Holiday Home Tour, Blog Hop & a GIVEAWAY

December 6, 2016 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

We have been busy over here getting our home ready for the holidays!  I am so excited to team up with Home Decorators Collection® and several other amazing bloggers for the #HDCholidayhomes blog hop.  Sit down, grab a drink of your favorite choice and welcome to our holiday home tour….warning this is going to be a long post!  There are tons of pictures, but you will want to make it to the end because there is a GIVEAWAY!!! 2 lucky readers will win a $250 gift card to Home Decorators

I found several great items from Home Decorators Collection® that I was excited to work into my decor this year.  Please forgive this terrible picture, but it shows all my goodies in 1 picture!  You will see them throughout the tour!

 

The words I would use to describe my Holiday decor are neutral, farmhouse, vintage and sparkly.  This is the entry of our home right when you walk in. I love using ordinary things in new ways.  Those clipboards are from the Dollar Store and I just printed Christmas stories and music sheets for instant art!  Chalkboards are my favorite.  I use them all over my home.  I got this one and the cotton wreath from Home Decorators Collection® and hung it with sparkly ribbon.  They can both be used during the year, but the sparkly ribbon adds a bit of holiday flair!

I love incorporating book pages in my decor.  It is free and adds just a little something extra!

I made this NOEL banner and will be sharing a tutorial soon.  When I saw the red vintage wagon I had to have it!  It adds just the right amount of pop in this neutral room.

We spend lots of time here during the winter months.  We love sitting by the fire.  We live in Texas so we turn it on as soon as it drops below 60 :)!!

I am in love with this red vintage inspired truck!  I posted a sneak on Instagram and everyone wanted to know where I got it….I found it at Home Decorators!  Braden has been playing with it all over the house!  The bed of the truck holds a lot of toys!

How cute is this North Pole Postbox??!!  Avery loves writing letters to Santa and her Elf so we stick them in here.

The kiddos love a candy bar!  Each holiday we transform our butlers pantry into a candy bar.  This area of our home is dangerous!  Especially late at night 🙂

And last but not least….Avery’s playhouse!  I love it all festive this time of year!

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!!
