Christmas 2018 Home Tour


I am very humbled to be in the company of Less than Perfect Life of Bliss, Amy at 11Magnolia Lane, and Evolution of Style for the finale of the 12 Days of Holiday Homes Tour hosted by 11Magnolia Lane and Evolution of Style, sponsored by Lynch Creek Farm

If you've never been to Quarters One before, welcome! I've spent the past 7 years blogging about our military quarters 
(hence the  name) 
and our life in the Army.  
We retired in June and are currently residing by the sea in a little place we call Lost Cay Cottage.


We have a great open floor plan. My colors are pretty neutral but this season I've splashed it with some red, my favorite color.


Because all of our Christmas decorations are in storage, I decided a little would have to go a long way this year.


I had an oyster shell wreath that came apart and so now it is an oyster shell garland. You'll see that I am crazy about oyster shells, they give me so much inspiration!







I just love red, gray, and white this season.



The truth is, this is how our sofa usually looks.


My besties at Gatherings at 3 Thirteen in Manhattan, KS sent this lovely red fabric for pillows!








We don't have a tree because we are going to be celebrating Christmas day somewhere else.  It would be undecorated anyway because of our tradition of not decorating the tree when one of our family members is deployed. 




Please come back and I'll show you how I set our table for a casual beach cottage Christmas lunch!

Before you leave, visit our front porch here and see how I used the beautiful wreath courtesy of Lynch Creek Farm.  It makes me so happy to look at it! 
 With Gratitude, Shand

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
