Rustic Christmas decor in our Basement

For our basement I kept with the Neutral Christmas theme but added some subtle touches of red. I  hung a red striped jute webbing garland off a antique Barn door.. Isn't this door amazing??..  This past summer I found a trio of doors with the glass still intact for $75 for all 3!! so I jumped at the deal even though I had no idea where they would go or how my hubby would react.. Thank goodness for free delivery ;) We originally had them outside leaned against our fence for the remainder of summer but we brought them in for winter.. 2 are hiding in storage and 1 is leaning against our walls behind this bench , I like the way it looks so much I may just keep it there!

For some sparkle, I hung a Vintage Glass ornament garland across our chicken wire Frame.

I filled a weathered wooden planter box full of an assortment of smaller metallic ornaments and placed it on our end table.

 

Behind our couch I placed a small Christmas Vignette using wooden 'Merry Christmas' blocks and two small trees with rustic wooden tree trunks.

I moved the large Burlap body pillow from our Fall Porch display indoors to this bench. I wrapped cream and red ticking stripe fabric around it and then added a bow.. It changed an ordinary pillow into something festive.. And the best part is I'm not locked into any colour scheme..I can change it up whenever I like this way;)

Our Neutral Holiday House Tour

I always like to decorate with Neutrals and Vintage Decor. So for Christmas it was no different.. I incorporated lots of Burlap, Jute and wood throughout our home for a very natural organic feel.. Shall we say French Country Rustic Christmas.. The best part about decorating with neutrals is most of the decor can stay up once the Tree comes down ;) To keep the all the neutrals interesting, I used lots of glittery accents mixed with subtle touches of Red and Metallics. Now our Home feels warm and festive .. ready for the holiday season ahead. 

 See our FULL Christmas Home Tour... Come in and have a Look...

JOY Dollar Store Ornaments with a simple twist.

I was at the Dollar Tree the other day and found these cute Gold JOY glittered ornaments for $1.25 for 5! Our tree is mostly decorated with wood, burlap, jute and white ornaments.. Basically it's more neutral..So to make them flow with our decor, I thought why not just paint them? I painted them in Annie Sloan chalk paint in Old White. See below on how Our Christmas Tree looks now..

Adding Woven Jute Ribbon to Our Christmas Tree

Today is just a small post on my latest Homesense Holiday find.. A woven roll of 3 inch burlap jute trim on this great rustic wooden spool.. for only $5.99.. I honestly thought I was seeing things.. Plus it was 10yrds for under $6.. that's almost unheard of!!! When I first bought it I wasn't quite sure where it was going to go.. I just knew I NEEDED IT!! 

Master Bedroom Reveal

Here is our Master Bedroom Reveal.. The real big change was the ensuite bath renovation which left very little money for other additions. So this really was a Makeover using the furniture / accents that we had.. Aside from The New Crate and Barrel Colette Linen bed frame!!! It was our only huge splurge! It had been on my want / dream list for over 3 yrs.. So when we had our daughter I weaselled my way into getting it as a generous Push present!! (We needed a bed frame so what a better excuse than that?)

 We kept Our bedroom neutral to flow with the rest of the house. To stop it from being boring I mixed a lot of old and new items with neutral patterned fabrics. The bed features a beige and white striped duvet from Ikea and the best part of it is that it was under $50 and its reversible!!! I mixed it with a ton of fabric throw pillows from various sources. To soften the large window we added curtains, the curtain fabric is beige and white with a thin brown pin striped detail. The wall Art made a huge difference in this space. It not only personalized it, but It jazzed up the boring beige walls!! The Horizontal wood frame with burlap matting features some black and white professional photos from our wedding. The white Ribba Ikea frames feature some Black and white photos from a recent trip to Bahamas.. I love using trip photography.. Its such a nice reminder of where you've been and the memories you made there.

The Make-up , Reading Nook area was just that.. It was a great alcove for my vanity and french provincial chair to go. The vintage bevelled mirror above the dresser was a great $20 Goodwill find a few years back!!

The wood dressers and end tables are all from my childhood.. Eventually we plan to get a new grown up set but for now these do the trick. We painted them Antique white and changed all the hardware.. Overall they give the look I want... Just don't look too close :)

Not the best picture I know.. but to the left of the window I have a woven tray from a trip we took to Bahamas.. It made my luggage so heavy!! I thought my husband was going to explode when I walked out of the store with it, he didn't! He just shook his head.. and look it all worked out ;)
The tray is great for my laptop or breakfast in bed (which never happens!) On the tray is basket full of dried lavender.. I just love the scent of lavender in a room!
