Homekins // Buffalo Plaid & Holiday Decor

By 1 Comment

We love the way Stephanie Hanna incorporated our one of our favorite winter staples, buffalo plaid, into her home’s Christmas decor. Below she gives us a little insight and tour…

Decorating for the holidays is one of my favorite things to do. Bringing in a real tree and fresh greenery makes the entire house smell like a winter wonderland. The kids love it and get so excited to hang their stockings and decorate the tree. The colors I used this year are red, black, cream and gold. My inspiration was my tassel garland from GenWoo Craft. Her tassel garlands are like no other. She really nailed this festive color way. I loved adding the black ornaments and candles this year. It’s unexpected and dramatic. Red buffalo plaid made a debut in our Christmas decor offering that traditional holiday flair that everyone loves.

The stockings and pom pom wreath were my DIY projects this season. I bought plain stockings from Michaels and embellished them with pom poms, tassels and gold letters. The stocking holders were a fun Target dollar section find. For the wreath I bought a real wreath, wrapped it in lights, added red pom poms from Michaels and finished it off with a Merry Christmas banner. My home is definitely where my heart is and I hope you can find a little inspiration in it for yourself this holiday season.

I can hardly believe the holiday season is here which means that it’s almost time to decorate your home with Twinkle Lights, Snow Globes, Christmas Stockings, a Christmas Tree and other Holiday Decor. I love that there are so many options in Holiday Decor. I especially like all the unique and fun Christmas Stockings. My favorite Christmas Stockings for babiekins are woodland animals and ones with pom poms or tassels. With Christmas Stockings as cute as these, your babiekins will be as excited about their very special Stocking as they are about the treats inside it on Christmas morning.

Craftykins // July Fourth Garland

Babikeins Magazine // Craftykins Fourth of July
A few Christmases ago, we were with friends that always handmade all their own decorations. Together we ended up making a giant red, green and white paper chain that went around the entire room. From that moment on , I vowed to try and make holiday decor instead of purchasing them at a store . It cuts back on costs, storage space and is fun to make! Plus you have the added memories of making them. The Fourth of July in the US is upon us, and the girl’s and I came up with a super cute Red, White, and Blue Abstract Shape Garland. No need for perfect shapes, the fun is cutting out random squares and rectangles. A perfect project for your little ones. All you need is glue, string and construction paper. We also made a “crown” with some left over scraps that the girl’s took turns wearing. We enjoyed celebrating a little early in the girl’s room with our new super fun and colorful Independence Day decor! Happy Fourth of July!

With the holiday season in full swing you cannot get enough inspiration on how to decorate your home, right? I’m honored Babiekins asked me to share mine.

I’m all into a simple but sophisticated, warm Christmas. I love white, some black and gold for my decorations. This year I choose to combine white, black and gold with more natural items and add some greenery and marble. Normally we like to have a traditional Christmas tree, but living in Dubai made me look for an alternative: the printed- fabric “tree” from Ikea (www.ikea.com ) and the wooden branches (DIY). Which are both fun and simple alternatives. The fairy lights have been a staple in our home for a couple of years. This time, I choose to hang them as a cluster on the cabinet. The lights shining on old cabinet are great at night. They bring an extra glimmer to the room.

A marble vase holds a bunch of candles and can work beyond the holidays as a traditional vase. Just like the succulents balls, which are very festive in the combination with the little trees on the tray and candles. These also work great after the holidays to get the house a little bit more green.
I really like how the poms poms add a playful effect and some color to the simple wooden branch Christmas tree.

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” and I’m beginning to get ready for the Holidays. Our family begins our holiday season with the tradition of chopping down our Christmas Tree the day after Thanksgiving – yes, I would rather spend Black Friday in the woods than in the mall and do my holiday shopping on Cyber Monday. After bringing our tree home, our family spends the entire weekend decorating our home. This year I am looking forward to decorating my son’s bedroom, after all, he is the most excited person in our family for the holidays to arrive. I love the idea of having special holiday decorations for him, and this year I will be adding some ornaments, a garland, and an advent calendar to his room which is one of the many reasons I am especially loving this round up of special holiday goodies for little ones.
