Some people might be complaining about the rain but I think it's the perfect weather to be dreaming about a cold and White Christmas!
I love the use of use of mirrored surfaces and crystal chandeliers to add extra sparkle to the rooms; look at the pretty crystal drops, glass balls, and clear lights on the tree!
Even the bedrooms are dressed in holiday style!

Since a Down Under Christmas is alway HOT, I love all of these ideas! I am definitely going to think about decorating with a coastal twist this year!
What a great way way to turn our summer beach treasures into Christmas decorations!
I love this Christmas tree of cut branches adorned with white and silver ornaments.

I can see that Christmas at our place is going to very White indeed.

I love the Christmas whites!! I've had Christmas on my mind a lot lately for some reason!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love this!!! I have a group of online friends who are mad for Christmas, too, and I do a White Christmas post in August every year, while we're all sweltering...I will surely direct them here!
ReplyDeleteI am in Southern California, and the closest I ever get to white Christmas is some rain. We do get the occasional 80 degree holiday; I am in awe of you folks in Australia who can cope with the heat at Christmas time!
I don't like Christmas much because I work retail, but with all this really hot weather we're getting-I'd take some cold, wet weather. The images you choose were absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, a blog after my own heart! I am sooo thinking of Xmas already!!! I turned up the music on this and my husband turned to me and said "still a ways to go my love".
ReplyDeleteThank you for getting me even MORE excited for the holidays! I'm following your blog:)
What beautiful photos! I don't have that artistic flair; I always admire people who can decorate like that ....
ReplyDeleteWelcome to your first White Wednesday..I'm on my third and having great fun with it! Your winter whites are wonderful, and offered a welcome cool moment in our hot and humid Vancouver summer...

I can't even think about Christmas yet....I actually, to be honest, start thinking of Christmas around December 15th every year...I work better under pressure!!! LOL! Beautiful pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of photos! I'm so making a seashell wreath this year. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI Loved thinking of Christmas to Beat the Heat Here in Michigan..... Before We know it, it will be here again.... Love all the Whites

With a "swoosh" your blog transported me back to my childhood! You background vintage wrapping paper is so fun!
ReplyDeleteLove your idea of a White Christmas look for your hot Christmas. Here in deep south Texas it is not uncommon to have our a.c. on during the holidays. Although it is not the weather you experience but white is definitely refreshing.
I'll be back!

I have been dreaming of a White Christmas my whole life...the closest I ever get is watching the movie! Although its "technically" Winter in Cali at Christmastime...its not what you'd call cold! LOVE those pics...we are in for a bit of a heatwave this weekend, but you have put me in the mood for Christmas carols! I think I'll got turn the A/C WAY up so can put on some flannel jammies! ;}

Natasha,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog. Also, thank you for this blog, I saw it and honestly I was leery, but I LOVE it. I have already made it a favorite. I had already decided that I want all my Christmas decor to be white this year and this post confirmed it!
Joyfully,
Elizabeth Ann
What a lovely blog I will certainly sign up to your blog. Last year we had a white christmas, the first one in years and years in the Netherlands. Christmas is the time of the year I love. Thanks for all the wonderful pictures. Sandra
ReplyDeleteNatasha, thank you for sharing all these images. Since we moved and I have been decorating our new house with lots of light colors and whites, the thought did occur to me that I might need to change our Christmas "colors" to enhance the decor and these ideas are just perfect! Love the beachy themed Christmas!

Hi Natasha,
ReplyDeleteI just became your newest follower! I love Blog land! I just started two weeks ago, finding more and more interesting people and amazing blogs! And now I found yours! Normally I don't like music on blogs, but I was singing a long with all your songs, such a great idea! I already posted something today, but I will again, to tell more people about your christmas blog! Thanks and if you want, come on over to my side, it's in Switzerland (cold and white christmas country).
All the best,
Maureen
