Deck the Halls

Deck the Halls Stairwell…

Our stairwell (and office) are the last two “to-do” rooms we still have on our list. I have a fantastic idea for our stairs and we plan on doing that after that holiday’s!

{I say that as a warning before you see the pictures with such plain walls and all}

I have had some beautiful plum accessories for about two years now and we decided this year to add them to the top of our stairwell since they don’t exactly match our Christmas style downstairs. (I like a unified theme since we have such an open floor plan downstairs).

Here’s the before…

 

And with the quick adjustment, here’s the after…

 

The Details…

 

– The plum candles were a Christmas gift from my mom two years ago,
–  The two glass plum trees Kevin and I got on sale when we were dating,

– The long wooden candle holder I have had forever

–  The two ornament kissing balls we had last year (we hung them up last year). This time we added them to an upside down glass candle holder.

Easy and Free since we already had everything!

What spaces did you spruce up for the holiday using things in a new way that you already had? Do Tell!

Psss.. We have tons of other posts in our 12 Days of Christmas Series. Speaking of that, we missed a few days {long story} but we did… so we will add them… we promise!

  • ☀️ Sea + Sun + Smiles We drove across the state last week for a vacay with family! Had a great time and I was so in the moment, I only took a few photos! We had incredible weather and basically lived our best lives all day on the beach and in the pool together! . . I have had a few messages asking where I have been on insta…. The truth is, I have been soaking up time with my kids, working on a few home updates and spending as much time at the beach and in our pool
