Hers...A Little More Christmas at the Beach

We aren't spending Christmas at the beach or the mountains this year.  As our children get older it's harder for them to come home and easier for us to go to them.  Last year we went to our daughter and son in law's in New Mexico and this year we will be with our new grandson in Tennessee!

I shared our porch here and our master bedroom here on the 2019 Holiday Tour of Homes hosted by 11 Magnolia Lane.  

Just a few more photos to share of the holidays at Lost Cay Cottage...

With Gratitude and the best Christmas wishes!

Christmas inspiration is everywhere! 

With most of my decorations packed up I'm trying really hard not to buy anything new.

Easier said than done!

I've been scouring social media for inspiration...here's what inspires me this year...

(None of the following photos are my own they are all from Pinterest.)

These are my own photos from Christmases past.  Looking back, they give me inspiration, too.

We are participating in this awesome holiday home tour which starts today, sponsored by Lynch Creek Farm and hosted by 11Magnolia Lane and Evolution of Style.
So many days of inspiration, don't miss a day! 
I can't wait to see it all myself!
With Gratitude,
Shand

Quarters One Christmas Tour: Upstairs

I don't usually decorate upstairs for the holidays but this year was an exception.  I fell in love with this sign on a blog last year and ordered it right away.  Well, not reading the fine print, the unpainted letters came in the mail and I had to paint and assemble...it took over a year to figure out how to do that...but I love the result.

It will stay up all year!

We have significantly reduced the number of bedrooms we have from 5 to 3.

For the two guests rooms, I chose winter and summer themes. 

I'm sharing the winter room today!

The second floor of this house really seems like an old farmhouse so it was easy to incorporate my latest style!

The curtains in this room are painters drop cloths from Amazon, they were 12$ each and they are 108-110" long...no sewing required!

I literally plopped a lampshade on top of this unattractive sconce and viola...a fixture to be proud of!

I'll be back this week for one last share! Hope you enjoy the best week of the year!

With Gratitude, Shand
