Post-Holiday Living & Dining Room

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Yes, I am still here my friends. It took me awhile to get the right footing again on blogging with all the holiday and post-holiday hoopla going around in our household, but I am hoping that I can start posting regularly again and share my home adventures with ya'll!

Anyway, if you follow me on  INSTAGRAM, you know how hectic my life has been. I was however, able to put away my Christmas decorations after New Years eve, with the help of my nice and nephew who were visiting from California. And because I still was not so "over" Christmas really, I kept a lot of the RED around...

Reds and browns all around
 I obviously kept my red throw and pillows, and I got a lot of potted ponsettias from our church, that I decided to keep this color scheme for a while. And with Valentines on the horizon, I think red is the perfect color for now, don't you think?

Added my Dwell studio bird pillow in preparation for the Spring Transition


Driftwood, my malachite box collection and some gold berries I recently scored, round up my simple coffee table vignette


Books dominate my Piano Display

Also moved these embroidered art work from the Master Bedroom to here.

I moved my giant Fiddle lead figs from the Breakfast area to the Living room and they both are just a joy to see! Look how much they have grown?!

The console is back in it's usual spot.

I love my simple mantel all because of these two Does I recently scored with the help of Cassie at Primive and Proper
I love the light and airy feel of our home after all the Christmas garb comes down...



The Dining room is a clean slate as well. I think this is the most toned down this room has been for a while!



I hope you enjoyed this brief tour. I will share with you some recent scores I've collected this last few months next time and hopefully share with you some plans and projects I want to tackle for 2016!


Have a Great week Friends!

VEL

  16. Your home ALWAYS looks beautiful Vel. Love the pops of red that you added in and I love your fiddle leaf figs. I don't get enough sunlight to keep one alive so I enjoy seeing others who have had success growing them.

  17. As always pretty girl your home looks gorgeous and back to 'normal' life you have decorated it beautifully. I love the brass centerpiece and candles at your dinner table and of course, your ghost chairs are awesome! The red is always so bright and cheerful for any season and this makes you all ready for Valentine's.
    I know, my life has been hectic since last November's birth of little Maxima I haven't stopped with the holidays and the traveling, oh boy!
    Thanks for your sweet visit pretty girl.
    Hope your new year is off to a good start.
