Let’s Meet Marly

Hi, I’m Marly! I’m thrilled to join XO Ashley and bring you inside my rustic holiday home. This time of year is my absolute favorite! I love warming up my home withChristmas trees, greenery, and glowing candles and twinkly lights. Every year I come up with a theme for my entire home, and this year I chose to go with a natural and rustic look.

It has been a tough year for everyone and I wanted to remind myself and my family of all the beauty that nature has to offer, even during this uncertain time.

Every time I step outside, I’m reminded how much I love rustic wood tones and enjoy immersing myself in the fresh, outdoor air. I built on that idea and brought all the earthy tones inside this year, to keep a constant reminder that beauty is always all around us.

所以，喝杯咖啡，和我一起游览我们的乡村度假屋吧。

Deck the Halls and Holiday Spaces

We spend a lot of time in our living room, and I wanted to make sure we felt the beauty of nature in this space.

I made a massive DIY Christmas garland to drape across our mantel, which makes me smile every time I see it. To make it, I combined a variety of faux greenery including pine branches, eucalyptus stems and cedar.

I topped off our mantel with a bunch of brass candlesticks and white taper candles. When we’re ready to use our fireplace this year, I’ll use the right-sided square of our fireplace to stack and store firewood.

Our Johnelle coffee table gets tons of use, and it’s one of my favorite pieces in my entire home! I love the rustic brown and grey tones in this piece as well as the baluster-style legs. It is a beautiful piece of furniture and I love being able to style it every season.

This year, to keep the focus on the tree, I kept ourcoffee tabledecor simple using some books, candles and a tray of white ornaments.

Every holiday season our living room turns into a dance party haven. We turn on the Christmas music and dance around this space until our feet hurt. It’s my favorite way to use this space during the holidays.

Create a Seasonal Bedroom

To make our bedroom feel extra cozy and magical, I like to put a Christmas tree in this space. I actually do it every year, and it has become one of my favorite traditions. I decided to keep this tree bare this year because I really like the simplicity of it.

We have the Demarlos bedroom set, which is the perfect backdrop for any type of decor I want to add. To keep with the rustic holiday theme, I added a few black accents, including arched mirrors, acozy throwand DIY tree wall art.

I actually drew these cute Christmas trees using a black marker and stuck them in some frames. It was super easy and budget friendly, and I love how they accent the rest of our bedroom.

在我们的德马洛斯梳妆台上，我用人造绿色植物和蜡烛来保持简单。我最喜欢的使用花环的方法之一是把它挂在镜子上。它做出了如此美丽的声明!在我们的德马洛斯梳妆台上，我用人造绿色植物和蜡烛来保持简单。我最喜欢的使用花环的方法之一是把它挂在镜子上。它做出了如此美丽的声明!

During the colder months, I love adding lots of cozy textures and layers to our bed. Warm blankets, throws and pillows are a must for me!

A Festive Movie Room

We use our basement as our family area, where we enjoy snuggling up, watching movies and reading our favorite books. Every year during the holidays, we always watch “Elf” and read “’Twas the Night Before Christmas.”

在设计地下室时，我的主要目标是为整个家庭创造舒适的环境。我们选择了Chamberly的组合式房间，因为它非常舒适，它足够大，可以让我们所有人分散开来。

这是我第一次为圣诞节装饰这个空间，因为它刚刚完成。我知道我想在这个房间里添一棵圣诞树因为我们在假期里经常待在这里。为了保持我的乡村主题，我添加了桦树蜡烛，保持装饰的中性。我们的“圣诞快乐”标志是这个空间需要的最后一笔。

We are thrilled with how our home has come together for the holidays. The rustic tones and natural elements continue to remind me how beautiful nature is and how much we have to be thankful for.
