It’s HOME TOUR day! It seems like every season I declare on my blog that it’s my favorite home decor of all for that particular season. There’s something about the fresh re-set of home decorations for the season that lightens the heart and makes me fall more in love with that season. Over the past year, I’ve shared our house decorated for Christmas…
And our house decorated for fall..
Back in February, we found out that we were going to be adding another little boy to this Lane clan (in just a few short weeks now!). Knowing the gender of our newest little Lane set about deciding what to do with Harrison’s sleeping situation. Would we buy a second crib? Would we keep Harrison in his current room or move him to a new room? Toddler bed or regular bed?
We decided it would be easiest for Harrison to move to a new room, and for him to give his crib to his baby brother. We already had everything set up in his room as a nursery. Rocking chair, dresser low enough to put our diaper changing station on it. It’s the smallest room in the house, and perfect for a little baby. And fortunate for us, was already decorated for a little boy! So I set about designing a new room for Harrison.
I have loads of “internet” friends that I adore following on Instagram for their amazing home style. But somehow, anytime I set about to do a home project myself, I get 85% of the way there, and then that last 15%, which is usually wall decor, just kind of hangs around for months…sometimes years. We literally have walls and rooms in our house that don’t have a single thing hung on them after six years of being here. (Can you say also fear of putting nails into a beautifully painted wall??)
Here’s a peak of the walls/room before painting…
Almost a year ago, Nathan gifted me with the most perfect gift to date. Being a super organization lover, he gifted me a closet transformation with Elfa at the Container Store. This is no way sponsored. We paid for this transformation ourselves. I’m sharing this product today because I love it. And when it comes to a beautiful organization for a closet at a reasonable cost, Elfa does an amazing job.
When we were re-doing Harrison’s room in preparation for him to join us, I knew we needed the best use of space for his tiny closet. I loved the way it turned out. It maximized space, and drawers, and we can move bars around over time to grow with him. So when Nathan gifted me a new closet, I was so excited! The Container Store helps you design your space just the way you want it. Long hanging space, short hanging space, drawers of different sizes. I got my dream closet at a bargain price. If you’re looking at doing an Elfa organized space, the Container Store has an Elfa sale the month after Christmas – so even better, we got the whole space for a discount. That means that the sale is just around the corner! So if you’ve had a space you’ve been wanting to organize, now is the time!
There is simply nothing better than a warm, cozy home decorated for Christmas. It seems so inviting, and the more twinkle lights the better! Today I’m inviting you into our home for a peak at how the Lanes decorate for Christmas.
