I work from home because I am naturally a homebody and I am not much for office chit-chat. Ask my colleagues. The homebody side of me balances my Realtor life where I show and sell other people’s homes. I am very task-oriented because, like most of us, we juggle lots of projects for work or home. So this year I decided to add a little pine garland in my home office. It is where I spend the bulk of the day so why not add a little Christmas with garland and lights?
PINE NEEDLE PINTEREST CHALLENGE
This month’s Pinterest Challenge, coordinated by our friend Cindy who blogs over at County Road 407, was all about garland. If you are stopping by from Niky’s blog welcome to Everyday Edits. My name is Laura. I would LOVE it if you signed up for my weekly recap called the Weekend Edit over here.
This challenge was the perfect reason to decorate my office with pine garland. For this month it was up for interpretation without our usual inspirational photo. Which made it a little more like showing up at a party and not sure if you were going to be over or underdressed.
Do you know what I mean? We were free to fall on this challenge. I can’t wait to see how the other ladies use garland.
Do you know how many types of garland exist? I knew the style I liked I just did not know the proper name. Apparently, I am a long needle pine girl.
And I found the most amazing long needle pine garland at this Etsy shop. These guys are great! I got a handwritten thank you note when I placed a second order a few days after I received my first order.
So to kick off the holidays I decorated my newly painted dining room hutch that had a relocation to my home office. I added a birdhouse from a challenge last year and a little red berry sphere for a pop of color against the Hale Navy walls.
Some of you may recognize the branches from last month’s Pinterest Challenge to my office. I am in love with these branches from my yard!
Would love a pin!
Laura,
I love this garland. Now I need to decorate my workshop. Thanks for the inspiration. Love doing these together.
What a pretty garland! I adore the white cabinet too. So happy to be on tour with you!
Laura, I love the sugar pine needle garland you’ve found! It is really nice!! This summer I found the garland I am using on our mantel this year, and it, too, was very realistic looking. I know you will enjoy your pretty garland every time you sit in your office. Very festive!!
Hugs,
Barb 🙂
Your garland is beautiful Laura!
thank you cindy! I love these challenges! Merry Christmas! laura
What a beautiful display on top of your hutch with the pine garland. Love the urn in here too and did you make the red berry sphere? Pinning!
I need to remember Etsy when ordering things. I love that pine needle garland and it looks so festive on your cabinet. And how nice to actually get a hand written note?! That’s something you don’t see anymore. I’d love working in your office. Hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful and filled with laughter and memories. Having the kids home is awesome, right?! Thanks for joining in. pinned
Your garland looks lovely atop your beautiful white hutch. The navy wall contrast is stunning, too!
Pinned for inspiration!

Your garland looks beautiful!
We were on the same wavelength on this one! If you’ve got some pretty in your work area, it inspires you! Love the white cabinet against the navy walls, and the green garland with it; so striking!
Hi lora, thank you! I do love the navy walls! laura
Laura, what a great idea to decorate your office with garland. Since we spend so much time there, it should also be decorated. I love your choice of long needle garland. It looks so real. The branches from your yard are a great contrast to the greenery.
Yes, go decorate your home office Carol! It makes paying the bills a little more fun! ;0)
