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!

ARTWORK by JoJo: Big and Bold

I tend to work with a lot of neutrals and soft colors with most of my work... 
but, I really do enjoy going BIG and BOLD when the mood hits.

Here is how that mood played out on canvas recently:

A VERY Special Commission and Some Summer Vacay Shots

We are working on slightly upgrading/maturing my kiddo's room with a few minor changes/additions. 
One-of-which included my kiddo pleading with me for a specific commissioned piece of art.

"Come on, MOM... YOU CAN DO IT!"

With his sincere persistence and confidence, I proceeded to.... "try".

It might have worked out quite well. You can be the judge.
Kiddo has already provided me with his input.

None-the-less, it did make me realize that I have literally thousands of shots from our London trip this summer to still edit.... Ugggghhhh!!!!

At the very least.... here are a few inspiration photos!

Be posting more photos from our holiday abroad.
And.... final pics of kiddo's updated room.

What do you think.
Did I.... DO IT?!?!
