Hello, dear friends and welcome to the Storybook Cottage All Is Calm and Cozy Bedroom.
Since October I have been working 12 hours days and truly needed a calm and quiet space to retreat to.
All Is Calm Cozy Bedroom
At my end of the bed is a sweet stocking from Christmas past made from a vintage pillowcase. It nestles against the pom-pom garland that I was thankfully able to repair after our new doxie, Gracie, tore it to shreds.
On my nightstand is a sweet ceramic angel that belonged to my mother Karen. It plays “Silent Night”.
Mr. Decor’s corner bedpost is embellished with a patchwork lace stocking I made a few years ago.
His nightstand was simply decorated with a pair of kissing angels that belonged to my Grandma Mary and Papa Jack.
Feeling Festive
The top of his dresser feels festive with vintage gift boxes and dollar store Christmas trees.
The sweet settee needs very little decoration.
I just turned the floral pillow, last seen in the guest bedroom, to the backside. The print reminded me of snowflakes. A cozy throw and silk stocking complete the vignette.
The big dresser is draped in the wiener wonderland table runner I made last year.
Silly Sequins
It still makes me smile.
The runner is topped with holiday glitter houses made a few Christmases ago.
Santa is so sassy in his gold glitter suit.
May your days be merry and bright!

Beautiful and inviting. 🙂 I LOVE the tray idea for the little vintage houses. I might incorporate that NEXT year, since I already have everything set up.
Love, Linda

Your calm and cozy room is lovely. The stocking on the bed post brought back a memory. My mother wanted to continue that charming tradition when we were kids, but I was too scared of Santa coming into my bedroom at night. You must be braver!
Stacey says
I love the Christmas touches you’ve added to that beautiful bedroom of yours, Laura. That settee is just amazing with the elegant monogram. Gracie is such a doll. 🙂
Lavender Dreamer says
How beautiful and what a wonderful room to relax in! I may try to make a little scene on a silver tray….I love yours! Happy holidays sweet lady! Hugs!
Andrea at Opulent Cottage says

Adorable. I’m so glad to see the turquoise runner is displayed this year. I love your new bedding. Thanks for being a part of our tour.
Cecilia says
Laura, we must be kindred spirits ~ I just made a sign for my bedroom with the same lyrics from Silent Night and am sharing a similar wreath in my post Wed 🙂 I adore all of your cozy holiday accents and am pinning! Blessings, Cecilia
Cindy says
What a gorgeous and perfectly cozy space Laura! Your vintage touches are so cute and I love the memories you shared 🙂
At Rivercrest Cottage says
You have such a lovely home! Your photo of your little dog really made me smile today, just like last year with the photo of your two dogs in collars. I’m looking for two to adopt myself, probably because yours are so darn cute.
Cindy Richter says
I would love to stay and relax in that wonderful bedroom although, I may never want to get out of bed! Cute ideas. I’m on the hunt for pom pom garland! Already pinned. Excited to be on the tour with you. Merry Christmas
Cecilia says
Your bedroom looks very serene. I love the wiener dog runner too – it’s so cute! Glad you were able to repair your pom-pom garland. 🙂
hugs,
Cecilia
jeanie says
It’s so pretty, Laura. And you are right. A very calm sanctuary (apart from Doxie-dining-delights!). I’m glad you could repair it — looks perfect at the end of the bed.
I’ve been playing with something similar with the tray with snow and little trees. I’m in love with little trees and yours look so very pretty!
Nice memories here with special treasures. Perfect!
Dixie Lee says
Laura, my mother had that same angel that plays Silent Night. She loved music boxes. Oh, and we had the kissing angels too. Stranger than fiction!
Laura says
Your home and Cozy Christmas bedroom are lovey as always.
Enjoyed visiting,
Laura

Very pretty – really like the ‘repaired’ pom pom garland and stockings at the foot of the bed. Great soft colors you accented with as well.

Gracie is too cute!
Jann Olson says
Laura, what a beautiful and serene place to get away from the hustle and bustle of this busy time of year. I love the stockings and your inherited vintage treasures! The village and runner that you made are just precious. I would be spending lots of time in there if I were you!
hugs,
Jann

OMGoodness how can you not love that runner? I really do like the pretty bedroom…it is cozy and festive!
Debbie - Mountain Mama says
I’m the same as you….even though I have color everywhere else in my house, my bedroom is very serene and simple. I work full time as well, and need a restful spot to lay my head at the end of a long day. Your bedroom looks lovely! Just the right amount of festive touches – love that little sparkly village!
Kendra @ www.joyinourhome.com says
So many pretty, festive touches! Love your bedding… looks so cozy! Fun to be on this tour with you!
auntie em says
Your bedroom is so calm and peaceful! It looks like a beautiful calm oasis for company…or maybe even a nap or two for yourself away from the hussle and bustle of the season when things get overwhelming. The little touches and ornaments are so sweet and I love that so many have a charming story to go with them or a personal reason to be part of your collection.
Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
auntie em says
I am so sorry! I read your post wrong and thought that this room was your guest room. To have this room for your own place to rest and restore yourself makes it even sweeter. <3
Amy @ Ms. Toody Goo Shoes says
Your bedroom is beautifully serene with it’s cozy creams and little splashes of color. Lovely!

I truly do not know how you accomplish all that you do, but you certainly are successful at all of your endeavors. Your home looks so charming and it is indeed serene and restful. Thank you for giving us a peek at your Christmas nest.
Jemma says
Merry Christmas Laura!
Such a lovely bedroom and the colors are so soothing and inviting. You area such a darling and talented woman.
I so enjoyed meeting your dear daughter and visiting with you this past week. I am admiring my spool Christmas decoration right this minute and the darling handmade pin too. Thank you for these precious keepsakes.

I love the tray with the village. So sweet and pretty! Thank you for sharing! Have a Happy Holiday Season! Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
Botanic Bleu says
Laura,
Gracie is looking very innocent in the photo with her turquoise bow. Surely it must have been some other doggie that sneaked in and made havoc of your pom pom garland. Your pom pom garland is adorable, and I can see why Gracie (or strange doggie) was fascinated by it.
Your home is always lovely. Every time I see the monogrammed upholstered love seat I love it. You are such a talented seamstress.
I enjoyed visiting with you and your daughter, Lou, this week.
Merry Christmas,
Judith
Magali@TheLittleWhiteHouse says
Through all the post I thought my favourite thing was the pompom garland which is so cute and then came the picture of Gracie adorned with ablue bow… Merry Christmas!
Carol says
Such a lovely & cozy Christmas bedroom without being over-the-top….so sweet.
