Whether you're into French Country style or not, if you love Christmas, this is a gorgeous book to sit and look thru. Page after page of beautiful trees, holiday decor, etc. I LOVE it. I'm sure I'll be taking some ideas from it for my own holiday decorating.

Finishing this a few days past the Christmas holiday, but great to sit and slowly enjoy all the lovely, detailed images. Allison had charming suggestions for multiple, themed tree decorations (so many beauties!), tablescapes for entertaining, and inspiring ways to add touches of the festive season throughout the home.

This is a beautiful, inspirational decorating book for Christmas. It features 25 different Christmas trees styled in unique themes to fit rooms. It also includes plans for decorating (including shopping for vintage decor items throughout the summer and forcing bulbs). The photography is gorgeous! Although I borrowed this from my library, I would consider buying a copy to keep in my repertoire of Christmas decorating inspiration books and magazines.

Beautiful pictures! The trees were gorgeous! A lot of emphasis on just using greenery and baubles to decorate, but it did look lovely.

So beautiful, calming and sweet.
Reminds me of growing up in the country and visiting a friend of the family who recently passed away.
A gorgeous feast for the eyes.


Highly recommended

Nice pictures, which is what you get a book like for. Feel free to quit reading the text in any Christmas book the first time you hit the word "magical", which will probably be very soon.
