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.

The post Glam Blue White & Gold Christmas Living Room appeared first on Summer Adams.

I’m delighted to join a group of friends today, hosted by our friend Krista from The Happy Housie, to share fall decor!  It’s my first tour of the season and I’ll be sharing my elegant fall mantel and living room in gray and gold with you today!

Elegant Fall Living Room In Gray & Gold

Last year, I did a blush pink glam fall mantel. This year, of course, I wanted to keep the glam but go with a different color scheme.  I went to HotSkwash in Tigard, Oregon (not too far from me) and met with my friend and founder, Daria and looked over her gorgeous fabrics to create a special custom pumpkin that would give me the inspiration for the color palette of this year’s living room.  

When we came across this gorgeous fine jeweled lace and she thought to put it over the gray, I knew it would be perfect and I wanted to do gray and gold.  I hadn’t done just gray and gold since we moved in our home a couple years ago.

Daria also made some special champagne-colored pumpkins and we put them with a mixture of the ivory and gray pumpkins with rhinestones as well.  She also created some smaller gray pumpkins with coordinating smaller flowers from the lace we used.  Aren’t they precious?!

I layered all the pumpkins on an extra piece of faux fur that I placed on my coffee table for added texture.  It also kept there from being too much gray on gray from pumpkin to table and brings a cozier vibe.

I kept our large gold tray on the table and added lots of gold/brass.  I added one of my favorite candles with a tall cloche and a small little pumpkin.

This pretty metal flower (I just painted) was vintage and I recently found it at a local antique store.  I found this new gold box a couple of weeks ago for our remotes and also bought new agate coasters that all coordinate beautifully and also add extra “glam”.

Elegant Fall Mantel In Gray & Gold

Daria made special boucle pumpkins with these gorgeous chiffon flowers this year and I’m absolutely in love with them.  

They look beautiful, adorning my mantel along with these other beautiful pumpkins and elegant mercury glass candlesticks.

The darling “blessed” sign was a fabulous find from HomeGoods last month.

After placing everything on my mantel, I grabbed these golden faux eucalyptus that I have in my entry (and that you’ll see on my fall table), and placed them on the ends to add another pop of gold and I really love it even more!

I definitely love the dimension it adds.  I wanted to do the same thing on my coffee table but worried about the gray against gray and the stems were too much with this group so the fur really was the best look. Sometimes you just keep playing with something until you get it where you want it!

Pillows can sometimes be the hardest thing for me to find.  Not the inserts (because I have faux down inserts here that are so comfy and very affordable) but finding beautiful covers that I really love and well-priced can be a hard combo.  I recently stumbled upon an Etsy store called DuruHome that’s based out of Turkey and ships internationally.

Their fabrics are gorgeous and they had covers I loved and ordered (this silver patterned cover 2nd pillow and this gray damask cover 4th pillow) and arrived within a week here to the U.S. and the quality was beautiful. The prices were also great, so I was thrilled about that.  You’ll have to check them out.  This is the second time I’ve ordered from a Turkish store through Etsy and it’s gone really well.

I layered them on my sofa with this beaded pillow and a white velvet textured pillow that I already had and added gray faux fur throws. So much coziness right?!  Our sofas are so comfortable right now!

I changed up my bar cart as well and switched it to the other side of the room, adding vases and glasses and some pumpkins for that perfect chic bar cart look.

On the opposite side of the room, I finally hung my cool floral wall hanging from the antique store that I just found and repainted (many of you probably saw the transformation on Instagram stories and that was fun).  It was a dull, dark gold and silver and I brightened it with a more vibrant gold and used white for the flowers with touches of silver glaze.

The post Elegant Fall Mantel & Living Room In Gray & Gold appeared first on Summer Adams.

Just a few more days and it’s Christmas!  Can you believe it?  I can’t.  It’s come too quickly this year.  We’ve been trying to enjoy every day leading up to Christmas and taking part in all our favorite traditions.  One of my favorite things about Christmas is all the twinkle and Christmas tree lights and candles.  Today a group of friends and I are sharing with you a little bit of our Christmas homes all lit up at night.  Welcome!

This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience. Click here to read my
full disclosure policy and here for my privacy & cookies policy.  All opinions are my own.

I collaborated with Pottery Barn and really love how my entry turned out.  The light reflects off of all my mercury glass trees and sparkly ornaments so beautifully.

And then at night….

Lynch Creek Farms was kind enough to send me one of their fresh wreaths again this year and they smell amazing and are so beautiful. They last me about 6 weeks as long as I spray them a couple times each week.

 I used one of the sparkle apps for the above photo to give it extra sparkle. Isn’t that fun?!

With lights in all the glass trees and softly twinkling in different patterns, it creates such a beautiful glow and it’s so fun to welcome guests to our home in the evening.

Into the Living Room…

You can find my living room tree and mantel in this post.

I used a piece of faux fur to “extend” my tree skirt and and more presents and twinkle lights around the bottom (those are battery-operated).

Upstairs is craaaazy with packing for our trip and wrapping gifts BUT I will take you into my office.

