Christmas in the Solarium

Not a lot changed in the solarium since autumn. You may recall a post in November when I highlighted my botanical tree adorned in dried wildflowers, plants, grasses and leaves. (If you missed it, you can click here.) 

Since we enjoy the tree so much as it was, I did not change anything on it over Thanksgiving weekend while decorating for the Christmas season. Originally, I had intended to add small mercury acorn ornaments that I have because I thought a bit of "glitz" would dress up the pine. In the end, though, I decided to leave it just as it is. I switched out the autumn pillow and throw and replaced it with a sherpa throw.

The fireplace needed a refresh, so I added a primitive Santa whom I placed on a wooden slab and garnished with pine, pinecones and tiny bits of dried flowers and preserved leaves.



I coupled it with my rattan lantern with a battery-operated candle.

The solarium corner is set up for a bit of Christmas reading...if you have the time. 😉



How are your Christmas preparations coming along?
