Holiday Housewalk 2012

Good morning! Today I'm joining in Jennifer Rizzo's 2012 Holiday Housewalk Tour! If you missed the featured blogs on the tour you can click here...I assure you you don't want to miss any of them! Let's get this party started, shall we?

If you're new here, this is my husband and my first apartment and our second Christmas as a married couple. Our apartment has tons of character and charm, but not a lot of space. I love to get creative and make the most of our less-than-1,000 square feet on a newlywed budget.

This year's Christmas living room was done with lots of greenery, silver and mercury glass with a touch of black.

You can see more photos and get all the details on our Christmas living room here and here.

When Matt expressed his...concern...that our living room didn't look all that Christmas-y, I decided to try to step out of my neutral comfort zone and bring some pops of red into the kitchen.

I tried to make the kitchen feel cheery and festive, as compared to our more natural and refined living room.

I added simple pops of red with candy canes and peppermints, plus some meringues, for a Christmas confections look.

Our bedroom is a very soothing, serene space done in white, silver and gray, so I stayed with that theme and only added bottle brush trees, mini pines, greenery and silver.

Just a few clippings from our yard make the usual bedside decorations feel special.

The gray farmhouse bench at the foot of our bed got treated to some sparkly bottlebrush trees, simple white candles and greens.

I hope you all enjoyed the tour of our little apartment! Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a very Merry Christmas!

Pssst...you can see our house at Christmas last year here. It's amazing to me how far both my photography and decorating skills have come in just a year!