 I haven’t photographed my blush and gold office tree in the day time yet this year. But if you want to see it last year (click here), it looks very similar. The room is painted blush now but the tree looks almost the same. It’s fun to have in here while I’m working!

Ok, one last thing…

A couple of Christmases ago when we lived in Dallas, I set a traditional red dinner table and dimmed the lights and lit some candles. It was a sweet tribute to my dear grandmother and the pictures warm my heart every time I see it floating around Pinterest. You can see the post here if you’d like.

Wishing you all the most magical and memorable Christmas where “All is calm, all is bright.”

The post Christmas Nights Home Tour | 2018 appeared first on Summer Adams.

Welcome to our Loveliest Looks Of Christmas Tour, sponsored by Pottery Barn and hosted by Summer Adams & A Blissful Nest!  We’re so glad you’re here to join this talented group of bloggers as we share our winter fashion and Christmas decor with you.

Elegant Christmas Entry In Mixed Metals

Every year I do a flocked Christmas tree with silver and gold and champagne ornaments and decorations.  This year, that is my theme for my entry.  My living room and mantel and kitchen are all being revealed later this week and, although it’s still elegant, it’s more whimsical and has pops of soft color.

As soon as I saw all the gorgeous mercury and glass trees at Pottery Barn this year, I knew I had to add them to the few smaller trees I’d already collected to create an elegant “forest” on my entry table.

The Pottery Barn trees are absolutely stunning and unlike any other I’ve seen because they come in 3 different heights to really create that dramatic effect.

I hadn’t seen them this tall before and it’s exactly what I needed for this space.  They also have an opening in the bottom to add my battery-operated twinkle lights.

I couldn’t believe how amazing it felt against my skin.  It kept me so warm and cozy and was the most perfect thing to put on and sit in front of the fire with my while drinking my morning tea before church last week.  The hood on it was a brilliant part of the design.  When I step out of the robe and have wet hair, it’s so nice to put on my robe and head downstairs while staying warm.  It feels so luxurious it is without costing a fortune.  This would be the most perfect gift for any woman, don’t you think?!

Not far from our fireplace, we have our hot cocoa bar cart set up.  If tea isn’t your thing, we have hot cocoa and it’s always available so that our guests can grab a cup when they come in from the cold.

Brooklyn & Beckham (and their friends) love coming home from school and making themselves a hot cup of cocoa with marshmallows and warm up by the fire.  Read the post on my hot cocoa bar cart here.

I also chose the champagne blush faux fur ruched throw from Pottery Barn for Brooklyn’s bedroom.  I love switching out all of my lighter throws for fabulous faux fur throws in the fall and winter and my family just loves getting cozy with them and enjoying that soft feel against their skin.

This throw might be the softest faux fur throw that I have ever owned.  It is absolutely heavenly and would make the perfect gift!  (You can read more about Brooklyn’s bedroom in this post.)

If you saw my fall & winter bedroom post already, you know how much I love this other faux fur throw blanket from Pottery Barn Teen.  Isn’t it so pretty draped over my bed?  I also purchased that long faux fur lumbar pillow from Pottery Barn for my bed and it just makes my bed look so inviting and cozy after a long cold day.  I feel like every bed and sofa needs a faux throw in the winter.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll be revealing my living room mantel, then my other Christmas trees, including this year’s blush office tree (see last year’s office tree HERE), my Christmas kitchen, Christmas tables, touches of Christmas decor in our bedrooms, AND our new bonus room makeover with touches of Christmas as well.  I have more holiday traditions, recipes, pink gingerbread houses and the prettiest gift wrapping ideas coming too so stay tuned!

The post Loveliest Looks Of Christmas Tour appeared first on Summer Adams.

Hello, friends!  I’m so excited to have you here today!  We are gathered again, as a group of interior and lifestyle bloggers, to bring all of you some fabulous spring inspiration.  Thanks to our friend Krista from The Happy Housie for hosting our “Seasonal Simplicity Tours” this spring.  If you are visiting from her blog or from Sincerely Marie Designs, there’s no doubt you have already been pinning inspiration! I have a round-up of all the spring fun I’ve had lately and there’ still more to come.  If you’re new here, you’ll see that for my spring home tour I’ve used accents of blush and blue and it’s been so fun sharing spring decorating tips, spring fashion, spring recipes, and spring printables with you!

This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience.
Click here to read my full disclosure policy.  All opinions are my own.

I started off this spring by sharing with you my Rain Gear Round-Up.  Spring showers bring those beautiful flowers and we get more than most of you, being in the Pacific Northwest.  I don’t mind the rain and it’s so gorgeous here but I definitely find importance in staying dry while being fashionable as well.

My mantel before spring was bright and simple with mixed metals.  I added a hint of blush and blue to my mantel for spring and even shared another variation for Easter by adding a few things.

I found the cutest blue striped tablecloth with tassels and knew I wanted to use it for my Easter table with blush pink and a vintage milk glass place setting.

This was one of my favorite tables ever, for a few reasons.  Read HERE to find out why and to see the tassels on the tablecloth and the entire finished table.

