'Tis the season to start contemplating Christmas decor. And this year, I find myself torn- while I absolutley adore the simplicity and calm of a "white" christmas color scheme...
An all-white Christmas is soo coastal!
My seashell and starfish collection fits right in with an all-white holiday.
On the other hand...who can resist the classic colorscheme of red...
it also looks great with greenery and seashells and starfish.
Red can also look totally "coastal"...
So much inspiration, it's hard to decide which direction to go!? You will just have to wait and see...I love Christmas time- cooking and decorating and entertaining, so stay tuned to see what happens here this holiday season at Starfish Cottage!

Just gorgeous! I love white though, but nice if to the white we can introduce some greens and reds...stunning! Hugs,

I did an all white Christmas for the first time last year. I loved it, this year I may add a color, haven't decided yet. Either way you go I know it will be a treat for the eyes. I'm so looking forward to seeing what you do.

I was wondering if you'll "kick it up a notch" by adding some traditional Christmas colors to your decor. That gets my vote, but I know whatever you do will be gorgeous! You definitely have a great eye. :-) Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Kristy, I just spent about an hour looking through your blog. I love everything about it. The pictures are terrific and so inspiring. Loved your dining room buffet/craft cabinet. I think I may just implement the same idea. Thanks for providing such a fun blog to read.

Yesterday was rainy, cold, windy but this morning the sun is shining bright and I feel like galavanting today..first stop probably will be Home Goods..hadn't been there for a long time and you have inspired me with your decorating projects. I've got something in mind but it may change once I get there. You know if you don't get something when you first see it there, it won't be there if you go back in a day or two.
