Our Christmas Home Tour | 2016

I cannot believe the last seasonal home tour I shared was from the fall of 2015!!!  I'm sure you all know by now that I love to swap things out as the seasons evolve.  The fresh colors and textures inject new energy and life into the house...it's the best!

Unfortunately, due to some major health issues, I could barely decorate for Christmas last year...let alone take pictures, edit and post them to the blog.  By the time spring and summer rolled around, I managed to spruce up the house and even took some pictures, but my brain could not handle trying to edit them or put a blog post together.  Same for the fall, but thankfully, I managed to decorate, take pictures and get myself onto the blog for Christmas!  Are my images edited?  No.  Are they "on time" in terms of posting my holiday home for the blog world?  Definitely no.  But hey...better late than never, right?! ;)

So without further ado, here's how our home is looking these days...

I love using bright pops of color around my home...and the unconventional pink, purple and blue theme drew me in this year.  I love how cheerful and fun it feels.  Hope you enjoyed the peek at our great room all decked out for the season!

Fall Home Tour - 2015

If you've been around my blog for a while, you know I love to decorate for the changing seasons...as in, loooove to do it.  In fact, some of my favorite posts (ever) were when I was a part of the Blogger Stylin' Home Tours.  They always gave me an excuse to play with new color schemes and freshen up the view.

I may not be a part of the BSHT this year, but that doesn't mean I've stopped decorating as each new season came along.  In April and May, I started a "before and after" series showing the progress we've made in our humble home, and if you checked out those posts, it's clear this spring and summer were all about the light and bright.  Aqua, coral, citron...oh my!

To simplify my seasonal swaps, I keep a consistent base all year round (blues, gray, B&W, mixed metallics) and swap out different shades and hues to breathe new life into our home.  This makes the process inexpensive and enjoyable.

Last fall, bright, almost neon, colors were my inspiration.  It was fun, vibrant and warm.  This year, I found myself drawn to all-things-purple...more specifically aubergine, plum and orchid.  (Fun fact, growing up...purple was my favorite color before turquoise stole my heart.)  These colors, as well as a few pops of mustard, really help to warm up the cool blues throughout our home.

Prior year decor, a few Michael's pumpkins and pinecones, spray paint, Behr paint samples, fabric and help from momma all made our home fall-ready this year.  I'm a big fan, and even hubby commented that it might be his favorite "look" yet!

Here's a million and one pictures...I hope you enjoy! :)

So...are you guys lovers of swapping out decor seasonally?  Or does #nobodygottimeforthat...believe me, I'd totally understand.

More of Our Christmas Home...

Our great room wasn't the only place that got the holiday treatment this season.  I love to spread the Christmas cheer throughout our whole house...including our master bedroom.  I don't decorate much in there, but the few additions I make sure enhance the cozy feeling I get while snuggling in bed. Everything is better with some string lights...am I right?!

Do you guys decorate your bedrooms too?!  What is your favorite area of the house to decorate? Don't forget to check out our great room all decked out here! :)
