‘s dining room that was just featured on One Kings Lane. Many of the garlands and wreaths are already dried and preserved so that would definitely help to keep things neat. Now I just need to stop buy more presents for myself than I buy for others. Baby steps.
