my little bedroom sanctuary is dressed for the holidays

My bedroom is one of my very favorite rooms in our little house.

It is calming retreat

that functions as  a

 a luxurious sanctuary

and 

it's dressed for the holidays!

I saw the very delightful 

Faux Fuchsia's tree going up weeks ago on instagram

 I knew then I just had to get my bedroom tree up

and

 my little room dressed for the season of celebrations!

My room is always dressed in layers and layers of textures

and pillows.

As a matter of fact

my bed has 18 pillows in total

although they are hard to see here...

they enable my bed to function much like a 

chaise you can sink right into

but they remain hidden behind my large knit pillows

so as not to be visually distracting.

I love the luxury of comfort and soothing textures

with a calm neutral pallet.

In dressing my room

I have simply sprinkled a few sparkly lovelies  around.

Just enough to add a 

little holiday delight.

Candles are also a mainstay in my bedroom

all year long.

It is my 

bedroom Christmas tree

that makes me so happy

all season long

it greets me in the morning

and

 just as happily at the end of the day.

I know there is even more debate this year about decorating too early

but I couldn't be happier that my bedroom tree 

has been up for weeks.

I got it up early

without any holiday stress

with plenty of time to marvel in the process 

and

 lovingly place ...

all of my cherished memories onto my pre lit tree

with carols and candle light in the back ground

it was a soulful endeavor

with none of the hurry to 

get putting up my tree

merely

 checked off my to do list.

Now when I look at my tree

I not only see it's overall beauty

and

the  cherished memories of the individual ornaments

I remember the beauty in the process

I am reminded of the importance for me

to slow down

and cherish the journey.

To scale back and simplify

so that 

I can have time to savor and enjoy.

So I have revised my holiday to do list

and

  I have picked only three projects that I would like to complete

after the remainder of my decorating is calmly finished this weekend

I have put them in order ...

1. I want to finish my holiday brooche necklace 

2. Make candles.  I can't tell you how many years this has been on my list.

and how many years we have gathered supplies 

only never to get to it.

I do know it has been so long ago I was still 

homeschooling my children :))

This year I am setting aside a day to finally do this

because

I know it will make my heart happy.

3. Make bread dough ornaments and tags.  My pinterest Christmas board has been collecting

this idea for quite some time.

I would enjoy getting to this one.

That is the extent of my crafting list this year.

I have my decorating list tightened up.

I have list of a few things to add to my garden 

to make it sing a little for the holidays.

Gifting is on schedule

So as I delight in my 

little sanctuary 

dressed for the holidays

I am reminded

 to savor and enjoy

this holiday season.

as always dear friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life

and

Savor and enjoy your 

Holiday Season
