2016 Merry & Bright Holiday Home Tour ‘Highlight Reel’

December 19, 2016

The countdown to Christmas is officially one and like many of you I am scrambling to get all of those last minute tasks complete so I can relax and enjoy the beauty of the season.

If you’ve followed the Merry & Bright Holiday Home Tour this year, I hope you found lots of inspiration for decorating, entertaining, gift wrapping and celebrating the season. If you missed any of the posts, I’ve created what I’m calling the Merry & Bright Highlight Reel to share snippets from each bloggers holiday home. And if you want to catch up on Part 1, 2 or 3 of the tour, I’ve included links to each of the bloggers posts.

‘Tis the Season!

I love adding holiday themed vignette in every room, mixing Christmas decor with everyday items.

It’s always fun to add a holiday skirt to my dress form.

I switched out everyday art for these fun Christmas themed prints I found on Etsy.

Pretty ribbons and paper are always a part of my holiday decor.

The Poinsettia gift wrap from Paper Mart inspired my holiday decor.

My decor this year incorporated lots of bright, bold colors. And I used accent of black to add contrast and drama.

Wrapped presents are accented with handmade fabric gift tags.

Handmade holly leaf swizzle sticks were a fun addition to my cocktail bar.

The dining table is dressed out in a mix of patterns and pops of red and black.

ConfettiStyle Christmas Decor Theme–2016

October 31, 2016

Every year I develop a design plan for my Christmas decor and share it with you here on the blog. I create an inspiration board that gives a visual overview of the colors, patterns and tree decor that will make up my holiday decor. Today’s the day that I’m sharing my 2016 Christmas decor theme with you before the elves (me) get to work decorating.

I also wanted to let you know that I am again hosting the Merry & Bright Holiday Home Tour blog hop with Kellie from Design Asylum. This is the 2nd year for the blog tour and it’s exciting because we have even more fabulous bloggers participating and two great brand sponsors for 2016.

So, without further a-due, here’s a look at my Merry & Bright Holiday Home Design Plan for 2016…

♦♦♦

The inspiration for my theme started when I spotted this Poinsettia wrapping paper from Paper Mart. I fell in love with the design and bold but classic color combination.

Then I spotted Cassie’s Christmas tree on Pinterest which was decorated in all of the colors used in the wrapping paper design. From there my plan really came together.

My Christmas tree will bold and bright and will include a mix of classic colors and pops of pink and gold. And I’ll be throwing some black and white into the mix as well.

I’m planning to pair the poinsettia wrap with other patterns like stripes and dots and will be using a variety of ribbons to tie the colors together.

Another fun element I’ll be using are touches of boxwood. I’ll be hanging a boxwood wreath from Silk Plants Direct and I’m also planning to use boxwood elements in my gift wrap and in my holiday tablescape.

I’ve ordered some pretty tags and stickers from Zazzle and have my eyes on a couple of new Christmas pillows like this one and this one.

Christmas is definitely my favorite time of the year and I can’t wait to share my decor with you. I also have some great gift guides, entertaining posts and easy DIY projects planned.

Mark your calendars for the 2016 Merry & Bright Holiday Home Tour. Like last year, all of the participating bloggers will be sharing their holiday home tours over a 3 week period starting November 30th.