Also in that same blog post, I share how I added pink and blue to my bright white kitchen for the spring and the new rug runner I found.

No matter what your spring color palette is, I used things I already had to style my kitchen using those colors. See more and read all about it HERE.

One of my favorite things about spring time is that we get outside more…even in the rain!  It warms up just a little bit and the sun comes out and we start playing out in the neighborhood again.  Being in a brand new subdivision and one of the first ones to build in our cul-de-sac, we now have a bunch of homes being finished and all these new neighbors are moving in.  We were soooo excited!  I made these darling printable gift tags for baked goods and shared them with all of you.  Brooklyn (my 12 year-old) made delicious Snickerdoodles and we brought these to all our new neighbors (they all seem to be moving in at once) and introduced ourselves and welcomed them to the neighborhood.  You can print and use these tags from this post.

After winter is over and we put away our hot cocoa bar, I transform the bar cart into a Spring Bar Cart with fun drinks on hand for all ages. I also share this beautiful and comfortable ruffled skirt for spring.

And if company is coming, I put out some baked goods as well.  I also like to change up my candles and freshen my home up with fruity and flowery scents and put away all the pine and cinnamon.

In my most recent Current Crushes post, I share home accents I love for the spring as well as fashion and gift ideas.  It’s a must-read!  I just love when my girlfriends tell me about a fun find or a good sale….don’t you?!

My daughter and I just LOVE to bake and we do it year-round.  In the spring, you will usually find cakes and baked goods with lemon or coconut or other fruity flavors.  Last weekend we made this Pink Lemonade Chiffon Naked Cake and it was HEAVENLY!!  The recipe is easy and sooooo delicious.  Find this recipe HERE.

I recently received new pillow covers for the spring from Willa Skye Home.  These blush linen pillow covers, paired with the spa blue antelope pillow covers just brought such an elegance to this bright living room for the season.

The quality is superb and her variety of fabrics is phenomenal.  I absolutely loved working with WSH to create this stylish spring look!  You can visit my Living Room post to get all of the sources on this space and also shopping links.

Do you see who else got a new bed for spring?

It’s the cutest lucite and brass dog bed I found at HomeGoods a couple of weeks ago and I’m so glad he finally warmed up to it because it looks perfect in the living room!

I told you all that I’ve been freshening up my foyer for spring.  I love to “shop my home” and move things around when I get sick of spaces.  I pull out all of my faux flowers and decided to use blush, obviously.  And 4 months later, I have to say that this gorgeous chandelier from my friends at Bellacor still takes my breath away every time I go downstairs.  Read all about it and the rest of the items in this space HERE and see a closeup of the chandelier.

I also stocked up on more faux pink peonies and cherry blossoms from Michael’s.  I posted this pic on Instagram (but a more zoomed out shot) and everyone thought they were real.  Now, I buy fresh flowers for the house every week but when it’s spring and I really want to bring out a lot of cherry blossoms and peonies and roses and more, it’s wise to invest in some fabulous faux floral stems to save money AND not have to constantly change the water and cut your flowers every day or two.

Back to my entry…
I made some really fun straw totes with Brooklyn a couple of months ago (tutorial coming next week) and put it on our foyer bench with some faux pink peonies.

Instead of a faux fur throw and pillows on our bench, as we did in the winter, I used a light scarf that I could easily take with me and even use as a wrap if it’s a chilly spring day.  I also used linen pillows on our bench after putting the winter pillows away.  And yes….I bought myself a new pair of sandals since it’s warming up and my toes are dying to see the sun.

While “shopping my home” I used brought in both of my large and small temple jars and filled them with faux cherry blossom stems.

I kept the lamp but also put out a home interiors book I love and my newest GORGEOUS jar from my friend Alyssa.  Her shop Amped Decor is so fabulous and I love so many of her pieces.  After breaking my last jar that was identical to this, she heard about it and sent me this one.  You MUST visit her online shop and see all of the fun things she sells as well as her lovely home.  Get ready to swoon!

(If the jar above is sold out, you can find a similar one here.)

I wanted some framed art on this middle mirrored tray.  I couldn’t find anything that I truly loved so I decided to print out and frame one of my favorite pictures of a door in Portugal (where I lived years ago as a missionary) draped in blossoming branches during spring.  It has the prettiest blue door and I just look at it and smile, reflecting on some of the best memories.

In a smaller frame, I added a print of blush and blue butterflies that I designed.  If you’re interested, let me know.  I might just add another blog post and offer it as a free printable next week.  Butterflies come and you just know it’s spring time….right?!

I also added one of my favorite Agape Candles and I think it’s the perfect spring entry table now.

On the other side of our entry, I removed the gray pillows from my faux fur settee bench and added this blush ruffle throw blanket from my online shoppe.

(Yes, that is our thermostat in the most awkward place on that wall.  There was nowhere else they could put it in the house.  We went over and over this and it killed me to put it there…eye sore!  I usually photoshop it out for photos…ha!)

It’s the perfect soft and elegant touch for spring.

