The girls and I thought it would be fun to make an advent calendar this year. We were looking through a Pottery Barn Kid’s catalog and saw this wooden tree one that we all loved but it was a little pricey and also already sold out.
Month: November 2014
I just wanted to pop in and wish you all a Happy Saturday!
I had hoped to have the tutorial for this advent calendar up this morning but I didn’t get it finished. Hopefully I will be able to finish it up tonight so I can post it tomorrow morning.
As I mentioned in Saturday’s post when we went up to NH earlier this fall we had a little fun adding some of our Christmas decor to Jason’s house (you can see a before and after tour of his house here). We kept it very simple and thought it would be fun to show how just a few little touches can help make a space feel more festive.
This morning we are excited to introduce our newest hand-painted framed wood sign, “Silent Night” (it will be available at 10am). This one has a lightly handpainted gold frame and lightly handpainted gold lettering on a soft white background. We added this one to our bedroom because we thought it would look nice above our dresser.
Now that we have made some progress at Jason’s house we thought it would be fun to add a few Christmas touches (or I should probably say I thought it would be fun, haha!) We kept it really simple and just added some greenery and paperwhites throughout the house and a few other small touches.
Although I mostly stick to a neutral Christmas palette, the last few years I have tried little bits of red here and there. This year though, we didn’t do any red and we are doing a simple, neutral palette throughout the house except in the girls’ bedroom and playroom where we have all sorts of PINK!
