Home DecorBlogger Stylin’ Home Tours – Christmas 2014 December 8, 2014 Happy first day of Blogger Stylin’ Home Tours Christmas 2014! If you’re just finding The White Buffalo, I am so happy that you’re here! To catch you up quickly, I’m Lindsay. I’m married to Chris. We have a large furry baby (Great Dane Gracie). We’re expecting a sweet little Rosie in January (read about all things Baby Buffalo here). And the White Buffalo is about LIVING EVERY DAY WITH STYLE. For more on who we are, check out the About page. Okay, now, moving on to our lovely tour today! I love every single edition of this series of mine. I absolutely love seeing all of the amazingly talented bloggers’ homes. But there is just something about Christmas. I love mixing up my Christmas decor each year. I always choose a theme as my inspiration and really have fun carrying it out. We have a very open floor plan, so this keeps the decor cohesive. Plus, it lets me push my creativity. I thrive on that! Last year, I went with an overall idea that I was inspired by: Anthro Christmas Lodge. You can see that full tour here. This year, as I was brainstorming my theme, I found an inspiration item instead. A vintage, woven shawl in a gorgeous color scheme caught my eye at a local thrift store. So, I decided to use it as my Christmas tree skirt and build the rest of my decor from this beautiful color palette: NAVY, TURQUOISE, RED, AND PEACH. I always love mixed patterns and an unexpected, eclectic style, but this Christmas, I really had fun mixing things up a bit. When you first come into our little cottage, what we’ve deemed “The Lounge” greets you. This fireplace redo has gotten quite a bit of airtime around the blog lately, but it is my favorite project to date! And I am loving it styled for Christmas in these colors. You can see the before and after of this fireplace here. It was such a dramatic transformation for $50! Check out how we made those sconces here and the DIY Faux Marble Fire Screen here. They really cozy up this space for the holiday. I shared our Christmas tree last week. You can see more photos of it here. Let’s venture on to the rest of the house, shall we? The Lounge opens up into our living room. It got a fun dose of color this holiday! The pillows and throw are from Home Goods. I had fun bringing our color palette into this area. One of my favorite parts of our Christmas decorations are our garland-adorned built-ins in the living room. I started with a pine garland from Trader Joe’s. I love their greenery this year! Then, I layered on some suede fringe trim as garland. I love using this stuff. It drapes so beautifully and looks fun and fancy with zero work involved! And then I added in a gold beaded garland from the dollar store! I love sitting on the couch and staring at these pretty shelves. Who knew simply draped garlands could bring so much joy? When we renovated this place, we removed the two main walls in these main areas and separated the different areas with faux beams. I love styling my open shelves in the kitchen, but this Christmas, I really gave them some cheer. I stuck with a pretty neutral palette for the shelves. Our kitchen already has so much color with that rug and the live edge island. Some small wreaths from Trader Joe’s and a few mixed-metallic trees livened these shelves right up. I love the berries and pinecones on these wreaths! The trees are from Target and Home Goods. Gold and silver sure are a pretty pairing against white. And I’ve been so excited to decorate our new dining room for Christmas. While I love these curtains for everyday, they scream Christmas to me (curtain fabric from Joann’s). They’re so perfect for this color scheme: red and peach roses with different shades of blue. I really had fun mixing patterns in the dining room. The vintage, plaid wool tablecloth pulls the red and blues out of the curtains, but really adds an eclectic vibe. I love bringing in different shades of the same color to add depth. The napkins are also made from Joann’s fabric. I used my Christmas tree collection as a centerpiece, so simple place-settings fit the bill. A simple gold pinecone at each place setting was just enough. Thank y’all for visiting our Christmas home! Sending lots of love, joy, and sweet merry wishes your way this Christmas! Now I can’t wait to see what the next stop on this tour has in store! Michael from Inspired by Charm is so talented and ALWAYS fabulous. Check out his tour here.

Michael Wurm, Jr. says December 8, 2014 at 7:01 am Okay, when I first saw your color choices I was like … uh oh. But then I saw your home and I was like … OMG. I should have never momentarily doubted your vision. This is perfection. I love how you made it your own. The garland above the TV. So dope! All the vintage touches are ah-mazing. Killer, friend. 🙂 And thanks for having me be a part of this fab tour and for putting it all together. It’s totally an honor. MERRY CHRISTMAS! Michael PS. I’m going to steal all the trees on your table. I kind of have a “thing” for them. Reply
