Glam Blue White & Gold Christmas Living Room

Summer — Wed, 30 Nov 2022 13:00:42 +0000

It’s my favorite time of year!!! *squeal* I feel a little bit like Buddy the Elf once all my Christmas decor is up and I find myself smiling so much more. The whole world changes. Not only is it the time to celebrate the birth of Jesus and a time where we all tend to give a little more and open our hearts, it’s also a fun time to get together with fellow blogger friends and share our Christmas tours with you. The last couple of years have been slower for me in the blogging world and I’ve stepped back a LOT, as I’ve focused on my healing journey, our big move across the country, and being present with my teenagers. However, I won’t let an opportunity to do these wonderful Christmas tours pass me by because it’s so inspiring and so very fun. Grab some tea and join me as we tour living rooms today but make sure to join us all week. I’m sharing my glam blue, white and gold Christmas living room. Oh! And a huge welcome if you’ve never been here before and are coming from Sarah’s blog at Thrifty Decor Chick. How fabulous was her tour?!

Meet Gracie. She’s our furry photo-bomber. If she hears me snapping pics, she thinks she needs to get all up in my face and look at the camera to get a treat…ha! She’s a riot.

So, I’ve done a spa blue Christmas tree before but never an actual blue and white and gold Christmas tree. My plans were to do a green tree this year and a totally different mantel but I just bought this rug over the summer and I just couldn’t put it away for the holidays since I loved it so much. So I went with having a Blue Christmas. {cue Elvis song…it’ll be stuck in your head now for the day…you’re welcome}

We have 4-5 trees up each year. I know… it’s a lot. All our real presents are upstairs under our “Santa” tree (traditional red, green and white kids’ tree) so I love all these lovely wrapped gift boxes downstairs so that it doesn’t look empty. It’s a great way to decorate but to store? It takes extra tubs. I stack them inside each other and save all the ribbon in them in case I use the same ribbon again.

>>BTW, I’ll be linking all the products I’ve used in this post at the end.<<

My favorite thing about this room this year might be the built-ins they just put in this week.

This was just a blank wall before and I needed storage space. I really miss our built-ins from the last house and they are fun to style for any holiday or time of year.

I usually put my ginger jars away at Christmas and make room for mercury glass trees and other decor but I thought it would be so cute to keep them out this year and put bows on some.

Here’s another way to decorate with your ginger jars. Place them next to the tree and create a vignette with something like a tall lantern.

I had to use my rhinestone-trimmed velvet white ribbon (found a few years ago by D. Stevens) instead of blue ribbon because it’s just so pretty. It’s my third year using it and I’ve never seen a prettier ribbon so I’ll work it in any way I can.

A great tip for decorating any tree is to not use all the same sized ornaments. Have large ones and small ones, all different sizes.

I fell in-love with these gorgeous blue magnolia stems and had to use them. I also found…

…these dusty blue Christmas floral stems.

Tip: Using different blue-colored florals and ornaments adds more dimension and texture to a tree instead of everything just being one shade.

I really love the blue fawn-printed pillows that I’ve had for several years but wanted to create more of a winter look.

So I paired them with these blue velvet color block pillows. I love them together.

Styling a Christmas coffee table is so fun!

I’ve been bombarded with emails and messages about this precious nativity set every year and is my favorite piece on my coffee table. When we lived in Waco, TX years ago, I found it at a garage sale for $8. Put anything under a glass cloche and it’ll be cute. I have it sitting on a round marble tray and added a simple garland. How do you display your nativities?

Y’all I’m DYING! There were several shots of this angle but the cute photo-bomber struck again and I’m using this photo. I did the same thing as last year with my ribbon, making it look like it just weaves in and out of the garland.

Coastal Glam Guest Bedroom Reveal

Summer — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 02:28:05 +0000

Finally! We’ve been in this home for 9 months and decided what we wanted to do in the guest bedroom and today we’re sharing the result with you. I’m so glad you could join me today for our coastal glam guest bedroom reveal!

I had originally decided to do some kind of wallpaper mural on this back wall, behind the headboard, but when it arrived it just didn’t feel right. For months we tried looking at it, hoping it would become what I had envisioned but it just wasn’t happening. Fun idea, but my gut told me, “Not for this room”. And that’s okay! Listen to that and go with it!

I came across this gorgeous Ocean Blue Faux Grasscloth Wallpaper on D. Marie Interiors and immediately fell in love. This was the wallpaper! It’s “sky” color was such a pretty medium blue, with lighter and darker tones throughout the design as well. I knew it was going to allow me endless possibilities and fun combinations in this space. In just a few hours, my friend and I had it up. It was our first time but it went well! Check out her site for other beautiful wallpapers!

These pretty white nightstands were such a good price and the perfect size for this small little guest bedroom. I found these to-die-for gold leaf turned table lamps on Perigold’s website and, since I’m a Perigold Tastemaker, they sent them to me for this space. They have since sold out (quickly) but they have so many other gorgeous options HERE!

This gorgeous sunburst mirror also came from Perigold, as well as these lovely Caitlin Wilson blue floral pillow covers. As soon as I saw these pillows, I knew they’d be perfect because I wanted a couple of soft feminine touches to this room. All other pillows and the rest of the bedding were from HomeGoods but I’ll have links for them at the end of the post in the “Shop The Post” section .

This headboard is the perfect shape for this space and can be found HERE or HERE.

I used this chandelier and another just like it back in our Dallas kitchen and nook and decided that, even though it was a cooler gold, I liked it in the guest bedroom.

Mother of Pearl tray, faux flowers, and throw blanket all from HomeGoods.

The last thing I wanted for this room was just a small slipper chair to rest any guest’s bags or sit on to take off their shoes…or to sit and read on. I wanted it to be comfortable but smaller and stylish. I envisioned something blue and white striped that went with the wallpaper and I found it! The price is fantastic and you can shop it HERE or HERE.

This room is going to be fun to change up and add different accent colors to, especially this little chair. It’s so cute when I bring in some pops of blush pink! So fun, right?!

The wall to the right of the windows has gorgeous artwork coming that has been backordered so check back soon because I’ll be updating this post when it arrives and sharing photos. They are gorgeous coastal photos that will be soothing for guests and perfect for this “coastal glam” guest bedroom.

This is the same curtain rod and rings that I used in my office and living room and loved them enough to use them again here. These curtains are the perfect ivory, not too white or too creamy, good quality and fabric, pinch-pleated, and the price is phenomenal. I’m going to hem them but for now, a little puddling looks nice.

For wall and trim PAINT COLORS, please see this post.
