"Master Updates and Holiday House Tour Part 2"

Hi there!  Hope you guys had a great weekend.  Mine was pretty productive, so I can't complain.

I'm back to share with you a little more of my holiday décor.  A while back ago, I shared that I was giving my master bedroom an update.  I'd grown tired of the pastels and was ready for something a little different.  I'm not quite ready to paint yet so I wanted the updates to work with the existing wall color. 

 

It began with the Pottery Barn duvet I picked up at an amazing price.  I blogged about it HERE.
A few additional updates like bedside wall lamps, a new desk chair from Habitat ReStore...

 

Brass birds that I thrifted.... (I love that my Grandma had ones just like these.)
 

 

and more neutral drapes, finish things off.

 

 

These are store bought drapes that I had my seamstress cut in half and line with drapery lining.  A great cost effective option for a small window with a short return (return = space between the edge of the window and the adjacent wall).

 

I've kept the Christmas décor fairly straight forward in this space too.  A silver and gold tree and a few small touches including this great Pottery Barn tree pillow. 

 

In the kitchen, I've opted for a simple tablescape of candles, flowers and a ReStore cone tree.

The kitchen tree got an update with the addition of a new, more organic garland.

 

I took a fabric remnant and simply tore it into strips and tied them together. 

 

I love how it turned out.

 

Merry week before Christmas!
