Christmas is coming soon and it's time to decorate for the holidays!
For Christmas 2014, our second in Woodlands, we went for a "Black, White and Gold theme" as previously mentioned on my Christmas Banner DIY post. We changed the sofa slipcovers to black (or on a closer look is actually dark charcoal gray) and shuffled our furniture pieces and the wall art.
I have always wanted a fireplace. I told my wife that my dream home would definitely have one. Be it in our home country or abroad. So for our living room we wanted to create the cozy feel and look of a family gathering together by the hearth on Christmas eve.
To pull this off, we placed the bureau where the sofa used to be and anchored everything with regards to it. We used its top as a mantel for books, candle holders and ornaments. We also put my original artwork back in the living room.
Arranging the rest of the furniture flowed smoothly once we had the focal point figured out. We also positioned the armchairs at an inclined angle for a more conducive seating area. And finally, we layered the look using accessories for the coffee table and throw pillows for the sofa.
What can look better than a pile of presents underneath the Christmas tree? Well, a stack of beautifully-wrapped, color or theme-coordinated presents. So for now we have started buying presents and I have already wrapped a few in a black, white and gold wrapper, tied with a black string and labelled with a gold gift tag.
Here's the casa "almost ready" for the Christmas:
Busy but exciting days are surely coming, and we can't wait!
