Christmas at the Ashworth home


Here are some pictures of our newly built home. We moved in about a month ago and all of us were excited for the Christmas holiday finally being settled. As you can tell I am obsessed with the colors blue and green. I have stained all the poppler wood soft blue-grays and white washes. I left the walnut wood on the floor its natural color by only adding a water-base coating to protect the floor. I thought the natural color added the perfect earthiness next to the other color tones of the home. At first my husband was a little nervous about all the blues and greens. I had to remind that the sky is blue, the oceans are blue and the grass is green...do you ever get sick of them?....NO!!! I never knew colors had such an impact in people's lives. All I can say is blue and green make me happy!

I love this vintage Christmas Angel



Happy Holidays!!

  9. Congrats on your beautiful home! I have a question for you...when you say "I have stained all the poppler wood soft blue-grays and white washes", did you do this yourself, or did you hire someone? Would you mind sharing with me what color stain you used on the chest in the first picture? I love it!
