Christmas Home Tour 2019

December 22, 2019 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

The trees are trimmed, the gifts are wrapped, the treats are made and all the Hallmark movies have been watched multiple times. Since I have spent most of my time lounging and watching countdown to Christmas nonstop, I have to do one big home tour this year instead of room by room. Next year my friends, I will be more productive! Until then, let the tour begin.

We also made a video tour which you can check out here.

The Sunroom

Let’s start in the sunroom which is where I have spent the majority of my time this past month. Yes, you guessed it, this is where the movie watching occurs.

A few months ago, I switched out the carpet and the curtains. I like this look so much better than the blue that was in here. It wouldn’t be a lie if I told you I had Christmas in mind when I made the switch.

Look at this vintage light up Santa that my dear friend sent me this year. I am obsessed with him. I finished off this look with a mini flocked tree and a tea light candle in a decorative jar. This is my favorite vignette this year.

Moving on to the Family Room

Most of my decor remains the same from year to year. The only new addition is the tree skirt that I got on sale after Christmas last year from Magnolia Market.

Oops, I forgot…the skates are new to me this year as well.

Next we will head into the dining room.

I kept this room pretty much the same as last year. I did add the basket with greenery and red berries. I love my stamped spoons with the 12 Days of Christmas.

Next, we will head upstairs.

This is the sitting room off of our Master Bedroom. I love this little space. Notice the vintage stockings on the ladder. I picked these up on ETSY last year. They remind me off the ones my siblings and parents had when we were growing up.

When my son moved out, I redecorated his room. We added this vintage mantle that used to be at our island home. It’s not quite finished but I love it.

Here’s a quick peek into my youngest son’s room. It is so cute and festive.

I hope you enjoyed this quick tour into our home. Merry Christmas enjoy the Holiday Season.

Until Next Time,

How to Create a Cozy Fall Home Using Pops of Orange

October 22, 2017 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Today I am sharing my simple Fall Home Tour.  I say simple because I added only a few pops of orange to create a cozy fall home.  Last year I wanted to jump on the bandwagon and paint all of my Fall/Halloween decorations white and I am so happy that I didn’t do that.  I was thinking that my orange pumpkins were dated and they might be but the memories they hold outweigh the white pumpkin trend/phase any day… to me any ways!

So Welcome to my Fall Home Tour 2017 with pops of orange!

Fall Home Tour 2017

I think we will start in the Family Room.  I added orange pillows which really pop off of my grey sofa and leather chair.  I also added an orange and cream check throw.  A few pumpkins and a leafy garland and that’s it. Easy Peasy!

Decorating for Fall with my favorite faux pumpkin

This is my all time favorite Fall decoration.  I remember the day we bought it.  The older two boys were about 2 and 3 years old and each year I would let them choose a new decorations and they chose this pumpkin.  At night when it is lit, it is so pretty.

Fall Home Tour in the Kitchen

In the kitchen, I sprinkled some mini pumpkins in my potted plants to carry the orange theme through.

On the cooktop mantel, I used my youngest son’s toilet paper pumpkin he made back in preschool.  It’s another thing I pull out each year.  I also added a stuffed pumpkin to the wreath.

Fall Kitchen

If you look closely, you can see my cookbook is turned to a pumpkin page.  It is one of Nigella Lawson’s cookbooks. I love her books.  It’s like reading a good story.

Pumpkin Fairy nestled in a wreath

I tucked a pumpkins fairy into a wreath and added more mini pumpkins to my candlesticks.  Back in the day, I used to decorate a tree with orange lights and added all these mini pumpkins.  The tree is long gone and I almost donated the mini pumpkins to Goodwill but decided to scatter them around.  It was such a last minute and random idea but I love it!

Fall Kitchen Island at nighttime

(Here is a view of my kitchen Island at night.  Look in the back ground and you can see my favorite pumpkin lit up)

In the Dining Room, I added some gourds to my dough bowl and scattered more mini pumpkins around.

and some older and sentimental decorations…

Halloween witch and Five little pumpkins sitting on a fence

(Another preschool favorite…five little pumpkins sitting on a fence.)  It brings back such great memories.

So sometimes it’s nice  not be on trend.  I am glad I followed my instincts and kept all of my old Fall/Halloween decorations orange and stepped away for the white paint can!

Hope you enjoyed the tour.

Until Next Time,

Thrift Shop Thursday #27

April 28, 2016 By stylishrevamp 2 Comments

I am late again this week.  We have had a lot going on but things are starting to wind down a bit.  Now here we are again at another Thrift Shop Thursday #27. Some of my picks this week are not exactly from thrift shops but I did get some great deals.

Thrift Shop Finds

I found this adorable little mouse tea light holder in a small town on the Eastern Shore. We were actually at a Harry Potter Festival in the midst of a scavenger hunt when I stumble across this little tea light.

Metal Tea Light Holder

Even though I am scared to death of mice, I still think this is a cute tea light. At first, I was superstitious about decorating with it.  I kept thinking, the minute I add it to my bookshelf, we are going to get mice. I don’t know why, but that is the way my brain works.

I like picking up little things like this to add to my home, something unique that adds a bit of whimsy! With a male dominate household, a girl needs a bit of whimsy!

Next, I picked up this lantern at HomeGoods several months ago. I knew that I wanted to add it to my sunroom for a casual “beachy” feel.

Lantern from HomeGoods

The wood on the lantern reminds me of driftwood. I like that it doesn’t look like something that I just picked up. It looks as if it has been well loved over time.  It has a weather look to it and you know I love driftwood,  you can see some of my projects here, here and here. I think it fits into my sunroom perfectly.

Remember last week when I was talking about my poinsettias?

 Well, they are still alive, although one is looking a little droopy.  I think it needs to be in a place in my home that does not get as much sunlight.  Well, last week I mentioned that I had picked up a silver ice bucket and I wanted to share that with you.

Silver Ice Bucket from GoodWill

This is such a nice, thick and solid silver ice bucket.  I picked it up for a dollar. Yes, it was a dollar, one, $1 dollar.  I have seen similar items like this at PotteryBarn ranging from $79-$89.  So for a dollar, I am using it for a planter. I will let you know if this baby survives until Christmas which is only 8 months away!

Lastly, I am sharing my tobacco baskets.  Love, love love these baskets.  I have searched for these at every antique, thrift, and  consignment shop I have come across with no luck. ZERO! ZIP! ZILCH!

Decorating with Tobacco Baskets

I was finally able to pick these up from Decor Steals.  If you are not familiar with this site you need to check it out.  I have bought a few things from them and have been happy with all of my purchases. Basically,  at 10 a.m. Eastern time, they offer a deal of the day. The items are about 80% off retail prices, they sell fast, and each day is different.

As for the pig, we have had him for so long, I can’t remember where he came from, it’s like he has always been here!

I feel like when I go thrift shopping, if I have in mind what I want, I never find it!

Built-ins and decorating

 I have been looking for something, anything for the top shelf of this built-in for such a long time. I decorate it for Christmas and the Autumn season but the rest of the time, I struggle.  If you all have any ideas let me know.  Until then I will keep searching all my favorite thrift shops!

Have a great weekend.

Until Next Time,
