A Lil' Glam Christmas Decor

It's Christmas time...

I LOVE it!

It's Christmas time...

SO FESTIVE!

It's Christmas time...

so, here are a few shots of what our living space looks like this year for Christmas.
Our very own, Glam Winter Wonderland.

A new tree has made a home in our living area this year. It's still a white pencil tree, but we went for a taller version and moved it to a new location in our space. It fills the area in so nicely and really becomes a focal point of the space instead of being shoved in a corner.

Larger ornaments have also been added to the collection this year. I love how all the glitz and glam just radiates when the lights are on. The tree just glows, so lovely.

No lights are on for these photos, because I just can't seem to capture the beauty of it on my camera, but imagine a nice warm glow while still being able to see the details of the ornaments.

We also have some new pieces in our home since I've last posted photos.

I AM IN LOVE... with EVERY. SINGLE. PIECE!

The dining table is from ZGallerie and I paired it with these gorgeous vintage lucite and fabric chairs on casters from Scout Design Studio. They were sourced, reupholstered, and casters replaced at that FAB studio. I love them! The Scout Pack helped make my design a reality in the white lacquered credenza also seen in the photo! Didn't it turn out GORGEOUSLY?! The lionhead pulls were sourced from East Texas. What you don't see are the stunning lucite legs at the bottom of the piece. It ties the whole space together!

There are also 2 other pieces that Scout Design Studio is pulling together for me: a credenza for our master bedroom and a desk chair for my office. I can't wait to share those with you.... they will be STUNNING!

The artwork above the credenza is a JoJo [that's me] original. We really enjoy soothing neutral color palettes.

To add some special shiny bling to the space, I hang wreaths on the mirrors. 

Another JoJo original is hanging in the foyer. It's a large 48" x 60" piece entitled "Maverick". I enjoy mixing metals, vintage/antiques, modern, natural wood, and glam. You can really see that played out in our foyer. The large antique mirror traveled from Round Top, Texas to Dallas by some kind soul who donated it to Dwell with Dignity for one of their Thrift Studio Pop-up Shops. I was the lucky person to see it immediately and bring it to our home to enjoy. And.... the money spent went to a great cause. What a win-win!

There's a tour of our living space, all decked out for a GLAM WINTER WONDERLAND CHRISTMAS!

Hope y'all have a FABULOUS holiday season!

UPDATED: Home Tour

Hello, friends!

It's been awhile, but I wanted to let you know that I am still here... ha!
Busy... busy... busy. Just like you... I'm sure.

I wanted to share some photos from our updated HOME SWEET HOME house tour.
I am constantly changing things around.... a perpetual "work in progress". But, with each and every change, it feels more and more right.

If you would like to see the rest of the tour, hop on over to the page HERE.

If you are interested in seeing kiddo's room, you can HERE.

Have a FANTASTIC day!

LIFE: Comfy and Cozy

One of my favorite places in our home is our bedroom...

cuddled up in bed...

looking at this view.

Such a soothing and calming place.

Do you have a favorite view in your home?

HOME TOUR: A 2014 Glam Christmas

As I mentioned in this post... we have changed up the Christmas decor in our home this year.

Actually eliminating the red. It's now more of a Winter Wonderland feel with warm shades of white, silver, and gold. Quite a different look than last year's decor found here.

There's quite a bit of glam and sparkle.... and I am LOVIN' it!

And believe it or not, so are my boys. They like how the home seems to flow and be more peaceful.

So, here is what I did.

I focused on three items of interest to be used throughout the home: trees, fur, and ornaments.
Plus glam and glitz where needed!

I utilized the reflection from our mirror-wall to add life to the silver ornament wreaths.
I love how they shimmer and shine.

I am also a HUGE fan of symmetry and balance.
So, I love to repeat a look I have created throughout the home.

It flows from our living space right into our bedroom.

We don't have an official Christmas location for the stockings, but I have always liked placing them on our buffet in the living area. Especially this year after giving a makeover to the buffet with white gloss paint. I really like the contrasting feel of the color combination of white/ivory and texture of gloss/fur.

Go HERE to see more details of our new white Christmas tree.

The rabbit fur pelts were new additions. I think the fur helps add to the warm and cozy feel. They were left over from our Wedding Vow Renewal Celebration and I am glad I now have another use for them!

I changed out some of our pillows and replaced them with silvery glam pillows.

The wreaths allow for a smooth transition into the bedroom [which you can see from the main living area since we keep our 2 pocket doors open during the day]. I added some bling to the bed with these snowflake pillows and some cozy warmth to our chair with a fuzzy throw. My tree collection also continues into the space with clear glass trees on the vintage chinoiserie dresser.

Just a little pop of Christmas cheer in my office with another one of my clear glass Christmas Tree pieces. 

Goes well with my clear glass paperweight collection... do you see a trend here? Ha!

I've recently added a new piece of art to my foyer.... and it seems to fit perfectly in the Christmas decor. 

That gold and white large abstract piece seems just right for our foyer!

Well, that's our little Christmas Home Tour for 2014.

You can go here to see my kiddo's room from this year.

It's wonderful to feel like I have finally reached the proper balance and style for our home. I want it to be warm, inviting, and peaceful.... and I think that even during Christmas it feels serene.

Thank you for visiting our little Winter Wonderland on Floor 24!

HOME: Kiddo's Christmas Decor

Kiddo's Christmas decor didn't change much from last year.

But, his room has changed significantly since last Christmas.... that wallpaper... l-o-v-e!

So, it really adds a wonderful touch to the overall feel of his room at Christmas time.

Here is how his tree looked last year.

We kept it pretty simple this year. 

Main focus is on the tree.

We added a few pieces of decor in his bathroom and these wreath ornaments on his closet doors.

I'm looking for a hand-made afghan in his colors [teal, celery green, and red] to add to the foot of his bed during the holiday season. He loves to cuddle up on his bed or couch and read. I think that would be a festive and practical touch. I have a feeling I will have to special order the color combination and it won't be ready this year. But, there are a lot of wonderful vendors of Etsy for this type of request!

As usual, he helped decorate the tree. But, this year he added a special touch to his technique....
He named EVERY SINGLE bird on his tree.

The top red one is named Hedwig.

I can't remember the rest of the birds.... but, he sure does.

It's the perfect size tree for his room...
and it's perfectly festive for his personality.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!