I found this darling and affordable blush and blue geometric dress (here or here) and these shoes (similar here) and loved that they went with my spring interior color palette.  You can’t see the earrings very well but they are these ones and are sooooo cute!

I’m so glad you could stop by today and THANK YOU for being here!  Next, my dear friend Heather from Setting For Four is sharing her Spring Tour and you don’t want to miss it!  She’s also sharing her love for blush and blue and everything she does is just gorgeous!

This week I’ve joined up with a talented group of bloggers to share part of our home decorated for spring as part of the Seasonal Simplicity Series. There is so much stunning inspiration for you to enjoy, all week long!

The post Spring Home Tour With Accents Of Blush & Blue appeared first on Summer Adams.

I have several fun Valentine’s Day ideas still to share with you but I’m putting that aside today to reveal another space in our new home.  You can click on Home Resources and see any of the rooms that I’ve shared so far, in the last 3 months we’ve lived here.  For the next reveal, I’m taking you on a little tour of our tranquil glam master bathroom.

This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience.
Click here to read my full disclosure policy.

For those that follow me on Instagram (https://instagram.com/SummerAdamsDesigns) I’ve shared many views of this space during the construction process and I’ve shared the beautiful view outside these windows. The tall trees is the reason we nicknamed this our “Tall Trees Lane” home and why we chose this lot.
It’s so gorgeous here.

I chose a free-standing tub (Max Ella Sleek 105744 with a Delta 90º faucet) for this space and knew I wanted a chandelier to hang over it.  I partnered with my friends at Crystorama, as I already have one of their chandeliers over my dining table and love it, and chose one of their chandeliers for the tub.

The one I chose was this gorgeous Crystorama Traditional Crystal 4-Light Chandelier.  The crystal prisms are just divine and I love the way light bounces off of them and on to the rest of the bathroom.

I originally thought I’d go with a chandelier just slightly larger than this BUT with this view and having 2 windows looking out at the Wetlands and tall trees, I didn’t dare want to block any of it.  I only wanted to compliment the tub with this chandelier, like a single strand of pearls with a pretty dress.

I love walking into the bathroom each day and seeing the sunrise (which I can actually see from my bed as well) and sunset, fog in the mornings covering the Wetlands, our neighbors beautiful horses….
it’s heavenly!

I added a pair of lovely beaded square mirrors on the side wall.

I love all the natural light that comes into this bathroom.

Crystorama also sent me this gorgeous Brentwood 2-light Crystal Chrome Sconce for the middle of my vanity mirrors.  I love seeing the other chandelier in the reflection.

I didn’t have room for wall sconces on the sides of the mirrors also, which was fine because I have recessed lighting above and get plenty of light.  But that meant that I really wanted a statement piece, nothing simple but something with drama and elegance…something glamorous.

  This was the perfect light for that!  I’m so thrilled with it.  It’s made with Swarovski crystals and it is such a stunning fixture.  I was worried about the lighting being “too glam” for my hubby but I was wrong.  He walked in and his jaw dropped and he loved it.  The word he used was “exquisite”.

I couldn’t agree more!

When looking for hardware for these cabinets, I knew I wanted polished chrome pulls to match the plumbing and other bathroom hardware.  I went to Hardware Resources and came across these gorgeous, sleek Hayworth Chrome Cabinet Pulls and knew they were perfect.

I was so glad they wanted to collaborate and send them to me and I knew they’d be a gorgeous addition to this master bathroom.  They’re contemporary but elegant and I love the brilliant finish.

I also used them in the laundry room and kids bathroom, which I haven’t revealed yet but will soon.  I first shared a sneak peek of them in this post.

Nothing fancy about our shower.  It does the job.  And to the right, behind that door, is our master closet and I can’t wait to share that with you!

A towel bar hangs behind the bathroom door and I happened to still have a canvas art print in my “decor stash” that I purchased years ago and it fit perfectly here.

Still looking for art for the wash closet.  I love that there’s a small window in there so that it gets more light streaming in.

This gorgeous light gray tufted ottoman mostly stays in our master closet but I pull it out to rest my things on when I take a bath.

I usually set a tray there with my water and maybe my cell phone.  I definitely have a candle, always, and my bath salts and shower wrap.  When I say this master bathroom is tranquil, I mean it!  It has the elements I need to relax….a gorgeous view, neutral colors, lots of natural light, adorned with crystals, soft towels, and lovely-scented candles.

I wanted everything to feel clean and tranquil and not busy so I used glass and chrome soap dispensers with clear soap.  I found these gorgeous tall beaded mirrors with a distressed beveled edge which added to the that glam element.

What once was an urn for flowers or plants is now the perfect piece for my rolled hand towels.

Notice we chose the white tile for the floor and a shinier version for the counter tops, for now.  We will probably change that down the road when I know what I want.  I’m also looking for a backsplash in here as well as the guest bedroom, which I revealed HERE last week.

I’m so pleased with how it came together and how tranquil it truly feels.  I love getting ready in my master bathroom!  I’m so grateful to Crystorama for their exquisite lighting and encourage you to look for their pieces.  And thanks so much also to my friends at Hardware Resources for the gorgeous hardware! They have so many fabulous choices for your home.

