Holly Tree Decorated for Christmas with Red and White Lights

My favorite Holly Tree.

Christmas Outdoor Lights

 Outdoor Christmas Decoration

We used red and white lights on the trees, garland around the porches and wreaths on all the windows and front door.

Outdoor Fireplace

I love how the fireplace and patio area turned out.  I used clipping and inserted them into the dirt in the pots.  I used magnolia branches, pine, and boxwoods.

As you can see, this is my favorite time of year!

Christmas Home Tour

December 8, 2013 By stylishrevamp 6 Comments

Welcome to our Christmas Home Tour.  Sit back with a warm drink and enjoy some of our favorite Holiday decorations.  I love pulling these decorations out year after year.  It brings back such lovely memories of Christmas past.  We also try to add a few new touches along with some favorite vintage finds. I hope you all enjoy!

Christmas Decor

This is our family room tree.  We go each year to a farm and choose the largest tree we can find.  This is where Santa leaves all the gifts.

The view from upstairs… I like watching the boys look over the banister on Christmas morning!

We leave cookies and milk for Santa on this fireplace Hearth.

Vintage Sled  With with Flocked Tree Branches

This is a vintage sled that my husband and I bought before we were married.  I just spruced it up with  some pine branches and ribbon and sprayed everything with a light dusting of snow.

Vintage Shiny Brite Christmas Ornaments

I like to use some of my favorite vintage finds on the Family room Christmas tree like these Shiny Brite ornaments! I love finding vintage Holiday decorations.  I also have the milk glass light bulbs that I will show you in a later post.  They are one of my favorite Christmas items.

Next up is my foyer.

Banister decked out for Christmas

I put  garland around the front stairs.  I also add snowmen on each step.  I got this idea from a dear friend that uses Nutcrackers.  Thanks Debbie for the great idea!

Large Pinecone Christmas Decor

This is the mirror by my front door.  I add the large pinecone every year.  I like the simplicity of it.

Wooden Santas

My tech guy Gman  made the snowman in art class and my Best Friend gave me the lovely Santa for Christmas last year!

Vintage Christmas Plate

When my oldest two boys were younger, I would let them pick pick out a special Christmas decoration. My youngest still carries on this tradition.  This Santa is something my middle son picked out.  I added the vintage plate above in the alcove and the garland with winterberry.

Fall/Halloween Decor

October 8, 2013 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

We have finally finished our interior decorating for Fall/Halloween. I love digging through the decorations that I have saved from year to year.  It brings back memories of when all the boys were little. The decoration are not fancy but they are special.  Most of them were picked out by the boys when they were still being pushed around in the stroller.  I remember when my oldest was just a tiny little thing and he did not speak for the longest time but every morning when he came down and I sat him in his highchair for breakfast he would use sign language for light which meant he wanted me to turn on the Halloween Village lights that I had sitting on the kitchen counter.  I still pull that village out every year and he is a Freshman in College.  So here are a few of my Fall/Halloween decorations that we enjoy from year to year.

pumpkin

I love this pumpkin.  It has such a pretty glow but my favorite thing in this photo is a picture of my two oldest out trick or treating with me and my dad (which you can see in the corner of this photo). Love it!!

Halloween Tree

This is my Halloween Tree that we decorate every year.  If you look close enough you can see the pumpkin at the base of the tree that my youngest made when he was in preschool.  He is now in 4th grade (he is my tech guy that I refer to in my blog)

Fall Halloween Mantle

This is my fall mantel that I showed you here (where you can learn how to make the chalkboard banner).  So some old favorites mixed in with some new DIY decorations.

Halloween Decor

Remember the flea market that I mentioned here?  Well I found this…

Thrift Shop FInd

And turned it into this…

Cloche Decorated for Fall

and then this…

Cloche for Halloween Decorating

This is one of the Village pieces I was talking about earlier…not the fanciest but so special to me!

 Up next will be the exterior of the house.  I like to do the pretty Fall decorating but I promised my youngest that we could do “scary” outside this year.  I guess Fall flowers and pumpkins do not count for scary

Bedroom Tour

September 4, 2013 By stylishrevamp 1 Comment

We made a quick trip to the island home this weekend and did some work on one of the bedrooms. It is still a work in progress but we have come a long way. This is where we are now:

Nautical Accents in Boys Bedroom

On this trip, we painted the dresser with Annie Sloan Chalk paint Emperor’s Silk.  It used to look like this:

Oak Chest   now this…

Red Chalk Paint Dresser

I have to say that was a quick an easy process.  I like the pop of color and I don’t have to hear my youngest say that I paint EVERYTHING white!

We also painted the two stools at the foot of the bed.  We used the Nautical Signs.  I think it looks cute. Again, adding more color!

DIY Painted Nautical Letter Painted Stools from Target

They used to look like this:

Stool From Target

We just taped off the nautical signs… same process as we used here.

I am still reworking the accessories.  You can probably tell I keep switching out the mirrors.  Once I have more time at the house I will finish off the room.  I am just so, so , so excited to be rid of the blue floral wall paper.  I cannot even explain the amount of wallpaper this house had when we bought it and pictures DO NOT even come close to showing you how it really looked.  All I know is that I will never ever use wall paper…ever!

So this is what it used to look like…..

and now it is looking like this:

Kitchen Tour

White Kitchen Renovation

We have been working on the kitchen.  When we first went to view the home, the kitchen had formica counter tops and pickled oak cabinets.  It was very well maintained but just seemed so outdated to me and I couldn’t wait to get started on the kitchen revamp.  Here is what we have done so far.

The first thing we did was paint the cabinets a bright white. The small island was painted grey. The main counters are done in  photo-4 copy 24

The island is done in Silestone Tao.  I liked the contrast between the main counetertops and the island.

photo-4 copy 30   photo-4 copy 39

We would still like to add a subway tile backsplash and I need to add some accent pieces.  So far I am very, very happy with the way it has turned out.

This is what it looked like when we went to view the home (I got the photos from the real estate brochure).

So after seeing this, I still wanted this house. I dreamed about this house for months after we went to see it.  I knew one day it could look like this:

White Kitchen with Farm Table

And I love it…It is one of my most favorite places to be and I am always sad when it is time to leave!

Living Room

August 8, 2013 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

This is what the living room looked like when we went to view the home.  I got this picture from the real estate brochure.

before family room redo

I fell in love with this home but knew that I wanted something that was lighter and brighter.  I wanted it to feel more like a cottage on the water. So this is what I came up with so far.

family room in shades of blue and white

First, we took down the heavy drapes. I replaced them with burlap panels which are very casual.  Then we  painted the walls a light blue. It makes it look like the room extends out to the water.

antique fireplace surround                        family room in blues and whites

We found this fireplace surround at the same place that I found the desk which you can find here. I love it. It reminds me of the one in my grandmother’s home.  It took us forever to strip the  seven layers of paint off of it. We also replaced the mirror.

goodwill revamped end table

This is a goodwill table that I sprayed white.  The table cost $15. I placed a basket underneath it with all of our blankets for getting cozy during storms and for movie nights.

This room is so light and airy.  I hope you like it as much as I do.
