Merry Christmas from Bluebonnet Porch

Hi Everyone!! Merry Christmas! I hope everyone has had a great holiday. I haven’t been in a blogging mind set the past few months, but I have big plans for the new year. It has been a little crazy around here with lots of travel and my dad temporarily moving in with me, so my house hasn’t been in blogging shape. However, I expect to have lots of new content in 2020 including decorating my dad’s new house!!

I still wanted to share some of my holiday decor with y’all from this year and was finally able to snap a few photos yesterday. My basement is where my traditional “Santa” tree ended up this year, but it is not photo ready right now haha. Pretty much everything I used this year was from Hobby Lobby, and I absolutely love the black, white and gold decor, and will likely use it again next year!

How to Install Peel and Stick Wallpaper

Hi y’all! I recently completed my second project using peel and stick wallpaper, and I basically feel like an expert now (jk but I do think I’ve learned a thing or two)! My first experience with wallpaper was in my laundry room (see that here) and my most recent endeavor was my powder room (see that post here). In both rooms I just did an accent wall because wallpaper is a bit pricey and I felt that just a single wall boasted enough power and ‘wow’ to support each tiny space!

My Mom’s House: French Country Teenage Bedroom

Hi y’all! I’m back with another room at my mom’s house. This is my oldest step sister’s room, and it has a French country/shabby chic glam vibe. I really like this room because it is calming and very simple. It also has a balcony that overlooks the pool, which is so pretty and serene. All of the upstairs bedrooms at my mom’s house have ensuite bathrooms, and I actually remembered to snap a picture of this one!
