Gah! Can you even believe it’s already December?! I blinked, and here we are. I’m three days behind on Blogmas, but I’m definitely not giving up. Every year, I tell myself I’ll be consistent, and every year, I’m not. This time though I’m just going to show up.
I miss the days of grabbing my coffee, catching up on the blogs I follow, and writing my own. Busyness keeps me stuck but so does doom scrolling. So, I’ve decided to lock my phone away until 10 a.m. most mornings while I focus on my blog and catch up on some of my favorites.
Day 1 of Blogmas: Sharing Nox and Nori’s holiday room!
One of my favorite things about the holiday season is decorating and Nox and Nori’s shared room just got a holiday makeover! Turning their space into a cozy Christmas wonderland brings so much joy and not just for them, but for me, too. This year, I wanted to create something magical and full of warmth, where every detail feels like a page out of a holiday storybook.
As soon as you step into their room, the Christmas cheer is undeniable. The centerpiece is a slender cashmere pencil tree that stands perfectly between their beds. It’s filled with keepsake ornaments from past years, as well as a few new ones they excitedly picked out this year. I love how the tree brings a warm glow to the room, making it feel extra special when the lights are dimmed in the evening.
Their beds are dressed in their usual Beddy’s bedding, (use code: CHELLEB for 15% off) which makes tidying up effortless. To make them extra festive, I added gingerbread throw blankets and whimsical gingerbread and peppermint pillows. Above each bed, I hung a framed holiday print, an art piece from olive+opal and lined them with garland, adding a playful yet elegant touch to their sleeping space.
On their dresser, a small tabletop tree with tiny ornaments, surrounded by nori’s musical box and other festive trinkets that make the room feel magical. I found these small mini stockings with their initials and hung them from the closet door. They will be perfect for tucking in little surprises throughout December. 🥹I also hung a wreath above the baskets on the wall that hold their beloved Cuddle + Kind dolls.
One of their favorite spots is the book nook. Their Nugget Comfort is layered with a cozy white tree blanket and cheerful festive pillows, creating the perfect little hideaway for holiday reading sessions. The bookshelf is lined with all our favorite Christmas books. I hung a tapestry, garland, and a festive sign to tie it all together. It’s a space where stories come to life and holiday dreams begin. I love cuddling up in this corner for story time!
Nori’s Santa sack is tucked beside her bed, with extra blankets. It’s such a small touch, but it brings the corner together.
Seeing their faces light up when they walked into the room was the best part. Every piece of decor has a story or a purpose, whether it’s a memory tied to an ornament or the coziness of their nook during a bedtime story. This little holiday retreat feels like a reflection of the joy and wonder of Christmas itself.
I hope this inspires you to bring a little extra magic into your own home this season. For me, creating this space for Nox and Nori is one of the highlights of the holidays, and I love knowing that these memories will stay with them forever.
