This weekend the last of my holiday decor was finished up. It feels so good to have it done.
Now I can concentrate on baking, shopping and enjoying the season.
One of the rooms receiving my attention was the master bedroom.
My goal was to keep things simple.
I stuck to my favorite color combo of red and white, which seems to be my go-to colors for the winter months. I also added a little silver for some sparkle.
On my bedside table I added a stack of books tied up with muslin, a sprig of greenery and my favorite holiday scented candle - twisted peppermint - Yummy!
Simple and pretty.
The other side of the bed received a tiny tree in an urn and two mercury glass votives.
The bed received cozy flannel sheet, a white coverlet and a few favorite pillows.
To add a little more color, I draped a red and white striped curtain panel at the end of the bed.
I'm most excited about what I've place above the bed.
Three glitter houses, a grouping of bottle brush trees, a white feather boa and a few fairy lights.
All together, it adds up to a beautiful display and is it by far my favorite in the house.
I love how pretty it looks.
The feathers add such a nice softness and a light and airy feel.
The large house in the middle I put together from a kit picked up at Micheal's.
You may have seen them in the kids craft section, it's meant to be a dollhouse.
Putting it all together was a bit of chore, taking much longer then I anticipated.
I'm so glad I stuck with it.
Now she's beautiful.
The church I also picked up from Micheal's.
After a little glitter she fits perfectly into the mix.
**sigh**
Did you see the feather? I can't get enough!
The remaining house you may remember from my glitter house tutorials.
I'm very proud of this house. It's by far the largest glitter house I've made.
She looks wonderful surrounded with bottle brush trees and feathers don't you think?
The best part about the whole display is the way it looks at night.
The fairy lights give everything a soft warm glow and the glitter on the house sparkle so prettily.
I tried very hard to come up with a good picture to show you.
I'm thinking it's beyond my scope of knowledge.
To give you a glimpse, here's the best I could do.
Hope you enjoyed this.
Hubby actually gave it his stamp of approval - can you believe it.
His exact words . . . " I can't believe I'm telling you this, but it looks nice, I really like it."
ahhhh, honey - - you sweet talker you.
Hope you all have a snappy day!
