Lemon Thistle

Today I’m so excited to be joining in on another home tour. And like Monday (I shared my mantel!), I’m not sharing much of my home… because it’s under construction ;) BUT we finished Aubrey’s bedroom for the fall One Room Challenge so it was exciting for her (and me!) to decorate a little girls bedroom for the holidays for the first time ever. If you didn’t catch Aubrey’s room reveal, you can check that out right here– but this is the first time she’s ever not shared with her brothers (she’s a boy/girl twin) so has always had gender neutral bedrooms and decor. The biggest thing she wanted was pink and we ran with that all the way to the Christmas section. This actually was really easy to pull together and cost hardly anything. That’s the awesome thing about moving to a new house is you have no ‘but that goes HERE every year’ issue with moving decor into new rooms. This room tour is part of the Seasonal Simplicity Christmas series of home tours that my lovely friend Krista from The Happy Housie hosts. You can find all the beautiful homes and rooms in the series at the bottom of this post. So if pink ain’t your thing… scroll, baby, scroll ;)

We didn’t have a tree for her room but had a little one for the boys room. I’d promised her I’d get her one but of course left it to the VERY last minute and took her shopping December 1st and there were no mini trees. This was the smallest unless we wanted one that would go on your nightstand or desk (which she was not going for). She hauled it to the check out all on her own to prove that it wasn’t too big (she’s darn cute doing it too). So now she very happily has a four foot pre-lit multicolour tree in her room. She plugs it in every morning (I unplug it when she goes to school) and every evening, she plugs it back in to fall asleep by the lights (again, we turn it off for her). I can’t get over how much she loves her room and taking care of it since we designed it for her. And now that there’s Christmas in there, it is honestly just so magical.
