    My Home Style Blog Hop: Christmas Tree Edition

    December 7, 2015 / 17 Comments

    Welcome to the My Home Style Blog Hop: Christmas Tree Edition hosted by Casa Watkins. I’m so excited to share my Christmas tree style with you. If you are heading over Domicile 37, welcome! Isn’t her style so fun?! If you are new to Elizabeth Joan Designs, welcome to you too. My name is Erin and I blog here with my sister, Emily, where we share all things DIY, decor, crafts, etc.

    My Home Style Christmas Tree Edition

    I describe our home style as Neutral Modern Farmhouse and our Christmas tree definitely falls into the same category. I love to keep things simple with clean lines (like in this neutral black and white striped ribbon), but also have a comfortable and collected look. Kind of classic meets contemporary.

    Quite a few of the pieces on our tree are handmade, like our Feather Christmas Ornaments…

    And the Silhouette Ornaments with our kids on them.

    I also used some pine cones from our parents house, which were spray painted and hung on the tree. If you don’t feel like taking the time to make your own, you can always snag some of these white painted pine cone embellishments/ornaments.

    Several of our ornaments were purchased to add pop of silver and gold sparkle.

    To finish off the tree, I added some mercury glass rain drop ornaments from West Elm (no longer available) and tulle/ribbon. The faux white sheepskin on the floor helps make everything feel more cozy. We are still looking for the perfect tree topper, so if you know of something that would work well with our Christmas tree style, let me know!

    Thanks so much for stopping by to check out My Home Style Blog Hop: Christmas Tree Edition today!

    Five Minute Friday: Feather Christmas Ornament

    December 4, 2015 / 1 Comment

    Five Minute Friday
    Welcome to 5 Minute Friday. This is a weekly post where we share quick tips, projects, and recipes that can all be completed in 5 minutes or less! The topic this week is Feather Christmas Ornament.

    Feather Christmas Ornament

    This post contains affiliate links.

    This is probably one of easiest, yet elegant ornaments you could possibly make. And it actually only takes about one minute (or less!) to complete each one, so that makes it a major score in my book.

    You will need:

    • Glass or Plastic Clear Ball Ornament
    • White Feather
    • Ornament Hanger

    Plastic Ornament Hanger

    Remove the top piece from the ornament. (I chose plastic because… Kids, Puppy, Cat.)

    Ornament Top

    Insert one white feather. (Depending on the size of the feather, you may want to cut it down a bit. Or not.) If needed, use a pencil or something similarly slim to move the feather around inside of the ornament until it is situated to your liking. Replace top piece.

    Feather Ornament

    Attach ornament hanger.

    Swirl Ornament Hanger

    And you are done! Super easy, right? I love the way these ornaments look on a Christmas tree. They are very simple, but the light reflects perfectly off of the ball. It kind of gives them an ethereal presence.

    Christmas Tree Decor Ornament

    We’ve had these pretty ornaments hanging on our Christmas tree for over 10 years and they are still one of our favorites! Check back soon to see our Christmas tree all decked out for the holidays.

    Holiday Home Tour 2015

    December 2, 2015 / 22 Comments

    Welcome to the Holiday Home Tour 2015! If you are new to our blog or a frequent reader, we are so excited to have you here. Also, if you are coming over from Up to Date Interiors, welcome to you too. My name is Emily and I blog here at Elizabeth Joan Designs with my sister, Erin. Today, I’m sharing my a tour of my home decorated for the holidays. (Check out Erin’s My Home Style Blog Hop: Christmas Tree Edition coming up next week.)

    Are you recovering from Thanksgiving okay? I have been so bombarded with sickness over the past month, I can’t wait to start feeling better. Soon, I hope. Well, come on in and see our simple holiday decor for the year.

    I recently shared an entryway update, but now I get to show it off all decked-out for the winter season.

    Wreaths are so beautiful and simple, I knew this year I had to have mini ones displayed on our kitchen cabinets. I love the contrast of the green wreaths on the white cabinets.

    Here in western New York we see a lot of snow. My attitude is if you can beat ’em, join ’em, hence the snowflakes on our kitchen window.

    Oh, my pride and joy: our buffet table and pegboard. This is one of my favorite spots in the whole house. A few neutral touches brings this area up to speed with the rest of our holiday decor.

    Who decorates their bathroom for Christmas? I do, and proud of it. Just because it is the smallest room in the house doesn’t mean it can’t join in the festivities.

    We are introducing a new to us family tradition this holiday season. Ever heard of the Christmas Pickle? You can read all about it on Wikipedia.

    Just like I shared in last years holiday home tour, we put up our Advent calendar again. Let the count down begin!

    That’s all I have for you this home tour. Hopefully I will be feeling better soon so we can get our living room decorated before the holidays come and go. Have you started decorating yet?
