Having not loved what I had in there for 8 years it was time to replace! As I began my search, a few details that I was definate on were that they be a solid curtain and possibly made of linen. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisrFXl8KIlL8evzWVwuOGQ__mckUZ_dKEzbLiXhVHyYSkc_hN1LI0NQINC7OpJ4oxv5xcgmAdKxrd9uH62pYTaXuNstVVlXs1U0oIOYNJho5dRm_oT7W_sN60m1fI3qRTaprfPsKEilGDg/s1000/livingroomcurtains-3.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="767" data-original-width="1000" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisrFXl8KIlL8evzWVwuOGQ__mckUZ_dKEzbLiXhVHyYSkc_hN1LI0NQINC7OpJ4oxv5xcgmAdKxrd9uH62pYTaXuNstVVlXs1U0oIOYNJho5dRm_oT7W_sN60m1fI3qRTaprfPsKEilGDg/w400-h306/livingroomcurtains-3.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">Etsy was the first place I decided to search, to my delight I found some almost immediately. You all know that making a snap decision isn't me, I mulled it over from January to March then I ordered! It took about 6 weeks for them to be made. The curtains arrived a few weeks ago and I waited through countless weather days to get the curtains photographed so that they looked just right. After giving up on the right lighting and Lightroom to edit I've decided to just post them and explain that this part of the house is difficult at best to photograph.</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2zBvXP6zOM_BifiJPecGkPqa1MsSwog_SD1WsLC7asA0guD4y5Hv0W95-9E2Czgssw7PL-DsMQ4_MGhotRHAdEzClbwj6XomkYL_vm_4cllvslA-RuYIAXKrxkI2-_JQfk57Y19gejz9W/s1000/livingroomcurtains-6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="973" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2zBvXP6zOM_BifiJPecGkPqa1MsSwog_SD1WsLC7asA0guD4y5Hv0W95-9E2Czgssw7PL-DsMQ4_MGhotRHAdEzClbwj6XomkYL_vm_4cllvslA-RuYIAXKrxkI2-_JQfk57Y19gejz9W/s320/livingroomcurtains-6.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>The etsy shop offered many lengths and widths along with blackout lining and regular drapery lining. These do not have bump or weights, I think that is okay as they hang perfectly. The dimensions are 32x96 and have the regular drapery lining. The Etsy shop is called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Indulgencefabric?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=788789276" target="_blank">Indulgence Fabric</a> and it based out of northern New York. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-2xjF3BYBPe7P8BA-KR4L8IdV3fyIgV4EOCVzSLaTEimtIqIpO3oYoiFH7o2pdZsczODUlRHm1Phs-XxQXpqAOAqj_foA_7NM88NkC1ML-wQtLj8dHVnSn5nGCarIPwZRM1WrrFcAbKxe/s1000/livingroomcurtains-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="750" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-2xjF3BYBPe7P8BA-KR4L8IdV3fyIgV4EOCVzSLaTEimtIqIpO3oYoiFH7o2pdZsczODUlRHm1Phs-XxQXpqAOAqj_foA_7NM88NkC1ML-wQtLj8dHVnSn5nGCarIPwZRM1WrrFcAbKxe/w300-h400/livingroomcurtains-1.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div>The color is called buttercream and the fabric is linen.

