It’s official…the holiday season is in full swing and there is evidence of it everywhere, even in LA! Hollywood Boulevard kicked things off this past Sunday by shutting down for the annual Hollywood Christmas Parade. Sunset Plaza followed suit and is now adorned in lights, turning it into a winter wonderland when the sun dips below the horizon each night. Even the fifteen foot tall tree in my building’s lobby is up, there to greet me every morning as I go to work. It is impossible to ignore that the holidays are all around.
With Christmas Eve just three weeks away I’m finding decorating influences everywhere. If you’ve visited before and are familiar with my Halloween and Thanksgiving decor inspiration, these images of neutral and modern Christmas decor…with a twist…will not come as a surprise. I’m finding that I am becoming increasingly clear on what my ideal aesthetic is the more I blog and the more I share with you which is a really neat thing! So without further ado, let me share with you what is inspiring me this holiday season.
