I LOVE this time of year. It’s a few weeks out of our lives that we take the time to beautify our surroundings, making sure everything sparkles with a holiday glow. We all become artists, creating vignettes of tinsel and holly, making our homes magical for our loved ones, our children, ourselves. A wonderful trend that I’m seeing is holiday decorating that is inspired by what we love to surround ourselves with every day. ( Oh, there’s still room for those homemade childhood ornaments! )
I thought it would be fun to pair some beautifully decorated Christmas trees with a work of art. I’m no stranger to art-inspired tree decorating, take a look at these trees I decorated for the gallery where I was working a few years ago. Just goes to show, any piece of art can inspire your holiday decor. So let’s deck our Artsy halls!

Hope you’re inspired to think about your art collection when decorating for the holidays. If it’s too late for this year, there’s always 2012.. it will be here before we know it!
