On The Hunt: Acorn Decor

by Laura Fenton, Posted Dec 4th 2009 11:16AM

It's all about acorns.

Thanksgiving has passed, Christmas is just around the corner and winter is in full swing. We've noticed an unusual choice of decor for this Christmas season: Acorn accents.

This season the humble nuts have popped up in many forms from elegant, from silver salt shakers at Anthropologie to a three-dimensional, acorn-shaped tureen at Williams-Sonoma. These nutty pieces will blend well with your Christmas décor.

D.I.Y. Idea: Go outside and gather enough acorns to fill a bowl as a pretty, seasonal touch.
