If you celebrate the holidays with trees and wreaths – have you got your decorations up yet?  Or are you maybe thinking something…maybe…a little different this year?

When it comes to indoor decor, I’m definitely not a Pottery Barn or a Crate & Barrel person…but when Crrte & Barrel launched their modern-aesthetic catalog, CB2, I feel in love.  The spaces are minimalist and well-designed; contemporary and unified.  Maybe a bit youthful and hipster (but when did that become an insult, O Internet?)  The design sense is just amaaaahhhzing.

In any case, I always love falling into the CB2 catalog and dreaming of redoing my spaces…perhaps it’s just the lack of kid-clutter I find so appealing? 😉  Their ideas for DIY alternative holiday trees are a  great place to start:
