This year I was asked to partake in Del Mar’s Home for the Holidays Design Challenge! Del Mar sent me and 4 other bloggers a lamp from their site. I received Annaleigh by Kichler and was ask to design my entry way in the holiday spirit featuring this lamp.
Due to the colorful nature of my home I don’t tend to decorate in the typical green/red/gold holiday color story. For this spread though I did decide to inject little peeks of it.
Here is my take on a holiday entry way:
Now lets break it down. Since my lamp was almost 28″ high I wanted to make sure my decor wasn’t only on the entry way table, but went up on the wall.
Enter a boxwood wreath that was found at Trader Joe’s for only $10! I used some striped fabric to hang it.
Typically I have an ikat skirted bench underneath my DIY grasscloth covered console,but in order to inject a little holiday green into the space I swapped it out with my emerald painted trunk complete with a leopard cushion we added a while back to provide extra seating.
For the main area I decided to break the space into 3 different sections. My lamp and storage section, a floral centerpiece and a little injection of something different with my blue and white ginger jars.

{Love who the pattern in the lamp even reminds me of snowflakes and works perfectly with a wintery entry way, but will also look great year round.}
Close up of floral centerpiece:
{ I went with a candy cane inspired color story and even added little teeny tiny silver ball ornaments.}
I’m really happy with how the whole project turned out. It’s been quite the crowd favorite with visitors. Everyone has loved it!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
