Oh the Love!-Nursery Reveal

 I am proud to announce miss Aspen, our newest addition. Which makes 3 little princesses in our home. So, sorry that I've been AWOL for about a month now. I have been pretty busy with Christmas, being 9 months prego, having 8 house guests for over a week and then having and taking care of a precious new little girl. Phew makes me tired just typing it. But now we are back into our regular schedule and everyone is doing well.

I happy to say that she and I are very much enjoying her nursery. Decorating nurseries is my favorite! Such fun. And I just love how everything fell together so perfectly in this room, and for way cheap too. Here's a recap.
 I used the turquoise dresser I refinished forever ago as her changing table and dresser. (a $10 Craiglist steal)
 Above her dresser I dry brushed an old window and hung on a fabric bulletin board. Window was free on Craigslist and fabric bulletin board I found it at TJ Maxx for $10. Can't wait to add pictures and cute quotes. The butterfly is a $1 Walmart ornament.
 I also found this cute butterfly wall vinyl at Kohl's.
Which matches the scrapbook paper wall art above her crib perfectly.
 The bedding is Pottery Barn's Chloe- now discontinued. I found on ebay for $32 including shipping!!

I embellished the blanket with ribbon and rosettes. I also added these rosettes to the pillow sham.
 
Easily added the pink and turquoise ribbon with permanent fabric glue.
  I finished up the curtains which are just clearance sheets folded and ironed with ribbon sewn to the top. Sew easy. ;)


And you can't forget the beautiful $9 end table I refinished.
I am not the proudest of the big ugly recliner. But hey it is super comfy for middle of the night feedings, it rocks, reclines, is neutral and was only $28. haha

This room is perfect for me and baby. What do you think?

My Christmas Kitchen





 Yep I still need to add pictures to the snowflake frames. I plan on using one of our Christmas cards that has a few smaller pictures.

 It's kinda a snow theme...
 Handmade crochet snowflakes made by my grandmother years ago. Love them!

 Can't forget the kids...
 Yep Tacky window stickers, but if it keeps the kids entertained while I'm throwing dinner together then so be it. But the fresh blanket of snow is pretty.
 My little Snowmen family on top of my fridge. See tutorial here. So cute and easy!

A little more unique Christmas front porch with an antique sled and iceskates.
$5 goodwill sled, functional and pretty. I had to fight my mom for her old skates, but worth it ;)

O Tannenbaum

 Here is our beautiful Christmas tree this year. The theme is silver and red. Last year it was just silver but I felt like it needed red to tie into the red of our Christmas decor better.
Anyone else have a leaning angel? Hubby doesn't care and I'm too prego to try to fix it. ;)
 I love that during the day the poinsettas and the silver really stand out from darker green of the tree.
 And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care.




I love our garland along the stairwell. (And here's a sneak peek of the Christmas kitchen decor.)



And here's the best for last. Now who doesn't love a glowing tree at night? Feels like Christmas Eve.

Deck the Halls- Dining Room

Ohh how I love decorating for Christmas. Here's what I did this Christmas in our dining room. Ohh how I love it.
It is just so easy with Red and Greenery and Sparkle all over!
 MMM take in the Bling Bling.

 I got my red ornaments last year at Target's after clearance sale for 90% off!!
That's like basically free. I stocked up but now I wish I would have gotten more. :)


 My Joy and Believe were after Christmas buys at TJ Maxx. 
This Believe banner could so easily be recreated by all you crafters out there.
Now who wants to join me for Christmas dinner?
Stay tuned for my Family Room, Kitchen, and Porch Christmas decor.
Coming Soon!
