Starfish Cottage Holiday House Tour 2014

(While I am busy decorating the cottage for THIS year, I thought I would repost my holiday house tour from LAST year, enjoy!)

Welcome to the Starfish Cottage Holiday House Tour 2014!

We live in a little house on the West Coast of Florida we like to call “Starfish Cottage”. 

I love “coastal style decorating” (in case you haven’t already noticed)… and our home is filled with seashells, slipcovers and seagrass rugs; as well as antiques, vintage finds, lots of candles and natural accents. 

I have been busy as an elf preparing our home for the holiday season and hope you enjoy the tour!

(** Be warned there are A LOT of photos, so grab a hot cup of coffee or tea or cocoa and settle in for a little trip to sunny Florida and see how we celebrate a “coastal Christmas” here at Starfish Cottage!)

 Our tour starts in the Family Room/Kitchen area…where I used mostly whites and neutrals with a touch of red and coastal blue.  I also incorporated lots of greenery, holly berries, pinecones and of course, STARFISH!

Since my formal Living and Dining Rooms are still in a blue and white color scheme, I thought I would just add simple natural, neutral accents to the blue and white, and it turned out beautiful.  I used items like evergreens, pinecones, bare winter branches, burlap ribbons and of course, seashells and starfish and coral!

Sometimes  we “overthink” our holiday decor, I believe simple items from nature are the most beautiful!

Here are some photos of our living room and dining room and entry…
