Christmas decorations! Before going any further, let me say that unless your name is Kamin, it is rather impossible to photograph Christmas lights and have them turn out pretty!!
These photos are a from the craft room. Although the mantle looks REALLY cheesy here, in person it is actually quite cute. I have a large mirror over the fireplace with three evergreen trees in various sizes. I added large vintage-looking colored lights and red glittery snowflakes to the garland and hung our extra stockings from the mantle. Although I don’t usually use colored lights anywhere in my decor, I did this for Ella! She calls the craft room the “playroom” and we spend lots of time in there. Since the decor is decidedly more juvenile than the rest of the house, I decided to decorate for Christmas a little differently, too. I also added small garlands above the windows and hung red ornaments from them, then tied the curtains back with red and white polka dot ribbons. I still need to make a few red throw pillows for the chair in this room, but otherwise this is probably the extent of decorating here.
Now for the bathroom! There isn’t much to do in a bathroom and luckily ours is black and white, which makes for easy decorating. I swap the apple green towels for red ones and add garland above the vanity mirror and our open shelving unit. Add a few red candles and some green plants and presto-chango, a holiday potty room!
I didn’t realize until after I uploaded this photo that there is a styrofoam cup full of paint brushes on the counter. Sorry! I promise it won’t be there Christmas morning.
