A Collection of Easy DIY's for a Gold and White Christmas

First a disclaimer: I didn't do any of these crafts myself, but given the popularity of gold and white, I thought these ideas would be an easy way to get the look for anyone!

I love to decorate with bare branches. Year round.  The textural contrast  between the branches and the ornaments works perfectly.

You can also glam up your branches with a little gold spray paint.  I can think of a million places to use these.

It doesn't get much easier than this.  Grab a few gold and/or white ornaments and put them on a cake stand or in a bowl. Done and done.

White candles, gold glitter, gold candle holders.

What I'm Working On Now

Hello, my name is Kim and I used to blog here on a regular basis.  Not so much lately.  Here's the thing.  I've been blessed with a pretty heavy workload.  And that's great because when I get up in the morning I can't wait to get to work.  How man people are lucky enough to say that?!?

Want to see one of the things  I'm working on?

This is the initial mock up for the "Sophisticated Beachy" dining room my client requested.  It's for a sweet young family with three of the cutest little girls I've ever seen.

So some of the selections shown above have been modified to suit my client's taste, but overall the dining room will have the same feel.

One of the things we revised was the wall treatment.  Being the smart and stylish gal she is my client requested plank walls - which of course works perfectly with what we've got going on.  And guess what - they're done!

We painted the planks Benjamin Moore's Moonlight White. It's the same color as my family room and I love it because it's clean and it's warm without looking yellow.

Also in the mix is this vintage Drexel Heritage set we scouted that is currently getting refreshed with a little paint and some crisp new fabric.  I love this because you know it warms my heart to add in some good vintage furniture.

And I don't want to spill the beans but there could be navy velvet with white piping involved.  I think it's going to be real good so stay tuned for further updates. 

In other news, I have continued to stock my online storefront over at Hunter's Alley. 

 This is my my most recent addition.

A set of 6 vintage glasses that I adore.  They're already in somebody's cart but they're still up for grabs until checkout is finalized!

And there's more, but we'll leave that for another day.  So now that you're all caught up, tell me what's new with you!

White Walls with Antique Rugs

It's my latest obsession.  Crisp white walls combined with intricately patterned old rugs.  Does the mix get any better than this?  I think not.

The timeworn, faded quality of the antique rug takes just enough edge off, don't you think?

Antique rugs also look superb in white kitchens, adding some warmth to all the slick surfaces.

Even in a bathroom, an old Persian rug adds warmth and texture (although I don't know how practical it is placed so closely to the tub.)

White Done Right!

I am one of those people who loves color!  Normally, it makes me feel happy and energized, but with the oppressive heat (already) here in the south, I find myself drawn to clean, breezy, light spaces - mainly in the color white!

I totally get why people are so in love with an all-white palette!  It is serene, cooling and refreshing!

 The first ingredient to a successful all-white room is light!  The more natural light you have the better, as lots of natural light is what brings a white room to life!

Texture is important in a white room.  It takes the place of color, creating contrast to make the space engaging!

Mostly we think of modern spaces when we envision a white room, but that doesn't necessarily have to be so...

I love the look of a white room with small hits of a single vibrant color to shake things up a bit!

One of my favorite rooms of all time, by Gerrie Bremerman!  Perfect combination of natural light, texture and a small dose of  that incredible blush pink...perfection!