Back in March when we were in lockdown, there were 5 of us living in our house. Everyone had their own bathroom but, somehow everyone including the kids would migrate to our bathroom for whatever purpose. The bathroom began to have an odor, not a normal bathroom odor. At first I just thought it was because we were all going in and out. To no avail I'd spray with an assortment of sprays both air freshner and cleaners around the shower. Months went on and by May, Honey decided it was time to have a handyman come by. He looked at the shower and then said, let's go under your house(we are on a crawlspace). As soon as he opened the door under the house he said immediately your shower drain has a leak! He takes my phone and starts snapping pics of water marks all over boards under the house, along with the drain pipe from the shower that was covered in calcium deposits. We both knew this was over his head and it was time to call professionals.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxzLEAkUc9t2jcIbsVx7ydSHm0nEC7b36ml_ZyzeLuR6kR3ZsK3arkKBS4ux5YZt2t3E1XLJu9I_Np7BFPBBV5nUDnVnk5xl7aoyeNpJKrX6LRsMn0pMKFGb8mfNlQrHo7R383v9TWJJy_/s1000/bathroomrot-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxzLEAkUc9t2jcIbsVx7ydSHm0nEC7b36ml_ZyzeLuR6kR3ZsK3arkKBS4ux5YZt2t3E1XLJu9I_Np7BFPBBV5nUDnVnk5xl7aoyeNpJKrX6LRsMn0pMKFGb8mfNlQrHo7R383v9TWJJy_/s320/bathroomrot-1.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9u1y0DBAYdzxH-EdPZy4sjqmqekB-2YHJM6wRI80MSQRC5jRUbITS9fu7tKM5-wgA-rsG6I-G78tMCvvBIm0UneL2oCItO17XujCGi6f1Kpg5fEQvVvOoSHU3Fn0gXjhLB2Erfex8BmNC/s1000/bathroomrot-2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9u1y0DBAYdzxH-EdPZy4sjqmqekB-2YHJM6wRI80MSQRC5jRUbITS9fu7tKM5-wgA-rsG6I-G78tMCvvBIm0UneL2oCItO17XujCGi6f1Kpg5fEQvVvOoSHU3Fn0gXjhLB2Erfex8BmNC/s320/bathroomrot-2.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLaERjmrOjN5TL-ZCwrGo7EoB7C_0kjN8-NWUizMAcjyUg4BxbyVtWvoAyt7cVnhrvB_7hm-94dw6NRmt4E4D63I1FXAz1O-maDSF8__oQBmf8DU53blIWy4OA75dLGZC2TaaXCgmBwh3i/s1000/bathroomrot-3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLaERjmrOjN5TL-ZCwrGo7EoB7C_0kjN8-NWUizMAcjyUg4BxbyVtWvoAyt7cVnhrvB_7hm-94dw6NRmt4E4D63I1FXAz1O-maDSF8__oQBmf8DU53blIWy4OA75dLGZC2TaaXCgmBwh3i/s320/bathroomrot-3.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><div>Having contractors come over took the better part of June. I must admit, we were in sticker shock...along with our insurance agent! We had such a variety of estimates ranging from $6000-$9450. All the estimates were without the price of the tile! Along with the financial side of this came the time to complete this project. Most said it would take up to 4 weeks to complete. With that information I knew I wanted to wait until John had gone back to college for the fall and Andrew's fiance had left for University of Minnesota phd program. </div><div>For a bit I want to talk about the odor that was present. I've already mentioned it wasn't an odor that would be typical for a bathroom. A contractor told me it was the smell that bacteria from rotting wood give off... his word was "bacteria fart." I'm glad we followed mine and Melissa's nose as this was the ideal time to find this type of damage for insurance concerns as well as our safety(think falling thru the floor). When the insurance adjustor came out he told us had the decay gotten worse the insurance wouldn't have paid. I'm telling you all this because if you have stuff going on in your home that isn't typical, like a smell or something you need to seek out the cause...this has saved us big $$$!</div><div>One thing most bloggers don't do is share what things like remodels or home repairs cost. Most site the difference in areas for what things cost and simply don't share that info. I do believe locations do cause prices to be different. From the very beginning I've said I will tell you everything! As I sit here typing I'm waiting for my tile guy to finish and give me the final invoice. As we finish the details of the bathroom I will absolutely share all of the costs and the varied expenses we have incurred, along with what the insurance company paid.</div><div>Before all of this happened I had not even entertained the idea of having to change anything in our master bath other than the chandy that was above the tub. I had never looked at tile or even master bath ideas on any site. Once it happened my first thought was...well it is just a shower, surely $5000 will cover it. Stay tuned to see just how wrong I was!</div><div><br /></div></div>Positively Southernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08287069883812451130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905901980484332706.post-58096461124169640222020-09-25T05:30:00.000-05:002020-09-25T05:30:07.783-05:00Tailgate Time<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The excitement in Auburn this week is almost palpable. For the past few months most have wondered what football would look like this fall or if there would be football at all. Thank goodness the SEC made sure that our football would go on. That said, as a resident of Auburn I'm relieved that they are limiting of seating inside Jordan Hare stadium so maybe there won't be an enormous flux of folks in our little town. In addition to limited seating, they've said there will be no tailgating with tables, tents and such...all due to the corona virus. Since there will be no tailgating I've opted to created our own version right here at home!</div>

Anytime before I have any sort of a gathering with food I plan out what I'm going to have and what dishes I will use. Also I'll determine which dish/bowl/platter will get which food. This pretty much tells ya'll I'm not a fly by the seat of my pants kinda gal!</div>

