I have been so excited to decorate for Christmas, since this is our first time doing so here at Bluestone Hill. Last year, we moved the week before Christmas and all we did for decorating was set up a tiny fake tree that the girls covered in blindingly bright ornaments and our pretty, big farm stand tree which fell over not once, but twice, smashing at least half of my ornaments.
We are so excited to be joining our host Kristen, from Ella Claire and so many of our other favorite bloggers for the second week of our Farmhouse Holiday Series! We hope that you will enjoy over the next couple of months as we share glimpses into our homes throughout the fall and the holiday season.
When we moved in, the kitchen cabinets and all the trim in the family room were blue, and while I had always liked the bright, colorful look for Uncle Bob, it was too bold for our style. This was the first room we tackled, and after many weeks of painting every nap and bedtime (oh, back when both children napped a solid two hours every day!…it wasn’t so long ago and yet it seems like such a distant memory) all of the cabinets and trim were a nice, fresh white.
A couple of weeks ago we shared the new Deann Art canvas that we added to our dining room and today we are excited to share a new piece of hers that we added to Jamie and Josh’s entryway. We absolutely LOVE her work.
I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! We shared a few photos of Jamie and Josh’s new family room on Friday and today we thought we would share some more images of the space. I absolutely love how they have updated the space, yet still kept the blue tones that are so reminiscent of our Uncle Bob throughout the room.
One of the first projects my sister Jamie tackled when they moved into their new home this winter was painting all of the trim, beams and the kitchen cabinets. They were a brilliant blue color that worked wonderfully for our Uncle Bob’s style but were a little bold for Jamie and Josh’s style.
