Create a Cool and Calm Christmas with Blue And White Décor

I am dreaming of a blue Christmas

Create a Cool and Calm Christmas with Blue And White Décor

Sometimes having a blue Christmas can be a good thing.

Blue Isn't Your Thing? Then You'll Like This

 

 



 

I love the colour blue. It is pretty, calming and fresh.

What colours inspire you when you decorate for the holidays?

Let's Get This Party Started!

Ikea Kitchen Renovation

Let's Get This Party Started!

Kitchen Reno: Part 3

Tomorrow is the day I have been waiting for.  I have lived with the ugliest kitchen ever for five long years. But tomorrow that is all going to change.

We are getting our new kitchen.

Sure, I have not picked out the counters yet {it’s so hard to choose!} and I need to special order some hardware {I am super picky} but the ugly cabinets are getting torn down.

I think that ignorance is bliss right now because I really have no idea how challenging this will be with my three year old and one year old at home. The thing I worry about the most is nap time. I love nap time. I need nap time. That and the fact that we are hosting Christmas dinner this year. Sure hope it’s ready on time!

Wish me luck and please come along for the ride as I blog my way through the Gunn Family Kitchen Reno.

Holiday Decor Wish List

Can you really ever have enough Christmas decorations?

Holiday Decor Wish List

I have a basement full of Christmas decorations but that does not stop me from adding to it every year {much to my husband’s dismay}. Here is my wish list for this year:

I really want a wreath like any of these.

Advent calendars are a must have in my house, but I like mine to be pretty. I’d like to add this one from nouveau designs to my collection. It would look so beautiful framed.

I would love to buy my son this bedding from Pottery Barn. I just think it is so sweet {just like him}.

Also at the top of my wish list is a small vintage cast iron tree stand for a table top tree like my mom has every year.

I really love these cushions and they would look perfect on the bench in my front hallway. Feel free to tell my husband.

Leave a comment and tell me what is on your Holiday Decor Wish List this year for a chance to win a set 4 tickets to the Seasons Christmas Show happening November 19th-21st. I have two sets to give away!

I can’t wait to go and cross some items off of my wish list. And maybe do a little Christmas shopping too.
