My bedroom is one of my very favorite rooms in our little house.It is calming retreatthat functions as a a luxurious sanctuaryand it's dressed for the holidays!I saw the very delightful Faux Fuchsia's tree going up weeks ago on instagram
I knew then I just had to get my bedroom tree upand my little room dressed for the season of celebrations!
My room is always dressed in layers and layers of texturesand pillows.As a matter of factmy bed has 18 pillows in totalalthough they are hard to see here...they enable my bed to function much like a chaise you can sink right intobut they remain hidden behind my large knit pillowsso as not to be visually distracting.I love the luxury of comfort and soothing textureswith a calm neutral pallet.
In dressing my roomI have simply sprinkled a few sparkly lovelies around.
Just enough to add a little holiday delight.
Candles are also a mainstay in my bedroomall year long.
It is my bedroom Christmas treethat makes me so happyall season longit greets me in the morningand just as happily at the end of the day.I know there is even more debate this year about decorating too earlybut I couldn't be happier that my bedroom tree has been up for weeks.
I got it up earlywithout any holiday stresswith plenty of time to marvel in the process and lovingly place ...
all of my cherished memories onto my pre lit treewith carols and candle light in the back ground
it was a soulful endeavor
with none of the hurry to get putting up my treemerely checked off my to do list.
Now when I look at my treeI not only see it's overall beautyandthe cherished memories of the individual ornaments
I remember the beauty in the process
I am reminded of the importance for meto slow downand cherish the journey.To scale back and simplify
so that I can have time to savor and enjoy.
So I have revised my holiday to do listand I have picked only three projects that I would like to completeafter the remainder of my decorating is calmly finished this weekendI have put them in order ...
1. I want to finish my holiday brooche necklace
2. Make candles. I can't tell you how many years this has been on my list.and how many years we have gathered supplies only never to get to it.I do know it has been so long ago I was still homeschooling my children :))This year I am setting aside a day to finally do thisbecauseI know it will make my heart happy.
3. Make bread dough ornaments and tags. My pinterest Christmas board has been collectingthis idea for quite some time.I would enjoy getting to this one.
That is the extent of my crafting list this year.I have my decorating list tightened up.I have list of a few things to add to my garden to make it sing a little for the holidays.
Gifting is on schedule
So as I delight in my little sanctuary dressed for the holidays
I am reminded to savor and enjoythis holiday season.
as always dear friends
I wish you love and joyas you style your life
and
Savor and enjoy your Holiday Season
