The Nester Christmas Tour of Homes

The Nester Christmas Tour

Hello!  Welcome to the Stafford Christmas Home!  I am excited to share our home with all of you.  I love the Christmas season and all the decorations I have in our home.  We only have one tree, but I do have Christmas decor throughout our home.  Our color theme is Red and Orange and I just LOVE IT!  So step inside our front door and take a look...

I have had a few questions on where I got our Christmas Decorations throughout our home and most of our decor came from local boutiques in NWA.  If you live here or plan to visit some day here are the stores:

Perfect Choice

Sign Sealed and Delivered

Purple Armadillo

Hobby Lobby

Pottery Barn

I hope you enjoyed my Christmas Tour!  Don't forget to stop by the rest of the homes at The Nester Christmas Tour!

My Bathrooms - Show Us Where You Live

It is another week of Show Us Where You Live Friday by Kelly's Korner. I just love looking at the tours each week. Enjoy my bathrooms. We have changed each bathroom since we moved into our home 3 years ago. The first thing we changed was the mirrors. Each bath room had the full length standard mirrors and I do not care for them. So we removed the glass and we bought frames at Hobby Lobby for each bathroom. If you decide to do this in your own bathroom a few tips. One tape the glass before removing it from the wall. If you do this than all the glass will stay in one piece. Second wait until Hobby Lobby has their 1/2 off sale and you can get two mirrors for the price of one. I would say that adding mirrors really warmed up the bathrooms and made it more personalized.

We have 2 full bathrooms and a 1/2 bath!

Here is a picture of our 1/2 bath. This is the room that I mentioned in this post as I want to wallpaper this room. Go check out the post and tell me what you think. Right now I am thinking that we might be wallpapering one wall and than painting the rest of the room an accent color. Once we complete I will be sure to post pictures.

This picture is of our first full bathroom. Our paint color is a dark chocolate with a glaze that we rubbed on with a wash cloth. It is easy to do and looks great! The shower curtain is from Linens N Things. When we have guests this is their bathroom, however this is the bathroom that Chad uses daily.

In this bathroom we have two sicks which is great for guests and some day for our kids.

Our final bathroom is our Master Bathroom! Our master bathroom wall color is a burnt orange with a glaze that we rubbed on the wall with a wash cloth. The room colors tie together with our master bedroom decor. I look forward to showing you my master bedroom, it is my favorite room in our house!

The below pictures are my two favorite things in my bathroom. I got the turquoise tray on Etsy and the glass bottles at Perfect Choice. The pictures I got at Hobby Lobby and I just love them. I also had Chad add a chandelier over my bathtub!

I hope you enjoyed viewing my bathrooms. Don't forget to stop by the other bathroom tours at Kelly's Korner.

MY KITCHEN - SHOW US EVENT BY KELLY

First I will start by telling everyone that Kelly from Kelly's Korner is running a series called Show Us Where You Live. Today is the Kitchen Edition! So I am going to take you on a small tour of my kitchen. I hope you in enjoy!

This picture is looking into my kitchen from the Breakfast Room. I just received the flowers from Chad this week, so that is why I have fresh flowers on the bar. I love our bar stools!

I just love kitchens, it is the gathering place for all family and friends. I love my kitchen cabinets and the glass bottles I have above the cabinets. The only thing I would change in my kitchen is to have a big island and a double oven.

In this picture I am standing in the kitchen and you can see my kitchen is very open and it opens into the breakfast area where we sit to have dinner, as well as, the living room!

This final picture I am standing in the living room and you can see the bar eating area as well as the breakfast area. I just love the hanging flower holders that we received as a wedding gift from our neighbors Nick and Cindy.

I love our kitchen and all the decor! What do you love?
