It's beginning to look a lot like burlap

So, I wasn't getting excited about Christmas. In fact, I was SO unexcited about Christmas, that I didn't even want to put up a tree. Fortunately, I am out of that. (see what I mean about blogging? It always helps to vent). Why the sudden change? Well, I was staring at my blog and I decided I'm in love with the burlap background. So in love with BURLAP that I decided to decorate my entire christmas decor in burlap. I'm going to make every bit of it. I better get started NOW but, I think I can do it. Here's a quick checklist:

• Burlap Wreath for front door
• Burlap Wreath for front window (indoor)
• Burlap Christmas trees for my two end tables
• Burlap inspired Garland
• Burlap ribbon for my tree
• Burla tree skirt
• Burlap runner for my table
• Random burlap inspired ornaments
• Burlap, Burlap, and more Burlap

See, I'm tired of traditional reds and greens and golds. I want a neutral themed Christmas. If I have to make every decoration in this house, I will make it happen.

I also am thinking about inviting the in-laws for Christmas. I want to have MY family at MY house eating MY food this year. Is that too much to ask?

Side note, I'm not putting up my inspiration photos because I don't want any of my friends to steal my idea (although I'm SURE most of them have already decorated.) So, pics of MY house to come soon... stand by!
