Don´t I love a Christmas themed mug. In fact all things Christmas are right up my alley cause Christmas decor is just the best. All the lights, the glitter, the christmassy figurines and the decorated trees…

I could go on for hours but today´s post is all about mugs – our favorite container for our hot beverages. 

Christmas Mugs

I am browsing Anthropologie, Sinsay, H&M, amazon and Depot every year to find the cutest mugs. This year I have noticed a lot of vintage inspired Christmas mugs in gorgeous shapes and colors.

Kids Halloween Party – Food, Decor, Goodie Bags and our Costumes…

….

We had our kids Halloween party yesterday and I would say it was a total success. All of the little ones had so much fun and loved all of our activities.

But let´s start at the very beginning- the decor:

Decoration

I of course went right to amazon and searched for Halloween baloon arch. The most beautiful color combos showed up and was deciding between neon green and purple as a fourth color but ultimately went with purple cause Emilia loves this color. 

The little character baloons are also amazon. Most of our decor like the tombstones and animals as well as the table cloth and fake flowers are really old and have been used for years (going to link similar things). 

Food 

We served lots of snack like foods (you can see all about it on Instagram) cause this way they could whenever they wanted.

Activities

Since they are all pretty young I didn´t plan activities that would take super long so instead I got some really cool things to do. I ordered a bunch of spooky tattoos from amazon and they have been a huge hit for every age. Helena got three and was holding super still while applying. The other thing I got had been a soft dart board with velcro balls to throw at. It had all kinds of Halloween characters on it and it was a huge hit as well cause the kids played to get candy. Coloring has also always been a huge hit so I went on the internet and got a bunch of cute templates with mummies, witches and ghosts. These three things have been enough between eating cake and playing so there was not a dull moment for even a moment.

Costumes 

Emilia has given us the themes of our cosutmes. We had to be bats and pumpkins, the very epitomes of Halloween. I really loved the theme and we dressed accordingly. The adult costumes are all amazon and the kids costumes have been H&M.

 

Goodie Bags

I love to put together goodie bags. I just love it. Many people dread this task but it is my favorite after putting up the decor. I have found so many cute Halloween themed things, mostly at Kik and Tedi (these two are probably closest to the dollar store than any other store).

Things to fill your Halloween goodie bags: 

– little skeletons 

– Halloween themed sticker

– Halloween themed candy

– Monster figurines

– orange plop it bracelets

Happy first day of fall, y´all !!! Today marks the first day of the best season of the year. We are going to have a busy time ahead of us with lots of holiday decor and festivities.

I wanted to share this whole list of amazon Fall decor cause it will sell out fast like it does every year. Ordering early is key here. You can go classic bright orange or you do a neutral color theme with beige, gold and green. 

The table runner is currently sitting on our dining room table and it is a nice chance to my usual orange

Master Bedroom Make-Over in Black and Creme…

 

….

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate LInks-not sponsored)

Oops, I did it again !!!

I have yet again rededorated and restyled our master bedroom and this time (fingers crossed) it will hopefully be the last time cause I have never been so satisfied and content with it. The last couple of years have been a finding phase. I have always had a vision and loved several looks I had saved on Pinterest but somehow strayed away from that. 

The first time I shared our bedroom here – it was still in its finding phase. The wall was bright orange when we moved in and I just made it work while thinking how I could change it and spice it up so it would be a great fit for us.

The second time I shared our bedroom I changed the color theme to gray and turquoise and I definitely loved it for a while but I often found myself going back to my Pinterest explore page and look at bedroom inspo I had saved for so long. 

This Summer we decided to look for a new and bigger bed because the two girls end up in there every night at some point and for four people it is just too small so I sensed my chance of yet another master bedroom make-over. 

And here we are – done and happy with a big ´ol smile.

Master Bedroom Make-Over

The Color Theme

I find that the black and cream color combo is super soothing and calming. I instantly feel good when I enter the bedroom. Gold accents are spread in the bedroom as well to add that luxurious feel. 

 

The Decor

The eyecatcher of the room definitely is the gallery wall behind our bed. I love it so much I could just stare at it. The black book shelves stacked with many different sized and colored frames is my favorite part of the room.

Another thing I have loved about our bohemian black and beige bedroom are the fringes and tassels on the curtains and pillows. If we had a cat it would go nuts in there!! I have reused a great amount of decor I had left from other rooms. Also the gallery wall frames are the same. They had been silver in the past but I spray painted them black, as well as the handles of the closet and the curtain rods. Switched out the mirrors, the curtains and the carpet and created a whole new styled and feel for the room as well as a new decor theme.

It feels very inviting and comfy and not cool at all (I think the gray wall color was a big part of that).

The Furniture

I only changed out two pieces of furniture. The little side table in the corner and the chair. The brown leaf shaped side table has been sitting in our attic for years cause I did not want to give it away and now it perfectly serves its new purpose. I had a gray velvet armchair in this corner and it was super cute and comfortable but I sold it and got this new sleek and modern chair for it. Everything else was in the room before. Even the bed although I told y´all we were getting a new one which might take longer than I have anticipated.
