Holiday ‘House Tour’: A Gold and White Christmas

Did you catch my post about our gold and white Christmas tree the other day? I’ve also added some other gold and white Christmas decorating touches around the house. This year’s Christmas decorating is a little more glam than usual!

Gold and White Christmas Decor: The Foyer

I hesitate to call this a Holiday House Tour like some of those you’ll see on other decorating blogs this time of year. Have you seen some of those? Wowsa, soooo beautiful, and so thorough! (If you follow me on Facebook, I’ve been sharing some of my faves over there.)

The thing is, photographing a holiday house tour requires a tidy home and well, mine, just isn’t! (Yet?). (You see my 2012 holiday house tour here and my 2011 holiday house tour here). Keepin’ it real: there’s still some random Christmas decorating bins and bags hanging out in the corners, along with the regular daily stuff that 3 kids leave behind. So to spare you from all that, I’ve just photographed some of the little pops of Christmas you’ll find around our home.

In the foyer, you’ll find our new white deer head hanging in a big green wreath (more on styling this guy in another post!), with some gold polka dot ribbon. The foyer table has a little white tree decked out in gold and light blue beaded garlands. READ MORE

Our Gold and White Christmas Tree {Christmas Tree Decorating Ideas}

The idea of a gold and white Christmas tree has been on my mind for awhile now. I’ve been crushing on gold and white decor this year (see Sold on Gold), and there’s no better time to indulge in gold than at Christmas!

Call me crazy, but just about every year, I edit my tree colors. You can see how I manage to change my Christmas tree color scheme affordably over here. In that blog post, I explained that the thing I love best about Christmas decorating is the chance to be creative. Our Christmas tree never looks exactly the same because I enjoy the process of mixing things up. READ MORE HERE

Easy Fall Decorating {How Fall Looks Around Here!}

“FALL!” There…I said it. I usually walk on egg-shells this time of year as any mention of “FALL!” can drive Summer fans over the edge. But if you’ve followed my decorating blog for more than a minute, you probably know that I’m cray-cray-crazy for Fall, and I’ve actually shown great self-discipline by staying quiet this long! I hate to wish Summer away too, but you know what? I might as well just admit that I’m sooo not a Summer kind of girl. Fall is definitely my pace. I saw the first leaves turn color this weekend, so I’m now itching to break out the pumpkins. I decided to flip back through some of my Fall decorating pictures for inspiration.

Here’s how Fall has looked around here over the past few years…READ MORE!

Tired of wreaths? Hang a basket. {Easy summer DIY door decor idea}

Hope you are all enjoying summer! As you may know, I love changing my wreaths / door decor each season and for special holidays. (See A Year of DIY Wreaths / DIY Door Decor {How to make a wreath for any season}.) But I’ve been falling down on the job lately. Our front porch has been looking a little tired. (Kinda like me, ha.) Seriously, with three kids off for the summer, I can barely find a pair of matching flip flops, let alone carve out crafting time. But yesterday, I did manage to make something new for my front door.

Winter Decorating Ideas: Let it Grow!

About this time every winter, I start to crave greenery. Our winter weather is long and cold, and except for evergreen trees, not much else stays green through the season. While snow can be pretty and fun, for me, it gets old quickly. My favorite time of the year is when the buds finally appear on the trees again!

Without greenery outside, I usually resort to getting my greenery fix by adding a few artificial plants and wreaths here and there. I am ashamed to say that, in this home, which we’ve been living in for over 5 years, I don’t think I’ve had even one living plant. {Well, except for Miss G’s lima bean sprout when she was in Kindergarten. Does that count? OK, maybe not. 😉 }

I’m not a plant hater or anything ;-). I actually had lots of house plants in our last home, and really enjoyed them. But that was pre-kids. After I had children, I had to choose between feeding and watering them or the plants. Of course, the kids won!

But after Christmas this year, I decided it was time to bring back some plants! READ MORE
