~how to create a cozy holiday bedroom~


I love adding holiday touches to every room in the home, and the bedroom is one of my favorites to decorate.

Add faux or real greenery

Have you ever thought about adding a tree to your bedroom? The lights look magical at night and create a great glow.




Create cozy vignettes with candles

Candlelight is so romantic. Try adding scents that go with the season. This is my all time favorite holiday candle.

Corral clutter

A bedroom should be a clutter free place. If you have extra books or magazines by your bed, keep the uncluttered look by placing them nicely in a tray.



Add on cozy layers with blankets and flannel sheets

I love to use either flannel sheets or fleece sheets in the winter. 
I also like to layer on the cozy fuzzy blankets!




Add comfy seating

I  got this new bench and it is seriously my new favorite thing in my house!
Seriously, it is so reasonably priced and looks very high end. 




I also added these 2 poufs because my kids sometimes like to come in and watch Christmas movies with us. Again, more blankets add to the coziness factor.




Other sources from this room include:



I hope you got some inspiration and ideas from this post today!

Even adding a few little holiday touches like these can make such a difference in how a room "feels"

~easy DIY marbleized clay ornaments~

I love adding home made items into our decor. If you do too and are looking for a simple ornament project, you'll have to try this. These are easy enough for kids to make too!



SUPPLIES

nail polish in your choice of colors

DIRECTIONS

Roll out your clay onto a clean smooth surface.
Make sure it is the same thickness all over, this will help to ensure your project will dry evenly.

Cut out your shapes, just like you would cut cookies out. 
Hint: if your having trouble with your cookie cutter sticking to the clay, run your cookie cutter through hot water first, then stamp.



Pick up your shape with a spatula or knife but gently loosening it from you surface. If you have any imperfections you can smooth those out with your fingers and warm water.

Place them on a paper plate, wax paper, or other material to dry. 
{I like using a wire rack to ensure they dry evenly}

Using a straw, punch a hole in one side. This will be where you will hang your ornament from with your twine or ribbon.



Let dry. I let mine dry overnight.



MARBLEIZING

Fill a bowl about 1/2 full with water and randomly add 2 colors of nail polish. I chose black and white for mine to go with our decor this year.
Gently swirl it with a straw or toothpick.



Quickly dip in your dried ornament, completely covering it, or half of it, whichever you prefer. 
Hang to dry.
{I got about 11 ornaments decorated with 2 bottles of nail polish}



When they are dry you can hang them from your tree, add them to packages for a fun alternative topper, turn them into napkin rings, etc.



Have fun making these, and have a great Thanksgiving!

~our simple cozy holiday family room~

I had so much fun decorating this room this year because we have new furniture, which means things are a bit different in here.

If you remember back, I talked about getting this sofa and these recliners.
So happy we did. It's a win win for the whole family. My husband and son each have their own recliners which face the tv {important stuff here!} and I have a whole couch to myself most of the time!








On the other side of the room is this tree that I found at HomeGoods this year. It's pre lit which I love and looks very realistic!





Shop this post!

{color is sugarshack ivory}
{in statesville mollasses}

Bowl on coffee table, misc. decor books, candle, blanket on couch, Christmas tree, misc. ornaments, wrapping paper, basket holding books under coffee table = all from HomeGoods.
