A neutral Christmas entryway with simple decor can make any guest feel welcome.
It doesn't have to be fussy or fancy to feel festive! I made simple changes, like flocking an old Christmas tree and setting it out on the front stoop. A few little things make all the difference!
I didn't go overboard with my entryway decor this year. I loved keeping it simple without a lot of fuss. It just goes to show you can make a space look festive without filling every little nook.
My front stoop looks very similar to last year, with the same pre-lit burlap wreath. I just love it! And I love that the lights are on a timer, so they come on at the same time every day and stay on for about 6 hours. I got mine from Lowe’s a few years ago, but unfortunately they don't sell it anymore and I can't find one similar.
I flocked an old Christmas tree I hadn't used in a few years and placed it outside with a couple of decor pieces I've had for a while. I flocked my main tree this year (tutorial here) and had extra flocking powder, so I decided to put it to use! I'll probably bring it inside in a few days and put it in the kitchen or my daughter's room. I'm not sure how long the flocking will hold up outdoors.
The only thing I bought new for this space is the door mat from the Hearth and Hand Collection with Magnolia. It had been a few years since I replaced my mat, so it was time. I love it! (I actually have a different outdoor rug on the way that I also love, so the look may change again, and I'll move this one to the garage door. )
I love this wooden tray with beaded handles, and the birch bark candles will look cute all winter long. Even the trio of bottle brush trees will work all winter. So this look may stay the same for a while.
The blush slippers and blush chunky cardigan are two of my most recent favorite closet purchases. And the pretty rustic lantern was one of my gift ideas for people who love farmhouse decor.

My O Holy Night print from Lindsay Letters is so pretty. I adore it! And the white rustic tree anchoring the other side of the table is from Hobby Lobby a year or two ago.
I love having a tree in that right corner of the living room, so people see it as soon as they walk in.
The advent calendar on the wall is a DIY project I finished earlier this year. See the full tutorial here. I know this is supposed to be a neutral entryway, but I love the pop of color the calendar brings with traditional reds and greens, plus my favorite blues and pinks!
And you get a sneak peek at my wrapping station, which I'll be sharing tomorrow! I love that desk now that I've painted it with white chalk paint. It was my college desk, with a dark brown stain. It was beat up and tucked into the corner of my bedroom where no one would see it, usually piled with laundry that needed ironing.
I decided to grab my paintbrush the other day, and in an hour it was transformed! I love how it looks now, and I plan to keep it in the living room as a homework and office space.
I like to work at a desk, and my husband likes me to sit in the same room as him while he relaxes at night. We don't always talk, but it's nice to be near each other. So I usually just plop my laptop in my lap in the chair. But now I plan to take advantage of the desk in here!
How do you like to decorate for Christmas? Do you go big with lots of red and green, or do you prefer a more neutral vibe with some blues and pinks thrown in for good measure?
