IN EACH ROOM â—½ HOME
It seems that our own bedrooms are the last to be decorated, organized, made pretty, etc. because we’re always doing and giving and making sure the rest of the house is presentable and livable for the family. This year I decided that I would decorate our bedroom first…and I can’t tell you the joy it has given me each night as I enter the bedroom to end the day. It just makes me smile.
​
Here are some ways to make your bedroom Christmassy and pretty…just for you.
​
Change the sheets. Amazon has the prettiest holiday sheets you can place on your bed for Christmas and right through the winter. Ones with winter scenes are my favorite!
Change the throw pillows. Target has the cutest pillows, often in the Dollar Spot! Or just look around at the discount stores and choose one or two pillows for you.
Add a throw. I found the coziest, softest green throw to bunch up on the corner of the bed, to finalize the bed makeover.
​
It wasn’t a lot of money to change out these things, keeping our comforter the same, and just accessorizing the bed!
​
Add lights. I found a cute skinny Christmas tree at Ross and placed it beside our chair. It’s perfect and creates ambience when evening arrives.
​
Got a Christmas sack? Pick a big one and fill it with tissue and just set it on a chair, a bench or anywhere – in coordinating colors to the rest of your room.
​
Twine on a spool is a cute item for your nightstand, as is a Christmas book…little touches are easy and pretty. I found this spool of twine at Marshalls.
​
A scented candle or diffuser is so wonderful in the bedroom, or your bathroom…so you can add to the coziness that the holiday brings.

​
Just step back and look at your bedroom and see what little changes or additions you can make this holiday season, and leave it all there right through January. Why, not? Pick a favorite Christmas hue, use what you have around the house already, then just look for some cute accessories and enjoy.
​
You’ll want to make your bed every morning, when it’s decorated for the holidays. And you might just hum a holiday tune while you drift off to sleep…dreaming of sugar plums dancing and bright stars shining…