Hello, friends!  I have a fun post for you today because I’m joining some fabulous blogger friends to share lots of awesome organizing tips for your home, sponsored by HomeGoods.  If you’re anything like me, HomeGoods is already like a 2nd home so I was excited to go grab a ton of great items I’d seen there to help me turn “the black hole” under the kitchen sink from a place where we just throw stuff into a beautifully-organized and functional space to be proud of.

I’m so mad that I forgot to get a “before pic” {face palm} but I can trust that you know exactly what I’m talking about when I say “messy”.  Most of us probably have this problem.  On the outside it looks beautiful and I found these lovely hand towels at HomeGoods.

But after grabbing a lot of different storage and organizational items, this is what it looks like now…

Ta-Daaaaaaa!

Seriously, our entire family really loves this space.
Ok, let me break it down and tell you what I used and what it’s used for.

First I should tell you, when I called this space “the black hole” before, it literally was because {since our sink faces the corner} there’s a hole in the back cut out in case we need to get to the plumbing against the wall.

I found these 2 darling little white cleaning caddies and knew they’d be perfect for all our sprays and cleaners.  I can even pick them up and take them around the house if needs be.

Underneath all the supplies you can see this pretty light blue and grey contact paper I found.  It was light and serene and was the perfect choice for a dark cabinet.

In the back, you can see the plastic grocery bag saver.  We needed that desperately!  Our other method didn’t work very well and it always led to the kids just tossing them under the sink.  Sheesh!  It drove me bonkers!

In the middle section, I found a white plastic tub that said “organization” on the end and wasn’t too high.  It was perfect for our garbage bags and some pet and carpet supplies, as well as my pink ruffle cleaning gloves, Swiffer duster handles, and dish scrubbers.

In the front, I grabbed 2 smaller OXO pop up canisters (I looooove these things!!) and they are so easy to just push and then they pop up so that you can get what’s inside.  No picking the entire canister up or twisting the top off is necessary.  I have borax in the left, which I use from time to time, and then in the right one I have placed those Lemon Shine pods (rinse agent).

The tall OXO canister has all of our dish detergent pods.  It’s been so nice to have these and be able to see how much is left and what needs to be put on my grocery list without picking anything up and shaking it or looking inside.  You can also label these, which I think I’ll make on my Silhouette machine since family will be visiting soon and will want to know what they contain.

Ok, for the fun part….

These stackable acrylic drawers come in twos.  I grabbed 2 units and put them on top of each other.  You could probably put a piece of double sided tape to keep them from moving or a dab of hot glue but I didn’t and they’re fine.  Guess where I found these?  In the makeup organizing area!  So this is what I have in the drawers:

1- Wet Ones packets that I can send with the kids in lunches or use at home for extra anti-bacterial help.

2- Sponges for the dishes in the back AND Magic Eraser pads in the front.

3- Disposable duster refills

4- Dry sweeping pads

I could label these but there’s really no reason.  You can see exactly what is inside each drawer.

One more look…..isn’t it great?!  It was so ridiculously easy!  Nothing is tipping over and spilling out, creating a huge mess.  I know what I have and what I don’t.  I know what amount I have of each product and if it needs to go on my grocery shopping list or not.  And, anyone visiting (i.e. babysitter, family, friends, house cleaner) can open the cabinet and know exactly what is there and find what they need with ease.

While I was at it, I found a couple of great storage items to organize Giorgio’s dog food and treats.  I like that they went with our kitchen so beautifully.  (Giorgio is our little 14 year-old Yorkshire Terrier.)

I’ve also finished my pantry so make sure to check back for that separate post.  You can see my entire kitchen HERE in my kitchen reveal.

Now…I have a handful of friends that you absolutely MUST visit because you’re going to find so much inspiration to go and tidy up all of your unkept and unorganized spaces in your home.  January is the perfect time of year, as we like to start off fresh, with organized homes that function with ease.

The post How To Beautifully Organize Under Your Kitchen Sink appeared first on Summer Adams.

Are you counting down the days like I am?  Christmas is coming!!!  I still have so much to do.  We just moved into our new home that we finished building less than 6 weeks ago.  I’ve shared my Christmas entry, my Christmas living room, and even my blush pink Christmas tree in my office.  But today I’m so excited, as a group of my friends and I get together for our “Home For Christmas” tour this season, to share with you my pink Christmas kitchen!

You may be coming from my friend Tamara’s blog at Citrine Living and I’m so glad you’re here!  Everything Tam does is fabulous she’s a dear friend.  Hello to all my loyal readers (I love you)!

When I designed this bright white kitchen, I knew it was necessary to help combat all the cloudy days we’d get here in the Pacific Northwest.  So I chose everything to be white and it is working out beautifully!  It’s the brightest space in our home and I love love love being in my kitchen. It’s a happy place.  So when it came time to decorating for Christmas, I knew I needed to add my favorite color pink to it and then it would be the happiest kitchen in the world, ha!  At least, to me it’s the happiest kitchen.

