It is a Marvelous Monday in Michigan. The sun is shining on the porch and it is gorgeous. Check out my stories on Instagram to see the real pics. Today is the day for fun and Christmas decor. It may be a little soon but very excited to get ready for the Holidays. Do you decorate early? I like enjoying the holidays and doing it ahead helps the stress level. Right LOL

I always start in the dining room so I’ll show you before and afters. The table needs to be naked first so I can start with a clean slate. It’s my favorite way to begin the whole decor process. Then I slowly start adding pieces that go with the theme.

This year it is Winter White (perfect for after the holidays as well) touches of Christmas Red along with gold and silver.

I always like bringing in the red because of the red checkered @Broyhill settee. The teddy bear pillow (center) @ralphlauren and two large red paisley pillows @woolrichhome

I choose white because of the accessories in the room. The white gauze curtains from @homegoods the pillows @pier1 and the throws @potterybarn

On top of white tablecloth a silver table runner by @potterybarn.

The gold rim white decorative dinner dishes are @potterybarn as well.

I’ll be doing more Christmas decorating this week. Come back and visit what’s happening here at the cozy cottage.

Thank you for stopping by. Did you enjoy your visit? I hope so and will come back again.

Best Regards Dana
