HOLIDAY IDEAS TO MAKE YOUR HOME MERRY
HOLIDAY IDEAS TO MAKE YOUR HOME MERRY
For holidays at my house, I like to keep it simple and cozy. Every space in my home is decorated in a simplistic way basically to keep my calm and to create a cozy, merry vibe. For my outdoor space, I decorated the dining table with leftover pumpkins from the fall. I painted the pumpkins white and added some fresh pine and magnolia cuttings from the trees in my back yard. I also created a smaller centerpiece using a fun chalkboard, pumpkins, pine, and magnolia clippings.
LIVING ROOM/DINING ROOM
Next came my living space. My Christmas tree has lots of lights paired with simple silver ornaments. To keep the nature theme going, I designed a coastal garland for the dining table, made from pine clippings, oyster shells and a large coral.
KITCHEN
The chalkboard is so perfect for entertaining and customized decorating, that I had to add one in the kitchen as well. I love small Christmas trees and found this one at Micheals during an amazing clearance holiday sale. I love bargains!
BEDROOM
Decorating your home for the holidays doesn’t have to be limited to just the main living spaces and hallways. I love it when my family wakes up to a holiday atmosphere. To create a festive yet simple merry theme for each bedroom, I scattered holiday ornaments to match each color theme the room was already designed with.
A big thanks to Caroline for organizing the Simple Seasonal Home Tour. It’s been a pleasure. Sit back and relax, enjoy the home tour. Don’t forget to follow to start with 2 Bees in a Pod and continue to all the other gals home tours.

Your home is so beautiful!
I love the colours! Whereas I use colour like you use white, I use white the way you use colour! Sparingly and for impact, and it’s awesome.
The sudden blue in the bedroom is top notch.
Hope you have a great Holiday with your beautiful family.
Maria
LOVE those blue plates in the bedroom! I have a thing for blue & white decor. 🙂
Simple is beautiful and your home always looks amazing! The greenery from nature and the pops of blue are lovely. Merry Christmas!
Thank so much Amy, Happy Holiday to your and your lovely family.
Maria
Maria, love the simplicity of your decorating! Seems everyone is going simpler,which is what I do every year. Love the white pumpkins! It’s great that you found a way to transition them into Christmas. They look so nice painted. I always hate to see them discarded by the roadside & have been tempted to stop & pick up a few!
Go ahead and pick some, there are so many ideas to make with them! You can spray them with bug spray just in case, but the winter the bugs are gone.
Maria
So pretty. My favorite is the coastal table garland.
Thanks! Patti, Have a nice holiday
Maria

Maria your home is beautifully decorated. I also love decorating with pinecones. They add such warmth to any room. I was surprised to see the oyster shells and the coral. They do make quite a statement as a centerpiece. Merry Christmas.
Thanks Mary, you are the best commmentor, I wanted to do something different and thought about coral for a change.Hope it fits in?
Have a wonderful holiday season, Hugs Maria
