How I Found My Style Sundays- Christmas Edition- The Comforts of Home
I was thrilled when Pamela asked me to participate in a special holiday edition of "How I Found My Style Sundays". This time we are focusing on our holiday style.
Pamela asked me to answer 4 questions.
What is my Christmas decorating style?
My Christmas decorating style is pretty mid west traditional with a little French Country thrown in. I grew up on a lake in Michigan. We usually had snow at Christmas time and the lake was frozen over. So sleds and ice skates were strewn around and blended right into the Christmas decorations.
Today I use vintage ice skates in my holiday decorations. I would love to use a sled outside by the front door, but then I would have to find a place to store it the rest of the year, lol.

Farmhouse Christmas Vignette
I hope that everybody had a very joyous and blessed Christmas day! Our blessings included the in-loves being here to share in the festivities with us. Before they arrived I completed last minute fluffing and was able to finally snap pictures of the rest of our holiday decor.
Come along with me as I share with you the hallway into our guest bedroom.

How I Found My Style Sundays- Christmas Edition- Far Above Rubies
I was so excited when Pamela asked me to be part of the Christmas edition of this series because I love Christmas and Christmas decorating.
Since I was a child I have looked forward each year to the Christmas season with such anticipation, and I think that is what drives my style. My style -- is pure vintage Americana with little sprinkles of European thrown in here and there. I'm very passionate about supporting American made products -- old and new -- and prefer an old rusty original to a cheap foreign-made copy.

Christmas Mantel 2014 & Blog Hop
Today I am so excited to be sharing the first of our holiday decor with you all, our Christmas mantel. To make it even better I am sharing our mantel along with 10 other lovely ladies. Each have their own unique Christmas decorating style so there will be plenty of inspiration to go around. I will include a peek of their mantels at the end of my post.
For our mantel I decided to carry on my French Farmhouse style but added some vintage touches as well. |
I used a similar frame to last years for the mantel focal point. |

How I Found My Style Sundays Christmas Edition- Junk Chic Cottage
Hi Everyone. I was asked by sweet Pamela to come by and share some of my Christmas Decorating with all of you.
I have had the great pleasure to be featured on her "How I found my Style Sundays" Home Edition a while ago and it was super fun.
So when Pamela asked if I would like to do the Christmas Edition of "How I found my Style Sunday" I was excited to be asked and said yes!
I would also like to thank my friend Stacey from Cottage Industry for coming by and taking the pretty pictures of my Christmas decor. She has a very fancy camera, great lens and beautiful eye to catch the decor at it's prettiest. Thank you Stacey for helping me out with some of the pictures. It was fun to get together and catch up.

So here it goes. I will show you some of my Christmas decor for this season and mix pictures and answers to Pamela's questions.
My Christmas Decorating Style is.....
My home is a mix of chippy cottage french farmhouse that is normally a pretty neutral palette of whites and tans.
This year for my decor I decided to add in some red to brighten and give it a Nordic Farmhouse feel.
Every year I try to do a different decor theme with what I already have and just add some touches or change things up to get a new look from previous years. It keeps it fun and new for me each year.

How I Found My Style Sundays- Everyday Living
As new bloggers (only three and a half months!), we are honored to share on Pamela's amazing series "How I Found My Style Sundays"! Pamela, thank you so much for this opportunity to meet new friends. My husband, Butch and I would like to invite you to come and visit with us at www.everydayliving.me.
Blessings, Pam
Decorating has always been a part of my life, beginning as a ten year old. When Butch and I married, I went in to full decorating mode. He was so patient, never knowing what he might find or how I may have re-decorated when he came home from work each day! The next thing I knew, friends and family were asking if I could help them decorate a room or solve a dilemma. In late 1996, God opened a door of opportunity that changed everything–I was officially “hired” to decorate an entire house! From that one job, a new career began! Now eighteen years later, I look back and am overwhelmed with God’s goodness in allowing me to follow a dream.
To quote Oscar de la Renta, "Style is more about being yourself".
As an interior decorator, my clients' personal styles have ranged from English Country to Southern Traditional to Country French to Eclectic, and many that didn't know what they liked. I have enjoyed the challenge of helping clients to embrace being themselves and not just 'give in' to the latest decorating trends. My personal style has evolved over time and I would classify myself somewhere between Country French and English Country. My preference is warm colors that invite you to sit down and visit!

How I Found My Style Sundays- Golden Boys & Me
Hi there! I am Courtney from Golden Boys and Me and I am so happy to be here today! A huge thank you to Pamela for including me in this wonderful series. I feel honored that Pamela asked me here because I am pretty much an accidental blogger. About a year and a half ago, I shared some pictures of our master bathroom renovation on my tiny scrapbook of a blog where I journal about my life with my husband, Billy, our 3 boys (ages 16, 13, & 9) and 2 golden retrievers. I have learned so much through our journey of remodeling 3 homes in NJ and today I am going to talk a bit about how I found my style.
