Hello!
I have been out of commission this week due to the “Thanksgiving Plague” that I picked up while visiting my brother-in-law over the holiday. We left early after his family started dropping like flies, but alas, we were not spared. I usually avoid these nasty bugs (my husband refers to me as “The Carrier”), so it’s been a tough week! I’m still not 100%, but I’m at least semi-functioning today, thank goodness.
I hope you’ve been enjoying all of the Christmas tours – I certainly have. So much goodness out there!
Amanda’s tour at Amanda Carol Interiors was so gorgeous and classic:
Then we popped over to Dixie Delights to see Amanda’s home decked out to the nines:
She had so many beautiful elements, I couldn’t pick a favorite!
You won’t want to miss Pam’s tour at Simple Details. She never ceases to amaze me with her eye for mixing patterns and adding unexpected elements to her designs. Love it.
Don’t miss the full line up – you won’t be disappointed!

Since I made some paint changes to my home this year, I thought it would be fun to do a little flashback to last year’s holiday decor and compare it to this year. While I really loved the color it used to be (Palladian Blue), I’m really thrilled with the new look, as it gives me a more neutral backdrop to work with.
Last year (yes, I love those large scale chalkboard engineering prints):
This year:
Last year:
This year – welcome Revere Pewter! It really does live up to its reputation.
Then:
Now:
You have to love the power of paint!
The kitchen has gotten a lift as well – more on that room soon. But you can see that the colors really work well together (Revere Pewter in the background hallway). I’m loving it.
Have a great day!

December 6, 2014 at 4:31 amI thought your old colors were sooooo pretty but I agree, it's so much easier to have a neutral backdrop, isn't it? Especially for us serial redecorators? The Revere Pewter looks great with your board and batten and all your crisp white trim!