***funny side note: i was born on june 23rd which is national pink day. i love pink.*** 

When you read “Pink Christmas Kitchen” you may have worried that you were about to encounter a kitchen where it looked as if a bottle of Pepto Bismol threw up all over it.  Ha!  Nope, not here!

I just wanted hints of my favorite color, in a whimsical and soft way.  I’ve styled plenty of elegant and sophisticated spaces but I wanted something really fun and playful, as my kids are young, and yet still pretty in the kitchen.

We made gingerbread houses the other night.  They weren’t our usual gingerbread houses.  Those are normally multi-colored and fall apart while the kids are making them and we all get frustrated and end up eating the candy instead.  Please tell me you get it and you’re laughing with me!

Instead I bought 1 large pre-assembled  gingerbread house at Walmart.  It was a dream!  No collapsing? Yes please!  And then I made some light pink royal icing with just powdered sugar, water, and a teaspoon of corn syrup.

I found a cute glittered Nutcracker a few years ago and knew he’d be so cute right here next to my fresh pink roses and pink gingerbread house.

Last week I had my pink macarons on the counter but the gingerbread house was definitely more Christmas-y.

Along with the large gingerbread house, I also bought a small village.  I let the kids decorate a couple themselves and I decorated these 2 little ones to coordinate with my large one.  I’m no artist and my hand isn’t that steady but nevertheless, it was a lot of fun.  I’ve been so busy that it felt good to just sit and create something with my kids and have Christmas music in the background.

But this time we did something different.  These little ones weren’t pre-assembled so…..

…we used hot glue!!!

Don’t judge!  It’s life-changing!!!  Just for the structure and then we iced it like normal and used icing for the candy.  It was way more fun and the kids actually loved it!  Try it and tell me what you think!

I decided to grab my sparkly tree candles, my faux fur table runner, my other vase of pink roses, and created a nice little pink winter wonderland table.

The kids love it too.  Its wintery and whimsical but still beautiful.  I have a blush pink Christmas tablescape I want to share with you so make sure to come back for that, as I’ll share it in another post.
Side note: Have I mentioned how excited I am to plant roses and hydrangeas and peonies out that window this spring?  I heard you can plant pretty much anything here in the PNW and it’ll grow.  Can’t wait!

I found a simple white flocked wreath that went perfectly on my hood and then I added a light blush pink ribbon bow. I really wanted to keep it soft and simple.

On the other side of the kitchen I have apothecary jars with sugar-free gumballs and other candy (loaded with sugar).  For some reason, when I have it out I don’t want it.  When it’s hidden, I want to find it and eat a piece.  Is that backwards or what?!

And because once a year those peppermint marshmallows are sold at the supermarket, we buy those too and put them out.  We love them in hot cocoa!

There is no shortage of treats in my pink Christmas kitchen.  Christmas time is for baking, and I mean a lot of baking in this house!

We bake for neighbors and friends, teachers and co-workers and also for ourselves.  I love being in my kitchen.  I might have baked for 6 1/2 hours the other day (non-intentional) while watching Hallmark movies and eating a few as I went.  My feet were sore and my tummy hurt by dinner but it was oh so worth it!  Most of this occurred while Josh was at work and Brooklyn and Beckham were at school.  It was so fun!!  I need to do that more often, sans the eating 20 cookies part.  Ouch!

Fast-forward a few days later and we’re having a family Christmas movie night.  There is no shortage of sugar or treats in this household.  I’ve joked that I could be happily married to Buddy the Elf because I really do love sweets (just not maple syrup on spaghetti…ew).  We had “Pink Christmas Popcorn”.  I’ve made it for years but I just gave it a name.

I melt some white chocolate (and add pink dust for color) or melt pink candy melts, pour it over air-popped popcorn, and then mix it around while tossing in some of the pink peppermint marshmallows.  The kids go crazy over it.

And it’s so pretty too, don’t you think?

So I take it back. There might be Pepto Bismol here but it’s in the cupboard for
when you’re done eating all these sweets haha!

One more fun thing you’ll find in my Pink Christmas Kitchen….

While making pink snowflake cookies the other day, I also made more of these pretty star cookie mug huggers with my special cookie cutter.  Isn’t that fun?  I’ve done them in pink and white and they are so cute to put on the side of your mug or tea cup when enjoying a cup of hot cocoa or herbal tea, as we often do.  I took one up to my pink office the other day with a few cookies and finished a blog post on my blush pink Christmas tree and I swear it helped me work better (wink wink).

I love the magic of Christmas time!  I love making memories and slowing down for a moment to enjoy the season.  I’m so glad you were able to visit my pink Christmas kitchen today and please come back soon because I’ll be sharing all my favorite things in my kitchen that I can’t live without AND what my readers said they couldn’t live without too.

The post My Pink Christmas Kitchen appeared first on Summer Adams.

