Farmhouse Christmas Decor Archives

This time of year is my favourite and I have wanted to decorate our Holiday Master Bedroom, but between all the activities and decorating I need to space stuff out. If I do it all on a weekend, I won’t do a good job and then end up pulling everything down and decorating again in a few weeks.

This year I really wanted to make this home feel so special. So I’ve spaced everything out over a month. I know that might be really slow for most of you. But I’m 26 weeks pregnant, with a toddler in tow and two little boys that don’t leave me a lot of energy. I know you catch my drift.

I started with the living room, then moved to our kitchen, (skipped the dining room as it NEEDS to be painted ) and started down the hall, and finally made it to our bedroom today.

This year I made an agreement with myself that I was going to try and do everything for free, or next to free. So far, I’ve spent under 20 dollars total. So I’m pretty proud of myself. My husband often brings me home a ton of boughs, so I’ve used those in a ton of my decorating this year. Free and it smells amazing! Win-Win!

I started decorating our bedroom and snapping photos and half way through I thought, that pew would look amazing in our room. It does, but it’s hard to photograph in such a small space, so I hope you can look around my crappy photography and see how cozy it actually is.

So without further rambling on, check out our 2017 Holiday Master Bedroom. I’m truly obsessed with how it turned out ( minus the yellow walls, but oy, pregnancy ). I’d love to hear what you think! Also I hope I can inspire some of you to realize that decorating doesn’t have to be expensive. I always get prospective bloggers or just random mamas messaging me on Instagram saying that they wish they had a house like mine, but they had such a small budget.. well, ME TOO. Especially right now, our budget is non-existent. So I’ve truly had to be creative and look high and low for some neat ( free ) vintage finds. It’s so much more worth it and your husband will thank me 😉

Also, for your reference, below are the sources to the decor in my room. I always get emails & messages, so I look to throw it straight up in the blog for easy access.

Pottery Barn Bedding (Here is a way cheaper option)

Buffalo Check Pillows

Wreath ( Not the same as that is 4 years old, but similar )

Olive Buckets

Hope you enjoyed our Holiday Master Bedroom & It inspires you to deck the halls and cozy up your room!

I’ve wanted to blog for a while and in fact, I have about three blog posts ready to be posted but they have no photos to accompany them. My Camera seems to have had it and another camera isn’t in the budget right now. So, I’ll have to get really creative in the next few weeks.

Today I wanted to inspire you all. I know it’s only November 20th, but I also know a lot of you have a bit of decor up already. So this blog is meant to inspire you. Decorating or Christmas doesn’t have to be expensive. In fact, I think the most beautiful decor is old bins/tins with a Noble Fir in them and a few twinkle lights. I always get super overwhelmed by all the Christmas decorations in box stores, it seems so gody and bright. I love things that are simple, cost effective ( or free ) and bring out the tree meaning of Christmas.

Here’s Wikipedia’s definition of Christmas –

“Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ observed most commonly on December 25″

Yet, especially in our Northern America culture we seem to forget this. It becomes about presents, and decorations. Don’t get me wrong, I love all those things too. But I think it’s SO important to go back to the basics. One of the ways I love to do this is by decorating really simply. I have no idea how the two correlate, but they do in my mind.

I thought, before I dive into all my Christmas Inspiration ( favourite homes ) of 2017, I would walk you through the last few years of our Christmas decor. I feel like my style has changed so much and that’s my favourite part of blogging, looking back through old posts.

My Porch from last year. We decorated it right after Nolan ( our sweet angel baby ) passed away. View Here

This was our ultra simple Christmas entrance way, here.

& Our Christmas Living Room. For some reason I never got a picture of our tree unlit, so I will not be posting our tree.

and, now let’s get into my Christmas Inspiration ( Favourite Homes ) of 2017!

Liz Marie Galvan’s Home

I’m unsure if she’s an actual designer? But she’s been my favourite designer since 2008. I’ve followed her for what seems like forever and I always admire how she makes anything look good. Literally. Her decor looks so good because she uses things she has laying around or that she junks. I often get a ton of inspiration from her style.

2. Ella Claire Inspired

I’m always going back to this blog for all my simple or free needs. She has a knack for making beauty out of nothing. She is constantly having free printables available on her blog and her home is just so simple yet gorgeous.

3. Cotton Stem

I’ve only been following her for a year, but that is only because this amazing mama of four little ladies just popped up. I feel like her Instagram went from 0 to over 150,000 in a year. Once you see her style, her down to earth nature and her honest way she explores everything, you will be hooked.

She’s real, and someone I inspire to be more like. For now, just drool over her living room.

4. Craft Berry Bush

I’ve been following Craft Berry Bush on Instagram for a few years now. I find her style a bit harder to obtain, only because it looks like she spends actual money on her home. Unlike most of the bloggers I follow. But I constantly pin her home. She has such great ideas for putting things together and I knew I had to include this amazing blogger in my list.

5. Liz Grows Wild

I love Liz’s style. I would say her style is most like mine. It’s very farmhouse chic, yet very simple. She doesn’t overcrowd her home, and everything she does is so obtainable. I’m obsessed with everything she does.

Alright everyone, I hope you enjoyed my Christmas Inspiration and Favourite Homes of 2017. I cannot wait to photograph my home for you all, but for now, iPhone photos will have to suffice.

Have a blessed week.
