A Christmas Dream

~ Christmas, Decorating, Holidays

 β€œI give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
and I will glorify your name forever.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭86:12‬ ‭

Have you started decorating for Christmas yet?  We are in the beginning stages here at the Richardson home, expecting to finish within the next week or so!  Christmas decorating can be so much fun, yet so overwhelming at the same time…because the possibilities are endless!  I love to walk into someone’s home and see their style incorporated in with the garland and tinsel!  But do you decorate your bedroom for the holiday?  It can be as simple as a new pillow or as over-the-top as the ones we will take a look at today!  

Do you remember my post “…A Long Winter’s Nap…” ?  It has been one of my most viewed posts, so apparently bedroom decorating for Christmas is pretty popular!  As I was looking around, I found a few more that are so cozy and festive…let’s take a peak!

But today, you’re in for a real treat!  We will re-visit the Caroline House to take a look at one of the most beautiful Christmas bedrooms I have ever seen!  All of the details, French furnishings, and flowers…oh my!  It is a Christmas dream!  Grab a cup of coffee, find a comfortable chair, and get ready for a visual feast!


Wow!!!… my first thought as I entered the master bedroom!

 
So many textures…which I love!

 
A rustic crΓ¨che sits on a small table next to a French chair! 

 
The fresh greenery and flowers canopied over the bed is rustic and romantic!

 Opposite the bed, fresh greenery is swagged from wall to wall!

 
Five slim trees fill the corner!  The chandelier is also dressed in greenery!

 
*
A beautiful painted chest and gold mirror are decked out for Christmas!  A porcelain nativity sits under the trees!


A silver tray is filled with vases of white roses!

The silk pillow with the appliquΓ©d nativity is the piece de resistance!


Chalk art welcomes you into the suite!

What about you…do you add Christmas to your bedroom?  Is it a simple pillow or do you go all out?

  1. Pam, every year my friends and I visit several holiday home tours. I have to say though that this bedroom is the prettiest I’ve seen! Everything about it is dreamy. Thanks for sharing. πŸ™‚

  2. Thank you Pam for the enlarged pictures. I also decorate my bedroom and if I’m having guest I decorate their bedroom but not to the extent this one is decorated. I probably wouldn’t be able to sleep it’s so pretty.

  3. Oh oh. You know how you see one idea in every post that sets you off and think “I have to do that?” That corner of with the trees. Now I just have to find a corner…

    I decorate about every square inch of my house. My friend says it look like Christmas threw up but tastefully. I have loved decorating for Christmas from the time I was born, I think. I remember doing it with my mom as a very little girl and I didn’t stop. And that includes the bedroom. I am a tree junkie. I have them everywhere, sometimes two or three to a room. Trouble with all this is that I have a very small house. So, I’m eager for it.

    I’m not sure where you are geographically but here in the States Thanksgiving is November 24, so I won’t do anything till the morning of the 25th. But then I will POWER through! Already I’m bringing up some things from the basement and stashing them in the guest room so I can start the morning fast! I can’t wait to see what you’ll do in your home and which of these terrific photos will provide you with the greatest inspiration.

    • Jeanie, I live in Alabama and we celebrate Thanksgiving in a big way at our house. I am doing some Christmas decorating before Thanksgiving, but most will be done starting on Friday! I hope you will post your Christmas decor, sounds beautiful!

  4. I’ve never decorated our bedrooms at Christmas. Maybe I’ll start this year. You’ve certainly inspired me with these beautiful ideas. Thursday blessings~

  5. Pam, that room is breathtaking… absolutely beautiful! I’m not hosting Thanksgiving this year. We are going to my parent’s house. So, I have been decorating for Christmas all week. I’ve never decorated my bedroom, but have thought about it. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration! Have a great day!!’

  6. The year we were doing a major remodeling project, all four of us were camping out in our master bedroom and adjacent home office, sharing one bathroom. We put the Christmas tree and stockings in the bedroom that year out of necessity, and it turned into a very memorable and cozy Christmas! Such gorgeous photos. Thanks for the ideas!

  7. Every room in my home (bedrooms included !) show my Christmas spirit . Each bedroom must have a nativity and a tree ( smaller scale) . The added fluff comes from linens,pillows,wreaths at the windows,candles and a spray on each window sill adorned with red satin ribbons .
    Your message today will have me decorating sooner than later . There is something special as I unwrap my treasures from year to year …
    The featured bedroom is heavenly . I search for antique Nativities , so I was taken with the rustic crèche on the table . The satin pillow is absolutely beautiful . I have never seen anything like it .
    I also noticed the silver cherubs on the garland . Angels and cherubs have a place in my home the entire year , but I do have some that visit only during the Christmas Season !
    Thank you for this lovely post . I’ll be thinking of you when I am decorating .

    • Christine, wow your home sounds gorgeous and Christmas must be stunning. I have collected nativities and they are my favorites, every room has one! I can imagine how beautiful your home is at Christmas! ~Blessings

  9. WOW! I can’t even imagine doing such. Years and years ago I did decorate the kids rooms and most every room of the house. But, I’ve grown weary of the putting up and taking down so I only do the living areas and dining table now. But, it is just stunning and I’d feel like a Queen to sleep in a room like that. Thanksgiving blessings!

  10. Obviously, this home has a very large bedroom. I set a globe nativity in my bedroom with some other small details to display Christmas. The bathrooms are decorated with special Christmas themed linens, and ornaments placed in bowls, etc. Even the soaps have a Christmas icon on them. The dining room is decorated with Christmas greenery, candles, potpourri and vintage statuary from my childhood. The kitchen is already red, white and blue, so it takes just a few Christmas containers on the window sill with colorful berries and a collection of tiny snowman to bring the spirit there. My living room is the most glamorous of all. The mantle is amass of candles, over the fireplace mirror is a garland of Christmas greenery with twinkling lights and cascades of frosted boughs hanging from it. The tree is decorated with mini twinkling lights, vintage ornaments from as long ago as my grandmother’s tree, ornaments from the WWII era, red birds, and ornaments to represent our Scots/Irish ancestry.- all making it a view of awesomeness. On a table just inside the foyer is a table set with a nativity representing the meaning and spirit of the true Christmas.

    Thank you for sharing these images with us. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving and a Joyous Christmas!

  17. This was lovely and inspirational. The sophisticated decor is pretty – and there are still touches of the “reason for the season”. That is my favorite part. This room speaks to my true style (even if it looks nothing like my actual house – haha). Thanks for sharing.

  18. How lovely to awaken each morning surrounded by all the beautiful natural greenery and wonderful scents, I should think that it would be difficult to leave such a pretty room and start the day’s activities.

  20. Yes Pam, I do decorate our bedroom. About 10 years ago I made a redwork quilt for our bed and I have not tired of it. It is all snowman themed so I leave it on until February. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous inspiration with SYC.
    hugs,

    • Thanks, Pinky! This was a Christmas tour last year that was done by a church in Birmingham. The church owns this house and members decorate the rooms. I think it is one of the prettiest bedrooms that I have seen decorated for Christmas.