Welcome!  Today I’m joining a fantastic group of talented interior & lifestyle bloggers for the “12 Days of Holiday Homes Tour”.  A huge thanks to my friends Christy & Amy of 11 Magnolia Lane for hosting and bringing us all together.  Blogger tours are such a neat way to, not only gain a TON of inspiration, but to find new blogs and designers to follow and connect with.  If you’re new here, make sure to find my social media channels on my sidebar and follow along with me!  One thing you’ll find is that I not only love a bright white home, but I absolutely love pink!  So today, Day #5, I’m sharing with you my blush pink flocked Christmas tree that’s in my new home office.

Oh, and you can hover over the top left corner of any picture and a “Pin It” button will appear so that you can pin it to Pinterest!

Our friends at Lynch Creek Farms are sponsoring our 12 Days of Holiday Homes Tour and they sent us each a wreath or other piece of our choice.  I chose this gorgeous Winter Radiance 26″ Wreath.

They have the PRETTIEST fresh wreaths, garlands, centerpieces, and trees.  They will ship it to your front door!  Everyone has been posting about them so I was so excited to get to order from them finally.

Last week I revealed my Winter Wonderland Tree, which is beautiful but much larger than this and it’s all white.  For my blush pink and gold office, I obviously wanted to put up a tree in the same colors, but I didn’t want as large of a tree.  So I grabbed one of our older, lightly flocked trees, from the garage (it’s this one) and most of the blush pink and champagne and gold ornaments from last year’s tree (from our previous home in back in Texas) to decorate this one.  But I wanted it to be softer and have less gold.

One thing I didn’t have 2 of were fur tree skirts.  I ran to a few local stores and they were out.  So, I grabbed my faux fur rug that normally lays flat on my office floor and I scrunched it up all around the bottom of the tree to create a tree skirt.  Why didn’t I think of that in the first place?  Easy peasy!

I bought these lovely blush metallic roses at Michaels.  The wings were from Hobby Lobby and the glass stiletto ornaments are from my darling friend Nicky Sinclair and her online boutique called Composition Lane. The gold spindle ornament was found at World Market last year.

All the blush ball ornaments were from Michaels and Hobby Lobby, as well as the sparkly bow ribbon on my tree.  All my sparkly blush and champagne-colored floral stems were also from Michaels.  I placed them in the tree so that they were gently hanging down, lying softly on a branch.

I cut strips of this extra wide mesh tinsel ribbon in approximately 18″ strips and tucked them down the center and sides of the tree, diagonally, to make it look as if it’s weaving in and out.  It’s pretty AND it saves a lot of money.

You don’t have to literally wrap your tree in ribbon.  It’s more difficult and more expensive and, personally, I like the way this looks best. Just my personal opinion though!  It’s wired too so it keeps its shape nicely and stays put.

I found this sparkly champagne round ornament at Crate & Barrel a few years ago.  If you can’t find the exact ornaments I used, I will include similar or suggested ornaments and items from this post at the end.

I also found these champagne-colored roses at Michaels.  I love the touch of romance that these roses add this tree, don’t you?!  You don’t have to use poinsettias just because it’s Christmas.  The round tinsel/jeweled ornaments were from Decorator’s Warehouse in Arlington, Texas and I found them last year.

I love making big bows from sparkly ribbon and pipe cleaner and then attaching them to the tree.

Of course, I also love to coordinate all of my presents with the tree.  I found a lot of beautiful wrapping paper HERE but all my cute white/gold and blush/gold gift boxes are linked below.  Scroll down to end of the post for the direct shopping links.

I had to have the “tis the season to sparkle” gift box when I saw it at Home Goods!  I also found that cute pink box with gold snowflakes there as well.  I’ve had good luck finding gift boxes there.

I pulled my cute bow office chair and this blush tufted bench over to the tree as I set all the presents down.  They just completed the look.  I wish I could share my entire office but we just finished building this home and moved in last month.  My office is a mess still on the opposite end of this room.  So it’ll be a couple of more weeks until I do an office reveal, as I’m waiting on a piece of furniture to help me get organized.  Make sure to check back for that!

That same sparkly ribbon I mentioned above was also used for the largest bow on the top of the tree.  I always like putting a large bow right below my star to add a touch of elegance and to tie it all together.  This star tree topper is one of my favorites. It looks like mercury glass and light bounces off of it so beautifully.

Take another look at that mesh tinsel ribbon.  As I mentioned, you tuck it in the branches diagonally, going down the front and sides of the tree in opposite directions.  It’s simple and I love the way it looks!

Tip:  You don’t just have to use holiday bags and wrapping paper and gift boxes around your tree!  As I find pretty boxes and bags and paper throughout the year, I stash it and know that I can use it at Christmas time and maybe just dress my packages up with sparkly ribbon.

The sun was setting on this side of the house as I was wrapping up this photo shoot but I just loved the way the room was “glowing” with those warm tones. I had to snap a pic and share it with you!

I love being in my office!  I love how “me” it is.  Your office should reflect your style and personality and I wanted my blush pink flocked Christmas tree to do the very same thing and incorporate all the pretty things I love.

Thanks so much for joining me here today and I hope that you’ll be back!  Here are the shopping links below, for your convenience.

