Winter Inspiration :: A Christmas Palate Cleanser

December 8, 2015 · In: DIY, Eat, Fashion

White + Emerald Place Setting :: House of Valentina

Maybe you are like a kid at Christmas (I  know I am!) and you listen to Christmas music on the sly in July, but even the most spirited among us need a break every now and then from all the hype… or at least I do.  There are plenty of choices in most of our homes for escapes, like the basement storage closet, or the guest bathroom, but if you really want a retreat from all the holiday activity, the Master Bedroom is an ideal candidate.  Where better is there to cozy up during the winter months that our own bed with a few candles lit, a reading light, and a stack of books and magazines?  You’ll find me there, hibernating, until at least March!

We talked yesterday about some of the questions you might want to consider before diving into your own Winterization process, so today we are going to chat about the digital Story Board.   By compiling your favorite images, whether on Pinterest, Tumblr or Instagram, you can really get a sense for what you want from your space.  Here are some things to consider as you decide which images should stay in your Story Board:

  1. What colors appeal to me the most right now?
  2. What textures am I drawn to?
  3. What about this photo inspires me?  Is it the color? the atmosphere?  the style?

I am sharing my personal Winter Master Bedroom Story Board with you below and I will share along the way why I included these images!

Emerald Fur Coat :: House of Valentina

This Emerald Fur because I love the warmth, the texture, & color!  (similar here and here)

Guys!! I’m so happy right now I’m about to cry! The cuteness factor is off the charts!! I’m so excited to see our vision for our fall porch come together complete with pumpkins from the pumpkin patch!! 

And can we talk about Louis in his adorable fall sweater?! And the wreaths (they are faux!!!) and the lanterns and the flickering pumpkins?!!! 

If you could die from cuteness overload I’d be a goner! Hahaha but thankfully it looks like I’ll be holding on for a few more days and greeting our kids as they come home for fall here and it won’t be long and this will be getting a little Halloween overlay for trick or treaters! 

To me, these are the greatest moments of life. Creating a home that says “welcome home!” I hope in our own little way we can inspire you as well! As always, sending so much love from our home to yours! XxV
