Farmhouse Holiday Series - Gift Wrapping


One thing that I love doing each year is wrapping presents to coordinate with different rooms in our house. It's an easy and inexpensive way to add some decor and something I need to do anyway so it is nice being able to display them instead of finding a closet to stash them away in. (I will admit, though, I have definitely been known to wrap a few empty boxes too to add to the stash - ha, but that works out okay as well because I can use them for several years.) For this post we are excited to be partnering with our sponsor, Minted. 

One of my favorite ways to wrap a gift it to do wrap the gift with a pretty gift wrap and then use 2-3 ribbons in different sizes and textures and then add an ornament for the finishing touch. It is simple yet still elegant and adds a personalized touch. And one way to get quite a few ornaments  without spending much money is to buy a garland and then use each ornament individually. For instance I found these wooden stars on a garland with 12 of them. I just cut each one free and then used one on each gift. 


For our entryway I wrapped some gifts in this Mandalalala Wrapping Paper  then added a cream ribbon from my stash and then this beautiful Navy Velvet Ribbon and this Linen Shimmer Ribbon for the finishing touch. I loved the pattern on the paper and the luxerious finishes on the ribbon!




For our formal living room I used this beautiful Vintage Glass Ornament Paper  with some cream ribbon I already had and then used the Cement Shimmer Ribbon for a mix of texture. I added some ornaments from Joss and Main and a bit of fresh greenery from outside to finish it off.





Then in our master bedroom I used this adorable Antoillie Wrapping Paper and some more of the Linen Shimmer Ribbon. I love that this paper has both a rustic yet still whimsical feel to it!



And the last space I added gifts to in our new home was our kitchen. In here I went with a  Watercolor Gingham Wrapping Paper and mixed both the Cement Shimmer Ribbon and the Stone Shimmer Ribbon.


Minted has so many gorgeous gift wrap options and so many unique ones that can't be found anywhere else which I love! They even have customizable options! And they have so many beautiful ribbons and tags to add the finishing touch!

Farmhouse Holiday Series - Our Christmas Family Room


Happy Tuesday! I can't believe Thanksgiving is just two days away! November has completely flown by! Today we are joining our blogging friends for the Family Room part of our Holiday Farmhouse Series! We shared some photos of ours last week (don't forget there's still time to enter the ScentsCicles $3000 Dream Tree Giveaway!) but today we are back with more images of this room from a few more angles.

We stuck with the same gold, cream and chocolate colored theme that we have in here the last several Christmases. I like the traditional feel it has and we can use all of the items we already own and just mix things up a little bit. In fact, I'm pretty certain there's not one single item in here that we bought for this Christmas.







We used a bunch of feathers as our tree topper this year:








And here are some night time pictures of this room. Oh how I love candles and twinkling Christmas lights!

Farmhouse Holiday Series - Our Christmas Dining Room and a $100 HomeGoods Gift Card Giveaway


I hope you all are having a great week so far! We are excited to be back with lots of our favorite blogging friends for the second Christmas installment of the Farmhouse Holiday Series! This week we are sharing our dining rooms! And for this post we partnered with HomeGoods and you have a chance to win a $100 gift card (you can enter at the bottom of this post).


This year we decided to stick with a soft white and gold color scheme with lot of greenery thrown in. On our sideboard we found this tall white cone covered with white beads at HomeGoods and then added a faux wreath that we've had for several years (it was from a local store that is now closed, unfortunately). We added some pretty gold ornaments to the wreath for a simple touch. Then we added a yummy vanilla cake that we topped with some fresh seeded eucalyptus and some miniature gold ornaments and set it on a milk glass cake stand we found at HomeGoods as well.






For the table setting we mixed some gold chargers, beautiful gold plates and fun Merry and Bright plates all from HomeGoods with some of our existing white beaded plates. I love mixing and matching plates!

I also love these gold dotted plates and ornaments that we found at Homegoods as well.





Our Silent Night Painted Wood Sign will be available in our shop tomorrow morning at 10 EST!
