Decorating With Urns {Christmas Edition}

Today I’m sharing urns & more urns!

Urns on Porches, Coffee Tables.. 
Even Cradling Table Top Trees.

I recently shared a post where I featured a
5-Minute Christmas Urn Arrangement.

I’ve went and gone URN crazy!

One day, maybe my wee one will grown into
 one of those big, porch sized lovlies?

I sure hope so!!

Until then, I’ll look at these and day dream.
Care to join me?

Here is a perfect example.
This could be my urns big sister!
This one is larger, but the idea is still the same.
Urn, Greens, Ornaments.
The lime green & pink is really fun and 
so playful. I like the color combo.

I’ve had this photo saved 
for a very, very long time.

With the way pretty pictures spread like wildfire.. you may have seen it. Two of these would be very welcome at my front door. Sadly, every time I run across anything remotely similar, they are way out of my price range. I wish I had terrible taste. It would be so much more affordable!

This look is a classic and an all-time favorite.
There is just something about urns flanking an entryway. 
So elegant.
I think I might love more the just the urns in this photograph .. we had a home once that was full of used brick 
and I loved the warmth, texture and charm. 
I miss it lots. 

Southern Living Christmas Porch with Urn Display

Urns come in lots of shapes, sizes and materials.
This vintage silver beauty is a real looker.
I’d give it a starring role on my table top too if it were mine.

This is about the style of large urn I could afford! haha
Isn’t it great though?
What a super alternative.

This one is a Winter Wonderland Beauty!
Complete with real snow.
I like the variety of greenery in this one.
Lots of texture.. and the burlap 
is pretty cute too.

The fabulous urn used in this table top display is one of my favorite shapes. I like the softly rounded base. It’s not overly ornate either and would suit my home best.

This urn is much more sleek and modern then the others, but that arrangement design is fantastic!
… and the color?
 Mwah! Love it.

You may have seen this photograph around.
There is a reason it’s so popular.
The urn is beautiful but in this case,
the petite Christmas tree steals the show.
(maybe even my heart just a little)

This Perfectly Aged Urn Is A Real Beauty, Filled with Natural Elements and Pale Aqua Ornaments.Wish we could get a better look at this porch! The shutters look very interesting.

Wow. I have to say, this design really makes a statement. Look at the large branches they used to decorate this urn. It would overpower my poor, little porch, but in this setting, with all that heavy concrete work, it really 
holds it’s own and commands attention.

These urns are pulling Christmas tree stand duty and doing it well! The gal even made her own trees out of tomato cages. She has a great tutorial on her blog if you’d like to make some too.

There is a Christmas tree nestled in this urn too but it’s just a small part of the 
amazing entryway styled by who else? 
Pottery Barn!
You have to give it to them…
They really know how to do it!!

This is a brilliant solution if you don’t want to care for plants or flowers in the cold Winter months. Just plant present seeds.
Why did I not think of this?

I’ll close with this little bit of 
Christmas Sweetness.
I think the ornaments look like candy on top!

Clearly.. my heart Yearns
for some Urns.
{come on, I could not pass that up!}

Who knows?
Maybe that will be the next great treasure I find.
I’m always looking

I’ll be sharing another 
Cheap & Easy
Christmas quickie tomorrow.

Stop By And See Me

 

On a separate note;
 I want to share that I, like many others, was deeply effected by Fridays tragedy. I posted a Christmas article on Friday.. and promptly removed it the minute I learned what had happened. I was very quiet and stayed away from social media over the weekend. I did share a post on facebook from Beth at Home Stories A to Z  about how to talk to your kids about what happened that I thought might be very helpful. I also shared a link to a post from Amy at The Idea Room titled My Thoughts. Many of her thoughts mirror my own, but she is much better spoken then I. 
Fox Hollow Cottage was silent on Monday the 17th but I have a prior blogging commitment today and must post. Please know that I am not blogging in a thoughtless fashion and this in no way reflects on my feelings about the horrible events that transpired in Newtown, Ct. 
I have lost sleep and cried many tears.

An official fund for victims’ families, and the community as a whole, has now been established: 
The Sandy Hook School Support Fund, set up by the United Way of Western Connecticut will provide support services to families and the community. All donations to this fund will go directly to those affected.
