Cozy Holiday Home

December 12, 2020 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

I don’t know about yall, but this season, more than ever, we are spending a ton of time at home.  2020 has been a crazy year and with the state of things right now we are going out less, and staying in more.  This holiday season I wanted our home be a cozy holiday space that we could really enjoy.  Twinkle lights,  Christmas music, yummy holiday scents, cozy blankets. . .the more the merrier!

We always do a ton of activities during the holidays and I love the holiday hustle and bustle, but I am enjoying this new slower pace.  We have traded holiday parties for family game nights and Christmas movies and I am not mad about it.  It was my first year to decorate the farmhouse for the holidays so I needed some new things.  I headed to Walmart and they had everything I needed to create a cozy holiday home.  It makes my heart so happy to look around and see a beautiful, holiday space!

I am always blown away by Walmart’s assortment.  So many beautiful, throw pillows, blankets and Christmas decor at reasonable prices.   The quality is great, they have a huge range of styles from classic to trendy and its so convenient.  I am so excited with everything I found.  I also got a bunch of great gifts!

There were so many great pillows I really had a hard time narrowing it down.  I got this assortment for my hearth room.  I wanted lots of texture and pattern that I could use all winter long.  Velvet, plaid, faux leather, knotted stripes and buffalo check with embroidery did the trick!

I also got this assortment for my family room.  I loved the faux fur and reversible red stripe fringed pillows.

After switching up the pillows, I added my favorite faux fur blanket, a cute frosted faux tree, my favorite gold picture frame, the yummiest cinnamon candle and this cute tree farm sign (bought in store) to complete the look.  So happy with how everything turned out.

There really were so many amazing things to add holiday spirit to your home for the holidays.  Here is a recap of some of my favorites!

COZY HOLIDAY HOME FAVORITES

  1. PILLOWS:
    • KNOTTY STRIPE: 20X20 gorgeous pillow.  Lots of neutral texture
    • VELVET:  These are some of my favorite pillows. 18×18, Feather filled, beautiful gold zipper detail, multiple colors, LESS THAN $15
    • FAUX LEATHER MIXED TEXTURE: part faux leather, part faux linen.  16×16, feather filled
    • PLAID:  18×18, several colors, love the simple pattern.  ONLY $12.88! poly filled
    • FAUX FUR: beautiful faux fur pillow.  17×17,  ONLY $13.87
  2. BEST PJS:  I live in these PJs.  I have them in 2 different styles.  They are amazing and you need them.  SUPER SOFT, tons of colors/patterns and less than $15!!
  3. HOLIDAY PILLOW:  This buffalo check pillow has red embroidery and is amazing quality.  ONLY $9
  4. FROSTED TREE: I bought this tree in store and it is so pretty.  Love the holiday feel it adds.
  5. YARN TREE:  Another pretty tree to add holiday cheer to your home.
  6. TRAY:  I have shared this before.  I LOVE it. Perfect gift.  Makes an amazing charcuterie board.  So many uses for this great wood tray with gold handles.

  12. COFFEE TABLE:  This is very similar to the table I have.  I love the wood top and the casters.  Perfect blend of multiple styles.
  13. UNO ATTACK:  This is one of our favorite family games.  Both kids and adults love it.  Fast paced and great for kids working on the numbers and colors.
  14. SEQUENCE:  Our other favorite game.  We play this adults only and as a family.  Hours of fun!

When designing our home the kitchen was such an important space. We spend a lot of time in there. I wanted it to be beautiful and functional. Here are some of my favorite features in our kitchen.

I’ve been on the hunt for faux flowers for my outdoor pots and I finally found a winner!!

🌸 comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links

I kept spending lots of money each season on real flowers and it was so much work keeping them alive!

I was looking for a better option and finally found one!

These faux flowers are
•BEAUTIFUL ....always in bloom
•ZERO MAINTENANCE ...no watering, fertilizing, etc
•BUDGET FRIENDLY ...these are priced great and you don’t have to replace them each season
•AND LOOK REAL. Some faux flowers are bad!! These really look good and unless you dig in there you’d never know they are faux

Each pack comes in a bundle of 2 bunches. Each bunch has 7 stems. You can plant 2 ways and I tried both. You can plant the bundle attached together and bend the stems (they are wired) to spread everything out....or....you can cut the bundles apart and plant the stems individually. I ended up doing that and thought they looked more realistic that way.  I ended up using 5 packages (10 bunches) for 2 large pots and 1 smaller pot.

I share both ways on IG stories so you can see the difference.

I also removed some soil and added floral foam blocks beneath, recovered with dirt and stuck the flowers in them.  I don’t think this step was necessary, but I wanted to make sure they were in there firm.

I’m so excited I now get to enjoy beautiful flowers with zero work 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Last year, Geoff and I added wires up this wall in a diamond trellis pattern. We planted creeping fig, but unfortunately, it all died this winter. I just planted Star Jasmine in its place so really hoping it survives. Texas weather is hard!. Thanks to a little AI magic I was able to create what my ultimate vision is. Fingers crossed it will look like this in a couple of years.

I just learned that May 3 is World Naked Gardening Day 🤣 I seriously can’t believe there is a day dedicated to this, but maybe lots of people need fences 🤷🏼‍♀️😉🌱🌿

Yall I recently discovered you could make fun art on ChatGPT using your own images for free! @ciarakenaston inspired me with her Beatrix Potter images and I did a deep dive and found you can do so many cool things!

🩵 Download ChatGPT if you haven’t already and have fun!

Upload an image. Can be of your home, your family, etc and then type in prompts to have it alter your image. You can play around with it and try all kinds of things but here were my prompts for the video

1. Beatrix Potter inspired illustration
2. Jan Brett inspired illustration
3. Vintage oil painting
4. E.H. Shepard inspired illustration 
5. Retro British cottage core style

If you do some be sure to share and tag me. I’d love to see them. Endless possibilities!!
