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.

I love Gilmore Girls and espcecially all the Fall episodes with the small town flair and their very cute Fall festivals at the town square so I decided to go all out this year and make our own Fall Festival with Fall boths and lots of different Fall themed foods.

Seems like a fairly huge task for only one person but to be honest it was easier than I anticipated. The main word here is preparation. It is key to focus on the tasks you need to get done first and then prepare task after task after task. So the first thing I started with was the drawing of the Fall boths.

How to make your own Fall booth

I am going to spare you of my drawings cause no other than me can decipher anything on this small piece of paper, instead I am sharing all of my knowledge on here. Half of it is from Pinterest which always inspires me a lot. First of all I am have planned two Fall booths and one photo station. 

The first booth is really really easy. It is just a taple top on hay bales covered with a gingham tablecloth. Et voilá. Now add a ton of pumpkins and some good food and you are already done.

Now the second booth is a little trickier. I went on ebay and got two palettes for free from someone who doesn´t need them anymore. They are a little worn off but that is not important cause I have painted it in a dark brown wooden color and added so much decor. 

Since this is more like a bar area I wanted it to be a little higher and and closed on top so I built around the two palettes which also gave me the opportunity to add even more decor and also string lights.

Most of the decor is from a very cheap store (Tedi) cause it is very likely that it doesn´t survive this so I did not want to spend too much money.

 

Fall Photo Corner

First of all I wanted to have a cozy and comfortable corner to sit in and second of all a photoworthy spot to comemorate our first Fall festival ever. After I combined these two things I was very pleased with myself for having such a great idea. It was one of the prettiest spots. We took lots of photos here and the kids loved the bench to climb up and down the whole time.

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.

We have recently decided to get a bigger bed cause let´s be honest since both of our kids frequently sneak in at night there just isn´t enough space. I do not know which bed we are going to take but I have found a site (you can check it out here with gorgeours beds just like I envisioned) that has the perfect pieces. I want a beige bed and that gives me a great reason to redo our bedroom. I am finally getting a black and creme boho theme and I couldn´t be more excited. 

So since we are still not final our bed decision I have started redecorating around the room. Changing decor. Changing the color of our frames and curtain rods. Searching for new curtains and also decide on a new color for our gray accent wall.

I am very happy with the decor theme I have choosen cause I feel like the color combination is very classic and timeless and I will hopefully love it for a long long time.
