We're ready to decorate for the holidays, right?
This year has blown by and I'm still trying to catch my breath from our move in February. It's our first year in our "new" space and I'm over here trying to decide what color to paint rooms and spaces - I have zero plan for Christmas - but I did want to go BIG in the kid's room for the holiday decor this year. Their room is the largest in the house and I was like let's do it up in here to get in the mood for the holidays because I still don't know where the family Christmas tree is going to go...
I went out of my usual 'real-tree' comfort zone and got a small faux tree for their room. I've never done a Christmas Tree in the kid's room before, apparently that's a thing? I figure it can serve as our household Christmas tree if I never get my act together to decorate downstairs. Right?
Like every year - I want whimsical, kitsch and eclectic holiday decor. I loved the DIY holiday paper decorations the kids made a few years ago so I immediately pulled those out and I was like I think we need to make MORE...and gave them free rein to create whatever they wanted for their space. They decided to add a little tinsel onto their hand drawn reindeer, snowmen, snow globes, cocoa mugs and presents before adding them to the walls across the room. Then made different sized ornaments to hang from the wall with paper fan decorations in blue and pink. They look so cute and I love seeing their visions come to life. I especially love that they added little Santa hats to the art around the room - the turtle, duck and giraffe are looking especially festive.
After the paper decorations were up we grabbed their stockings from the Christmas box, some pom garland from a few years back and some tinsel garland to decorate their reading nook and Christmas tree. I love how cute the tree looks, tho I wish I went a little bigger. I also swapped out some art with cute festive pieces like this pink sprinkle deer bust. I added fairy lights and disco balls to make it even more whimsical. I added a few bottle brush trees to their dresser top and more fairy lights on the plants and red mirror before heading over to the bed.
I love their bunk bed and was inspired to go bright and bold for the bedding. I asked them to pick the bedding they wanted and I loved the combinations they came up with. I was very excited about the candy cane stripes because I've been trying to convince them to do stripes in their room all year...
After putting on the bedding I added a few drawings of theirs and a cute little merry Christmas bow under their loft (with the addition of fairy lights because we have to have fairy light everywhere right?). I knew I had to do a garland on the loft side of the bed and loved this disco ball garland. I hung it with some S hooks and thought it needed a little more. You already know fairy lights were involved but I also added some tinsel for flair.
Obviously I fired up the projector with cozy backgrounds on the pull down projector screen. I love this duo and while I wanted to have the screen across from their beds it seems way more practical behind the bunk bed lofts. They spend way more time on the oversized blue chair so it just makes sense. Also how cute it that cat pillow? I can't.
I swapped out the pink curtains for red and I kind of love this color story. I've been dragging my feet on their room lately and I kind of feel like I'm on the right track now..
