Shop my Entry Hall

If you’ve been following along here on Decor Gold Designs, you probably know that the entry hall design of my home was what drew me to our floor plan. It features multiple arches, pendant lights that I love and a large picture window at the end. I started decorating it for Christmas in my mind long before we broke ground on our home four years ago and this is the first time I’ve shared a full entry hall Christmas tour.

8. How to Grow Your Instagram Account

how-to-grow-your-instagram-account

Months before I had a blog, I started my Instagram account. I was looking for a way to connect with others who love interior design and styling as much as I do. It surpassed my expectations and eventually led to this website and blog. It grew from a following of two (my husband and my daughter) to 100,000 in less than a year. In this post, I share my tips to help you grow your own Instagram account and connect with others with similar interests.

Shop my Guest Room

I spent six weeks designing and decorating my guest room. It was truly a labor of love. I was nervous and excited to publish the reveal. Therefore, I was especially grateful for the responses and how it was received. The media partner of The One Room Challenge, House Beautiful, graciously shared my room!

Starting my blog this past February, I could hardly wait to decorate for Christmas this year. It’s my favorite time of the year and I wanted it to be extra special for everyone. Here I share my 2016 Christmas Tour.

2. Dining Room Tour

Shop my Dining Room

This is the place where we gather, laugh and make memories. It’s where we chat with each other, tell stories and play games. Here’s a little unknown fact: I took more time choosing the furnishings for my dining room than for any other space. 聽I also get the most questions about my selections here. To be honest, I think this might be my favorite room in our home.

And the top post of 2016….

1. Is the Family Room Your Shining Star?

Another tour, yes, but also my thought process behind the design of my family room. After the dining room, the family room brings the most inquiries regarding finishes. I hope you like it!

Is the Family Room Your Shining Star?

I think we can all agree at this point that tours do well! I am so glad you like them. While I was looking at my most popular posts, I also noticed that the page with the most traffic on my site was the Home Tour page. From there, you can link to all of the room tours and to recent seasonal tours. Additional sources can be found here.

      Hi Cathy! Thank you so much! The vase is old (at least 15 or more years) but it’s from Pottery Barn. I’m always looking for a similar one to link because so many people ask about it, but so far, no luck. Let me know if you find one. 馃檪