My fall tour continues today in our family room. This corner has been dubbed the prettiest corner in the house. This corner holds lots of my fav pieces, starting with the drapes and moving on to the gate legged table. Adding the pumpkin pillow makes it fallish without overdoing it!<br />

The gate legged table holds some of my best finds in antiquing along with thrifting. As I mentioned in my kitchen post, using real flowers is relatively new to me. The flowers continue to be enjoyed.<br />

The pillows on the club chairs are much the same color as the ones I've used prior. These have a bit more texture which seems appropriate for the change in weather we've been having.<br />

The one piece I've been looking to replace and have come up short is our coffee table. I'll admit I'll be sad the day it goes but, that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon. For now this one does the job! The Imari goes perfectly with an orange and blue theme that is the heart of Auburn University's colors. We had hopped both kids would join us as alum, we are glad Andrew followed the family tradition! The Imari bowl also pairs well with Blue Willow. </div>

I'll never forget the first time I saw this pumpkin pillow at another blogger's home. I knew it would be perfect with the decor in our home. Searching all over the country to find this pillow at Pier 1 I came up short. The next year I was smart and looked for it early and found it!</div>

Our Kitchen table is a work horse. I can't even begin to name all the countless things that take place at our table that also includes eating. It is often difficult to keep the table free of other items but at the beginning of the holiday season I give it a real go! This assortment of pumpkins dominates the table along with the lantern.</div>

Speaking of lanterns, this one always gets pulled out in the fall due to the copper finish. Inside the lantern I've placed a pillar holder with an orange candle and 2 fall napkin rings. Yes I took the round part of the napkin ring off but, the small pumpkins were ideal to put inside the lantern.</div>

As I've said many times, fall is my least favorite of seasons. That said, I've made an effort to make the kitchen a bit festive for fall! The Island is the most fall of the spaces.<br />

The small touches of orange work well for the kitchen. I've put a few of the treats my crew likes on the tiered server. Honey loves candy corn and the boys though not home often have always loved a sucker!</div>

The Happy Everything plate always brings a pop of color to any space. The glass pumpkin was a clearance find last year at Pier 1. Have I said how sad I am that they have closed?! We all love Goldfish so I've added those to a small Blue Willow bowl.<br />

Rarely have I ever brought fresh flowers into our home and that had to do with the fact when our cats were living they would eat the flowers. That never had a positive outcome, so I just never had them around. Now that we are a pet free home I often forget I can bring in real plants and flowers! These certainly brighten this corner of the kitchen!</div>

It is a fun spot to decorate and best of all it is mobile! For sometime now I've adored bar carts so much so that I have 2...3 really if you count the one in the attic! Here are a few pics of the 2 used the most.<br />

Usually, the one I use indoors resides in the dining room. For special days like birthdays and other events it gets moved about the house. Clearly, bar carts aren't just for bar accessories and spirits.</div>
<div>
Last year, I was inspired by a blogger that shared her bar cart with china and serving pieces on it. Meanwhile, this fabulous monogrammed china I found at Scott's Antiques was languishing away in the bottom of the china cabinet just waiting to make its debut on the blog! Having seen hers I didn't hesitate to clear summer items off the cart and carefully placed the china on it. The look was perfect for the fall and Christmas holidays.<br />

I find it incredibly hard to believe that we moved our youngest back into the dorm last week. Last year I shared every detail of his dorm in this<a href="https://www.positivelysouthern.com/2018/08/life-in-dorm.html" target="_blank"> post.</a> Well of course, I'm sharing his dorm with all of you this year as well. Along with 5 friends they all decided to room together in what is called a cluster, think 3 bedroom apartment minus a full kitchen. Let's start with a before of the bedrooms.<br />

All the bedrooms come with a lofted twin xl bed/mattress, chest that you see, a night stand and a desk. We opted to move the night stand and the desk out of the room into their storage area. Had I seen the room prior to move in I might have put the chest under the bed and placed the desk where his chest is. John loves having the elevated shelf on that chest, he remarked that he would have been unable to have used the desk as intended with that shelf. He typically studies in one of the other buildings. Blount Hall has a study room so maybe he will study there if he needs to. Three of his roommates also have aspirations of going to medical school so, these kids are serious students all on the Dean's List with High Honors last year.<br />

John might have been happiest that they have their own bathroom that is inside their cluster.<br />

The family room looked pretty sparse upon arrival. I'm told by other parents and John that some of the other guys brought a a rug, tv stand and an assortment of chairs and futons.<br />

