We’re eagerly counting down the days to the 25th, and I wanted to share our master bedroom Christmas decor. I didn’t do the entire master suite as in years past because of my aching shoulders, but I just couldn’t let the season slip away without a little something-something nice to wake up to! 🙂
C’mon upstairs! No running in the house, Kathleen and Liz, or there will be coal in your stocking on Christmas Day! 🙂
At the top of the steps is this little arrangement that lights up the hallway.
Let’s head on into the master suite.
Before you ask….no, there are no window treatments up here. There is no fabric on ANY window in the house. If I had my way, there would be no blinds, no nothing…and there’d be a bank of French doors leading to a deck!!! I just like the sunshine to stream in. Ramon, on the other hand, begs to differ on that issue! So…I’m dragging my feet finding just the right drapes. And I’m gonna KEEP draggin’ ’em! 😉
Our television armoire is decked in shades of gold and cream. The faux pine wreath is on an iron wreath stand from Pier 1 Imports. I applied ornaments of different sizes and hues in a way that would create a bubbly 3-D look. A shimmering gold bow with trailing tails finishes it. Gold-painted reindeer in two sizes prance around the “Merry and Bright” placard, announcing the feeling I wanted to evoke with this vignette. (I used these reindeer in a 2010 tablescape called “Roman Holiday” that you can see HERE.)
I bought these beautiful white lace Christmas stockings years ago while on our honeymoon in New Orleans, LA. I think this is my first year to use them for holiday decorating!
A tabletop Christmas tree (rather than the 6-ft. tree originally planned for this corner) is adorned in the same gold ribbon as the television armoire wreath and lots of soft white lights. Ornamentation includes Christmas bells for a topper and balls similar to those on the wreath with a few vertical ornaments added for visual interest. The bed of greenery beneath the tree is laced with ribbon, pine cones, ornaments, and a string of lights. Gold reindeer prance in the center.
The glass-front linen armoire on the north wall of the bedroom sports a pretty miniature version of the larger wreath across the room. (Somebody needs to straighten those towels!!!)
I don’t suppose there’s any question as to which side of the bed is mine? 🙂
A photo of me and my forever love that I keep bedside!
That’s it! That’s all! I couldn’t do anymore!!! Maybe next year I’ll be up to doing the entire master suite which includes our bathroom and my private dressing room (the only room in the house that gets a totally “girly” treatment!) I love waking up throughout the Christmas season to lots of pretty seasonal bling! (Ramon actually asked if we could keep this up year round!!! God bless his silly little heart! :-))

I hope your decorating is just about finished up and that you are enjoying the merriment and blessings of the season!

I have seen several master bedrooms dressed for Christmas so next year I will do that!!! Now that our master is on the first floor, I really should! I love the gold and white! And the SPARKLE!!!! I, too would forgo window treatments. I didn’t have them in the last house (we were in the woods), but now we have close neighbors so I HAVE to:( XO, Pinky

OoOooh preeeetty! I’d not want to get out of bed. Love the gold bells atop the tree, and the Battenburg Lace stockings. Santa needs to place a little sumpin-sumpin in a Tiffany blue box in your stocking, because I’m pretty sure you sleep under the “Nice” hat. {giggles} I didn’t even notice there were no window treatments. Is it wrong to not have window treatments??? 😉 I have a room that I choose only to have blinds. Geoffrey must have put those towels away while he was in the whoopie juice. Good help is so difficult to find these days. 😉

I’m so glad I came here this morning because I love your MBR. The decor all by itself is really lovely to me, but with the Christmas touches added it’s even more wonderful. I love, love, love the naughty and nice over the bed. I want to copy cat that. It would make my husband laugh out loud, literally.
Love this!
(And if I were not so afraid of scary faces in the window, I wouldn’t have a curtain or blind up either. I wish I had more windows and more light around here. )

I think Ramon doesn’t really mind the non-existent-drapes – he loves the Sun. The one that enters through the windows and the one that shines from within you. :love:.

Thank you for sharing your bedroom decor with us ! I love the arrangement at the top of the stairs. I too have no curtains on most of my windows. I live in the country so who is going to see in but the critters outside. I do have mini blinds on the bedroom windows for sleeping though. 😉

Alycia, Even your abbreviated version of decorating puts me to shame! I love the soft lights from Christmas strings and I can see how that would glow in the Master bedroom. You actually have something from your honeymoon that you have never used? My husband would agree with you, he wants the sun streaming in. I have blinds and sheers on my windows so I can let in the sun when he wants and make it totally dark when I need it that way. Beautiful linens on your bed too. Dianne

Hi, Judy! I sure hope my body feels up to getting the dressing room done next year. It takes a bit of work in there since there’s so many shoes and hats and bags and stuff. I don’t know why I hang onto all of that…I don’t really go anywhere anymore!
My folks are coming for a dinner party this evening. Ramon just left to pick them up. I’m glad they’ll be here. My Dad hardly leaves the house anymore. It’s nice when he does. With his Alzheimer’s you never quite know what exactly he’s going to do or say, but we’re all used to it by now. I’m just glad he’s here!!!
I hope from the bottom of my heart that you have a wonderful and peaceful Christmas! Take good care! Alycia
