Believe it or not, Christmas is a mere ten days away! Eek! I am like a little kid when it comes to Christmas... there is something so magical about this time of year. And with four holiday parties in the next three days, a short work week ahead of me and a weekend at my parent's house welcoming Santa down the chimney, I've got a lot to be excited about!!
Today, Michaela is hosting a holiday decor link up party as our last link up in the Christmas Cheer in the Blogosphere party. I thought I'd use it as an opportunity to share all of the decor we've got around our place. So grab a hot toddy and some gingerbread, and welcome to Christmas at Ten June!
Over on my new gallery wall, I used my DIY clothespin art as a Christmas card holder! I simply wrapped these little pinecone wire ornaments (Hobby Lobby) around each clothespin for a holiday inspired theme.
I actually pulled a few of my favorite Christmas cards from last year to help fill up the frame for pictures. I love looking back on old Christmas cards!
And yes, that is Tucker and Maggie dressed up like Santa. It happens.
Above the cardholder, you can see my DIY chalkboard is all dressed up for Christmas. The simple phrase "Believe" really captures the magic of Christmas, don't you think?
You can see that our front door and the front of our house is decorated with wreaths on each window. Here's a shot from last year's Christmas house tour. Minus a minor crooked ribbon disagreement (wink wink hubs), the wreaths look the same this year.
You can also see our Christmas mantel in the mirror on the gallery wall!
(geeez, somebody clean that mirror, would ya??)
I love this year's classic red + white theme.
You can also see our Christmas tree with its red + white + silver ornaments and DIY pom pom garland. What a fun shot. The whole living room is decked out!
Can we all just take a moment to oogle at how fabulous my all-white painted plantation shutters look? Makes momma happy.

Oh and don't forget my DIY cranberry glass ornaments on the tree. I love how sparkly they are!
Over in the corner of the room, I set up a Christmas vignette with a tiny tree and DIY Christmas pillow.
As you can see, we mainly only decorate the living room. I've got some greenery in the kitchen and a Santa or two scattered throughout the house, but I focus most of my attention in this room since we spend the most time in it. But don't forget some of the Christmas magic that was made over in the kitchen, in the form of Christmas cake pops! Yum.
I also hung last year's yarn wreath in the kitchen on the door to our sunroom. I traded in the felt flowers for some sparkly red berries. Red + sparkle is the name of the game this season!
So there you have it! Christmas here at Ten June.