The kitchenette is as expected. Other than a Keurig they are not allowed to have appliances such as a toaster. The storage is more than adequate for this area I think.<br />

You might look at these photos and wonder where the other roommates belongings are. As a section leader in the band, John moved in a few days ahead of the other 5 guys for band camp! I will admit it was nice to have the place all to ourselves!<br />
I never posted a recap of John's freshman year but it was a very good year. He was on the Dean's List with High Honors both semesters, became a brother with Sigma Nu, was first runner up at the Mr. Huntingdon pageant, was elected as the sophomore class president and was awarded the highest average in the general chemistry classes. He might be the most proud of being dubbed the #buf all over campus! I'll end this post by saying:<br />

What was I going to put on that very large wall?! Meanwhile, my growing collection of shields/crest were spread out around the house without much notice. I decided to group them all together on that wall.<br />

This large gray and red one isn't that old I don't think, though weathered so my guess is that is was hung outside. I picked it up at Scott's Antique market from <a href="https://www.hedgerowantiques.com/" target="_blank">Hedgerow Antiques!</a> If you haven't met Laurie at Scott's you need to! She always has the most incredible and unique pieces!</div>

The trip wasn't a great trip in the realm of thrifting but, along the way I saw beautiful scenery. As you all know, I love St. Simons Island and go there as often as possible. This trip up and down the eastern seaboard gave way to a one night stay at <a href="http://www.oceaninnsuites.com/" target="_blank">Ocean Inn & Suites.</a> For many years I've wanted to stay at this hotel as the location is ideal. As luck would have it the rate was in my budget so I booked!<br />

Upon check in I was immediately upgraded and the room was lovely! I dashed to the balcony, while it was small the view was fantastic, especially at night when the lighthouse was lit! </div>
<div>
from the balcony you can see the ocean, even if it is a bit of a stretch from this room.</div>

As you can see this room was quite spacious. A couple could totally stay in this room with small children on a rollaway bed and not feel cramped. The king sized bed was very comfy, so much so that I didn't wanna get out the next morning. </div>

The very moment I saw this antique chest I fell hard!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was styled beautifully (wish I had a pic
but think antique shaving mirror with a pair of lamps on either side and lots
of other wonderful pieces sitting on top) and was sitting my Bestie N’s
bathroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As luck would have it, she found a piece she
loved more than that chest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Knowing</span> I wanted the chest she called and asked if I was interested...heck yeah!!! I had no idea where it was going but for sure I
wanted it!<o:p></o:p><br />

it would give me a bit of an update but could still do the tile at some

<div class="MsoNormal">
It has been an interesting few weeks! Realizing that you all haven't heard from me in the New Year I feel like you might be owed an explanation! Did I just say New Year?? Gosh just a few weeks ago it was Christmas and now here we are approaching Valentine's Day! My January was a crazy one, I was sick with 3 different things that knocked me back by a few weeks! I feel so behind in every aspect of my life! The day before I ended up with food poisoning, I decided it was time to tackle one of the attic spaces. John was still home from college so he was an enormous help. Maybe you recall in an instastory some time ago i mentioned I had 23 lamps in I the attic, the count of lamps is down a bit! Here are a few photos of how it looked when I started! </div>

To say it was a disaster would be correct! Just trying to shove the Christmas stuff that I store in this attic (we have 5 smallish attic spaces) was a huge effort. This was just one of the loads I took to a local thrift store. <br />

<br />The plan was to get all this stuff out and then go thru the remaining tubs that hold seasonal items among other treasures! Then the very next day I had a burger from 5 Guys(I've always loved their burgers)and for the next 5 days I was incredibly sick! When I walked out that afternoon preburger this is what it looked like AND still looks like!<br />

The weather got cold again and I couldn't even bring myself to open the attic door. Waiting in the attic is still a mountain of work as you can see from the photos above. The revised plan is to get in there when life settles back down (maybe next week) and sort through those tubs. I even need to sweep and put out lots of whatever it takes to rid the attic of the mice that have been calling it home...ya'll that is another blog post entirely! <br />

Celebrating New Year's Eve at home has long been our tradition. After children came along we opted for a more subdued night. The evening includes inviting friends over for dinner and watching the ball drop on TV. Staying in can be just as nice as an evening out. To make the evening festive I start with a tablescape!<br />

Typically, for dinner I serve a tried and true recipe. Honey's fav meal of Party Chicken, Boursin potatoes along with a fresh salad is my go to meal. Dessert is often simple with a sherbet and fresh fruit. These dishes are easy to prepare and offers the ability to have the bulk of the prep dishes washed long before guests ring the doorbell!</div>