Please make sure to join the other 2 friends of mine below for Day #5 AND make sure to continue on tomorrow with our next group. Of course, you can always catch up on the days you missed because there is so much inspiration.  Make sure to pin all the things you love to Pinterest for later.

A special thank you to Lynch Creek Farms for sponsoring our tour and providing all the beautiful greenery showcased throughout the homes.

Here is the entire tour schedule if you missed any homes:

The post My Blush Pink Flocked Christmas Tree appeared first on Summer Adams.

Hello friends!  I’m so excited to welcome you all to another Holiday Home Tour in our new home!  I brought together a handful of extremely talented friends with fabulous style to share our Christmas decor with you and welcome you into our homes.  Today I’m sharing my “Winter Wonderland Flocked Christmas Tree and Mantel”.

If you’re new to my blog and coming from my friend Alicia’s blog The Lush List, I’m so thrilled to have you and hope you’ll come back again and again.  A huge hug to all my regular readers also here today!

Winter Wonderland Flocked Christmas Tree & Mantel

If you are a regular reader, you know how much I love a bright white home.  This home, we finished building and moving into last month, was no exception.  Relocating from Texas to the Pacific Northwest has been exciting but I’ve also prepared myself for the cloudy and rainy days by designing a bright white kitchen and this bright white living room, which I recently revealed. So, for this year’s Christmas theme in this area of the home, I really wanted it to feel like a Winter Wonderland.

When I think of a Winter Wonderland, I think of fresh mounds of snow and sparkling snowflakes falling like glitter. I imagine myself wearing a white faux fur coat and ear muffs and riding in a one-horse opened sleigh with a soft throw and hot cocoa.  Ok, I know…I’m getting carried away ha!

To make my own Winter Wonderland here at home, I wanted it to feel bright and magical, with a touch of elegance.

For the tree, I received this 9-foot flocked pre-lit tree from King of Christmas last year and it’s gorgeous!  It’s the BEST tree we’ve ever had!  The quality is absolutely superb and it is so full and dense.  (Stay tuned for next week as I’ll reveal the new 12-foot flocked tree they sent me for this new home.)

I used mostly white and silver but a few touches of gold so that this felt more like a Winter Wonderland.

I used these frosted magnolia stems that I used in last year’s tree. Aren’t they so pretty?!

Frosted winterberry stems were used as well.

I’m a sucker for lots of sparkly ornaments.  These looked like fresh snowballs!

I added shimmering pinecones and glittered deer ornaments and anything winter-y that sparkled.

My secret for the perfect Winter Wonderland Flocked Christmas Tree…

For the fluffy white “fresh fallen snow” that is softly tucked in the branches of the tree I use  THESE.  Hot glue sets of 2 and 3 together and then place them on the tree as if they’ve fallen like so.

I only have a few presents wrapped so far but when I finish ordering them all from Amazon, I’ll wrap them then…ha!

Seriously though…..most of our Christmas comes from Amazon Prime.  It beats the lines and the traffic!  Although, my Holiday Gift Guide contains the most fabulous items and they’re all online too.

The mantel….

I have a frosted garland that I use every year.  I added velvet, sparkly white poinsettia stems, ornaments, sparkly berry stems, and fluffy fur stems (from Michaels) to give it that snowy Winter Wonderland feel.

We’ve had these stockings for years but I added fur trim to the top of them last year.

Did you see these cute furry, sparkly white trees at Michaels this year?  I love them!

My mom gave me this gorgeous gold angel some years ago.  She makes an appearance on our mantel every year.  (The angel, not my mom..hahaha!).

Sparkly deer, mercury glass candlesticks with glittery candles, and shiny winter accents were used around my mantel and built-ins.

That darling nativity scene was the best $5 I’ve ever spent at a garage sale.  I just adore it!

The coffee table…

I love throwing a faux fur on my table in the winter and a large tray on top.

This sweet angel I found at a specialty store last year is back on my coffee table tray, embellished with a beautiful winter stem.

This frosted floral arrangement is the perfect snowy touch of elegance that this table needed.  I replaced my everyday candle to this gorgeous shimmery balsam candle and switched my other coffee table books to this one that I adore.

Winter Pillows…

Well look who wanted in on the photo shoot!  Hello Giorgio!

This pup is NOT allowed on my white furniture but I made an exception since he was crying for my husband and it was driving me nuts, ha!  Those two are like two peas in a pod.  So funny.

I had these beautiful Christmas pillows here but then the mailman came and brought me something fun!

Just as I started to shoot this room, these gorgeous new antelope pillow covers arrived from my friends at Laurel & Blush and the timing was perfect.

This touch of antelope looks perfect in my Winter Wonderland living room next to that velvet beaded “peace” pillow.  Isn’t that fabric just gorgeous?!  I love having that print, mixed with velvet and sparkly beaded pillows for that perfect Winter Wonderland look.

I’m loving all the pretty light I’m getting from my large windows.  It fills this room with a beautiful glow.

Thus, giving me my very own Winter Wonderland here in my bright white living room.  Don’t you just love the magic that you can create with seasonal decor this time of year?!
