Dreaming of Our New Place!

Good afternoon!!

My hubby and I are spending this lovely, rainy day, here in Oregon, packing our house up!! I am so excited about moving to our new place, in Portland, and settling in!! I just want it to happen already!!

So, for this afternoon’s post, I thought I would share some Pinterest inspiration photos that are seriously rockin’ my world, right now!!

This is really similar to the layout of our new living room:

Another potential living room furniture layout idea:

Here is a fresh, clean, peaceful feeling I want for the master bedroom:

Or how about this one?

Although, for that look, I know I would have to scale it waaaaay down, because I think that our new room is going to fit a bed, and maybe two very small bed tables!

I am seeing a theme here…I, apparently, like white and soft grey, which is kind of surprising because, living in Oregon, it has a tendency to be grey here a lot, so I have always avoided decorating with that color. But, not in this new house! I am excited about the new prospects!!

Well, that is it for my break!! I had better get back to packing!! Wish me luck!! 🙂

Here is to dreaming of a new home for ourselves!!

Dreaming of a Lovely Christmas at Home!

Good afternoon, my beautiful creatives!

I am dreaming of Christmas in my new house. We are not there yet. We actually do not move in until December 1st.

In my world, we put up our Christmas decorations on November first. My hubby and I have made this one of our favorite Christmas traditions since the year my mom died, which was in 1999. He kept playing the song, “We Need A Little Christmas”, and we did, we really REALLY needed it.

So a Christmas tradition was born.

I know that November, 1st is technically early, but do you know how much work it takes to decorate everything beautifully??? And since my hubby and I are usually out of town for the actual Christmas holiday, we try to enjoy evenings with the twinkle of Christmas lights sparkling off of shining ornaments for as long as we can.

This year, however, since we are moving, and more specifically, moving on December 1st, we are not doing that this year. Right now, as I sit here typing this, I am thinking that our very first thing going up, in our new house, will be our Christmas tree. I won’t care if I haven’t yet found our toothbrushes, or drinking glasses. Those are just minor details compared to the ambiance and radiance that a Christmas tree brings to our home.

Even though I am so excited about our move, I am a little bit sad that I cannot decorate as early as I want to, and because of that I thought I would share some of my FAVORITE Christmas Instagram pics that I have discovered! This is just going to have to do it’s magic little best to tide me over to the day that I too will be able to share a pic of our Christmas home!!

Now that the Halloween decor is put away does anyone else have Christmas decorating on the brain??? Don’t worry I haven’t brought my Christmas decorations out yet. This is for inspiration only. This beautiful tree by @lizmariegalvan (who is my total decor girl crush) gives me all the feels 😍😍check out my story to see how I’m going to recreate this look and also bring my own style into it too of course 👍🏻 I’m so excited to have a tree that’s going to look covered in snow 👌🏻❄️🌨 . . . . #christmasinspiration #holidayinspo #christmasdecor #christmasideas #christmashome #rusticchristmas #vintagechristmas #fauxtree #fauxchristmastree #homedecorinspo #lizmariegalvanblog #blogger #bloginspo #seasonaldecorating

#новогоднийдекор советы от #christmashome 🌲👉Электрические #гирлянды – универсальное новогоднее украшение, но сама по себе нитка гирлянды смотрится не слишком эффектно, гораздо красивее переплетение ярких лампочек и зелени ветвей. Включение огней создаст эффект звездного света и поможет украсить темные углы или прихожую. В Европе есть #традиция #украшать лестничные перила детскими мягкими игрушками, они еще издалека покажут всем прохожим, что в доме праздник. И еще один #совет 👉 Заполните несколько больших прозрачных емкостей (это могут быть большие миски, хрустальные ладьи, кувшины с мелким красочным орнаментом) яркими ягодами и красивыми фруктами. Подобные украшения не только красивы, но и аппетитны. 👌#новыйгод #декор