I had the pleasure of touring the public portion of the President's home as part of the Auburn Preservation League's Christmas Tour of Homes. I'm warning ya'll there are lots of photos and I'm not going to do alot of commentary for each photo! Consider this merely a feast for the eyes.<br />

It was a treat to have Ms. Leath present for the first day of the tour. She shared many insights to the remodel and decorating of the home. Below in the garland that graced the stairs, I found silk hydrangea along with lamb's ear also tucked in. <br />

This room was lovely, the president's wife shared that the fabric for these drapes came from none other than Hobby Lobby!! Many of the seasonal decorations were from Hobby Lobby and Home Goods, this was a surprising delight. <br />

The drawing below was done by an Auburn alumni, Stephan Malkoff of Enterprise, Alabama. We went to high school together way back when, he even married a gal I was friends with in school. Stephan has done many drawings around the southeast and this is one of our beloved Toomer's Oaks that were poisoned some years ago.<br />

It was very much appreciated within our community that the Leath's along with the University allowed the home to be open to the public.

<span style="text-align: start;">Over the past few months I’ve been working with the Auburn Preservation League’s Christmas Tour of Home. It has been such a pleasure to work with and get to know the homeowners along with the countless volunteers on this project. This past weekend was the actual tour, it was such a delight to see the homes in all their seasonal glory! As I went about the tour each home had special details that adored but, then I got to my fav house of all! </span></div>

There wasn’t one thing about this home that I
didn’t LOVE! This is a home that I could
literally move right into and not change a thing! As I visited with the homeowner I asked if it
would be okay if I dashed home got my good camera and come back to photograph
for the blog, she graciously accepted. Here
is my warning…this is a photo heavy blog post, you’ll be glad I took so many
photos! Have I mentioned the weather was nothing short
of miserable? Ya’ll it was raining and
cloudy and it definitely impacted my photos.<br />

Welcome to the Mingle and Jingle Progressive Dinner Blog Hop! If you are coming over from <a href="http://wp.me/p82xHc-uC" target="_blank">Home on Poplar Creek</a> I'm delighted you are here! Nicole's tablescape was beautiful and full of inspiration. My role in the progressive dinner is to share the main course. I gotta let ya'll in on this little secret, the older I get the more I despise cooking...like I'd rather do anything but cook! Since I feel this way what I cook and serve to my family should be simple and easy to prepare. I am not interested in a recipe that has 10 ingredients! HA!! That confession aside, I still want what I cook to be tasty and appealing. </div>

Have you ever tried Char Crust or even heard of it? This is not a sponsored post for <a href="https://www.charcrust.com/" target="_blank">CharCrust</a>! I use this on almost every meat I serve to my family. In this recipe after removing the pork tenderlion from the package I rinse and pat dry with a paper towel. For a small tenderloin I take about 2 tablespoons of the dry rub seasoning and place in a plate that will fit the tenderloin. With a somewhat dry tenderloin roll the tenderloin in the seasonings. When the meat is coated in the dry rub I place on a baking sheet. Spritz or spoon maybe a tablespoon of olive oil onto the tenderloin. This keeps the rub from burning. Place the meat in the oven which is set to broil for about 5 minute to sear. After broiling, loosely cover with foil. Then bake at 350 degrees for an hour or until your roast is 145 degrees. Let it rest for about 7 minutes then slice and serve!<br />

A side story you might find funny!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Ages ago we were invited to be part of a progressive dinner. It was an interesting experience and I wouldn't count that as a success. The first home we went to the girl had worked all day and had paid no attention to the instructions. She had donuts instead of appetizers and everyone filled up on donuts. As the night went on and we arrived at our house for whatever I was serving one of the children that had indulged in those donuts was sick....as in all over my bathroom. Needless to say it was the end of the progressive meal!

