The Christmas Bedroom Reveal
A few weeks ago, I blogged about easy ways to turn your bedroom
into a Christmas winter Wonderland.
I have been busy getting the house ready for holiday decor,
and to be honest, the common living spaces in our home is
where I keep the main focus when it comes to holiday decorating.
However, I do like to give our master bedroom retreat a cozy,
warm, and glowy look during the holidays. I have to admit, it's
really nice calling it a night during a chilly December night, and walking into
a room with a soft glow from twinkle lights, candles, some holly, and above all,
cozy bedding in coordinating holiday colors and textures.
In the following photos, you will see how I gave our master bedroom
a little holiday cheer without going overboard. One thing I have to
let you know, and I don't know if you've noticed it yet whenever I post
photos of our bedroom or our daughter's room, I keep
the pictures focused on specific items such as decor, bedding, etc...I feel the that with
having a blog, Instagram, and Facebook, there is so much already shared, that I like to
keep certain private areas of our home sacred. For me, our bedrooms are our private spaces
where we can retreat to without opening it all up to the world. But nonetheless, I made sure to
capture as much of the holiday decor that I brought into the room while maintaining
as much privacy as possible.

I hope you enjoy these photos, and hope that this post inspires you to bring Christmas and the holidays into your bedroom.
I wanted to maintain a gender neutral decor
that both my hubby and I would feel comfortable with.
On his nightstand, I added this fabric representation
of a cute little stagg head. I used the same plaid fabric I used in
making our accent pillow covers, and used white fabric for the background.
I think it gives off the right amount of masculinity to his nightstand while evoking
a real holiday feel at the same time.
The letter above our headboard was the perfect find..
it not only is the monogram for our last name, but it came
attached to this festive plaid ribbon which coordinates perfectly with
the plaid accent pillows on the bed and chairs...
with the plaid ribbon from which they hang, they give the wall
above our headboard some Christmas texture...

A string of lights was one of the ideas that I
contemplated implementing in my design...However,
while shopping one day, I came across this shimmery
banner, and I knew it was perfect for stringing over the headboard.
I love how it turned out. And, when the lights are on in the room,
this little "CHEER' banner, sparkles beautifully. One little secret about
this little banner that I must share... Initially, it spelled out the word
"CHEERS," I simply removed the "S", and gave our headboard a little
Holiday CHEER! Don't worry, I kept the "S" as it will come in quite
handy in my NYE decor!
most of what I saw at the stores or in my favorite catalogs
was either flannel, or the designs were a bit too overwhelming.
Because I knew I wanted to use plaid in the room, I decided to use the
Ralph Lauren bedding I purchased this summer, and incorporate the plaid into my
existing bedding. I really like the way the plaid works with the gray and white
in my bedding. (I had not yet styled my bedside table yet)
plaid into the room. I purchased the fabric and sewed
pillow covers in this beautiful fabric. I chose to sew
covers that I can remove, store, and recover the pillows
with other seasonal fabrics throughout the year rather than
permanently covering the pillows.

exactly what I envisioned. I love when that happens!!
decor. I traced a stagg template onto white
fabric and attached it to the small accent pillow in the center,
and I cannot stop looking at this cute little guy making his
presence in the room.
And, who doesn't love a beautifully wrapped little gift box...
I used fabric to wrap this little present, and although not visible in the picture,
the ribbon is filled with shimmery, little stagg heads...Adorable!!

Here, I traced a stagg head onto plaid fabric, and glued it
onto a piece of white fabric, and placed him into this gold frame.
I think the little guy gives my hubby's nightstand a masculine holiday feel!
Since we are talking plaid...I used the same fabric to dress up the chair that sits near my husband's dressing area. I tied a thick white ribbon across the pillow cover, and instantly, the chair changed from everyday to holiday mode.
I just love how this little stagg head frame looks
dressed in it's Christmas plaid...
Here's a full view of the look all put together...
This cozy throw is perfect for those chilly winter
nights...Ok, I know, I know, I live in SO CAL,
there aren't very many chilly nights..LOL
Well actually, the temps do drop quite
significantly here in the burbs, and this cozy throw
is perfect for keeping warm.
This chair that sits along the bay window
doesn't go with our furniture, but aside from it being
one of my favorite spots in the room to sit and relax...The
Chair has a back story from when our daughter
was born, so I really enjoy sitting in it
during the mornings as I sip tea and read emails.
I sewed a plaid pillow cover to give it a little holiday cheer.
The mirror over the console table got a little dressed up for the holidays.
This little branch wreath and thin plaid ribbon hanging from the gold
wreath holder compliment the overall design of The Christmas Bedroom perfectly.

DIY design, and it is filled with imperfections, but the message is
perfect!
cup to my side of the room, and my nightstand is now dressed
and ready for the holidays!

you to design your very own Christmas Bedroom as well.
