Wow, I realize it’s been a while since my last blog post! Where has the last month gone?
I thought it was time to check in with a few pictures from my own home of some easy holiday updates. This year I decided to go with a more neutral color scheme … instead of the typical reds and greens. It stills feels festive, just a little more light and fresh.
I’ve found that some of my favorite holiday decorations are places where I’ve taken something I already have and just added a little greenery or sparkle.
A simple wreath hung on the vintage bread board in my kitchen. The bow is made from ribbon I found at Hobby Lobby.
A little fresh mistletoe adorns my chalkboard … along with a tribute to our favorite reindeer.
A simple boxwood garland wrapped in these tiny lights from Restoration Hardware that come on at night adorns my mantel along with my favorite vintage angel sculpture.
Yes, that’s a peek of my new Moroccan rug … (read more about them in my last post here)
I ended up getting the one from Furbish Studio and it is so soft and plush! You might also notice the new color on the walls … Benjamin Moore Gray Owl. I am loving the lighter and brighter feel.
Anyway, back to holiday décor … a few of my favorite new things this year came from Target.
I love this little snow globe that is also a music box.
And this sparkly pillow adds a little touch of holiday to the sofa.
How cute is this little tray? Yep, Target!
On to the dining room … I know people always struggle with centerpieces that will last through the season. I usually do fresh flowers when we have a seated meal in there, but I also like to have something easy but festive for everyday.
Instead of just filling a bowl with ornaments (I have done that too), I grabbed this little pedestal made of twigs I snagged on One Kings Lane and piled it high with sparkly blue ornaments. I like the juxtaposition of rustic and glam.
A few simple additons to my buffet …
And my bar cart is ready for a party!
I know everyone has their own little tricks and traditions for making their homes extra special during this time of year. What do you do to make your house glow?
Wow! Honestly, I'm so jealous of your crib. I love it!
