Office Christmas Tour 2025

 

When I worked in the Financial Aid Office, our administrative assistant was also our interior designer. She really had studied art and design and knew what she was doing, and her passion for making our office look beautiful was really contagious. She taught me so much about how to decorate for any season, but her tutorials on Christmas trees were my favorite.

                I knew, when we moved into our offices at the church, that I would want to decorate my tiny space for Christmas, and I today I want to show you what I did!

                When Ryan and I went to Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland in Frankenmuth back in September, I found a little tabletop tree on clearance in a corner of the store. The tree was $12 and perfect. I grabbed it with the intent of putting it in my office, and I’m so happy that it really is the perfect size for my little side table.

                When I decorated our house this past weekend, I pulled aside some ribbon, sprigs, and a star, and when I went to Dollar General, I grabbed a pack of red and gold ornaments for $5.00. I felt like the outcome of that little cobbled together project was pretty good!

                Look at the ambient view. 😊

                I keep this little vase in my office for the summertime, in case I bring in fresh flowers, so I filled it with some poinsettias I found in a Christmas tub at home.

                I brought in the Holy Family piece Mom painted years ago.

                And I added this Christmas card I received in the mail last year. My RA from my freshman year of college made this print and sent it out as her card, hoping people would use it for art in years to come. I loved it and was honored to use it in my office.

                I had an extra wreath at home, so it made its way onto the door of my office. (I made this many years ago, and while it isn’t a masterpiece (obviously), it does hold some great memories.

                Check out this final piece. It’s amazing. Remember my “Merrcy Hristmas” sign I found at Hobby Lobby years ago? I still hang it up in our house every year and it makes me smile. Well…a friend of mine from my childhood messaged me on Instagram a couple of weeks ago asking for my address. She said she found something that made her think of me and wanted to send it my way. LOOK!!!!

                Now I have one for work too!!!

                My little space is festive and cheerful, and I love it. Everything has meaning, and I will thoroughly enjoy my Christmas season at work as well as at home!