In case you haven't realized, I'm that person that wants to find multiple uses for whatever I buy with home decor being no exception. As I looked and shopped for this season's table decor I kept in mind that I need linens that weren't just for Christmas. This table runner certainly fits the bill for a winter look. Amazingly, it also works well with my non seasonal decor and will transfer splendidly into January.<br />

Let's talk about napkins!!! Y'all I love anything that is scalloped...potatoes, the top of my wedding dress and most especially these napkins also from <a href="https://www.pier1.com/" target="_blank">Pier 1</a>. The tassels are everything!!! The napkin rings soften the look with the delicate flower.<br />

The halls have been decked here at Positively Southern and our Merry and Bright Holiday Home Tour continues! The dining room is always my favorite room to decorate for any season and most especially at Christmas. As always, I pull out both sets of china to grace the table in the numerous tablescapes for the dinner parties we host. This year the color scheme doesn't lend to a particularly Christmas theme of reds and greens, it still feels like Christmas just the same!<br />

With new colors on the dining room tree it was time to stretch my design abilities. The moment I saw this fabric from <a href="https://boholuxehome.com/" target="_blank">BoHo Luxe Home</a> rightly named Ashes of Roses, I knew it would pair beautifully with what I had planned for the dining room this holiday season. If you are looking for unique fabrics, pillows and wallpaper be sure and visit <a href="https://boholuxehome.com/" target="_blank">BoHo Luxe Home</a>!<br />

The colors in the fabric are almost an exact match to the rug in the dining room. It looks as if I planned it that way! <a href="https://boholuxehome.com/" target="_blank">BoHo Luxe Home</a> graciously made this into a table runner that is nothing short of stunning!<br />

As soon as I made the fabric choice I dashed to Pier 1 Imports for a few linens. Running into a few problems with quantities I opted for the captain's place settings to have a different color napkin. The bright lavender blended well with the colors in the table runner.<br />

The silver placemat board continues to be my most used item in tablescaping inventory. It pairs well with my wedding china.<br />

Much thought and debate went on for the centerpiece. When all was said and done I dashed to the yard and clipped some greenery. The blooms you see just happen to be napkin rings! The arrangement rests on a silver tray.<br />

I'm so pleased with how the room has evolved this holiday season! One thing I've tried to do lately is to step out from my usual way of doing things... in all facets of my life. In the new year I'll share more on this.

As I've already mentioned in a recent post (see that<a href="https://www.positivelysouthern.com/2018/11/feeling-blue-for-christmas.html" target="_blank"> here</a>) this year it is all about color at Positively Southern. This darling little tree came into our lives late in the season last year and I do believe it was every one's fav! We love it so much that we keep this one pretty simple with only the colored lights and candy garland. This tree certainly brightens this spot in our home.<br />

The garland on the stairs gets a refresh of ornaments each year along with a coordinating ribbon. The ribbon has a bit of a copper look that flows with both the dining room and foyer. </div>

Our main tree has it's color back this year! After the decision to keep the decor gold and silver last year, I truly missed using red. This year I knew I wouldn't go that direction again, I pulled out all the red I could find!</div>

Notice that the tree has a few blue ornaments for an accent color. I like to think that maybe it helps tie the blue sofa into the Christmas decor!<br />

The majority of ornaments on all of our trees have been collected since I was in college. Each year I add a few new things to the trees. The large snowflakes are from<a href="https://www.joann.com/" target="_blank"> JoAnn Stores.</a><br />

Santa always bring his gifts to this tree! With the french doors, this tree can be seen from the kitchen and family room. I adore how the glow of the tree warms the rooms up.<br />

Black beans, are they part of your regular food repertoire? I'll be honest and say they weren't on mine, until I had these!<br />

Our older son is engaged to a precious girl from Miami. She has introduced us to a whole new world of food. She is part Cuban and Colombian and brings her culture to our table every time she visits! Andrew kept telling me we had to try these black beans boy, was he right! They are delish! She was gracious to prepare these and let me photograph as she went so I could share with you all.<br />

In fact, each space I've decorated this year is a completely different color. I'm excited to share those spaces over the next few weeks! Today, I'm sharing our family room that is all decked out in blue!<br />

For this year's color scheme I drew inspiration from none other than Blue Willow. After Christmas last year I dashed to Pier 1 and bought every blue bit of tree decor they had! HA!! Really I did!<br />

The family room tree typically holds our family ornaments. Ornaments we've collected over the years that are from trips or locations we've been. <br />

This year a Linda from <a href="https://thehomeicreate.com/" target="_blank">The Home I Create</a>, posted on Instagram her tree filled with Blue Willow plates. She inspired me to do the same. I'll now be on the hunt for Blue Willow butter pats. I've seen plenty in the past but, saw no reason to get them...regrets, I've got a few!</div>

The coffee table in our family room always gets lots of use, not as much as it did since John is away at college. He will be home most of the month of December so I still needed to keep the space not super full. The container holding ornaments is from Pottery Barn many years ago but, I see them everywhere now!<br />
