Marvelous Monday... Palatial Christmas Give Away!

I am soooo very excited, it's the start of a new week & I have a very special Christmas Giveaway for a Special Palatial Living Follower, thanks to the team at Bosco Bear! So I have coined today to be Marvelous Monday for a Palatial Living Christmas!

Red & White 'Merry Christmas' Bunting from Bosco Bear
Marvelous Monday - Palatial Living Giveaway!

Late last week I received a Christmas delivery from the lovely team at Bosco Bear! They have this colourful, cute, and needless to say stylish range of Christmas decals now available in their 2010 Christmas range. Now even though these decals can be found under their 'kids Christmas' Bosco Range - there's no reason why us 'big kids' can't have a little fun too! I have popped my Bosco Bear Christmas decals up, a Red Leafy Tree and some red & white 'Merry Christmas' bunting [will share some photos with you very shortly] and they look so whimsical, playful for all the family and of course for me - stylish - is important too! I also love their 'Christmas Quotes' if trees, wreaths and bunting aren't for you or your home/ office's style. With such a no fuss application these decals can be popped up onto your walls in no time at all, even the little ones can help! And the best part - your walls remain in tact once it's time to bid farewell to Christmas, until another year comes rolling around!

 - Stylish Festive Bunting -
Ready to peel, place & stick onto your wall!

So how to get into the draw to win this marvelous Bosco Bear Red & White 'Merry Christams' Bunting decal valued at RRP $29.95, I hear you ask?

All you have to do is join as a 'Palatial Living Follower' either through Google Friends Connect, or through Networked Blogs [via facebook], And tell me - 'Why You Just Have to Win?', in the comment box accompanied with your city/ country in the comment box. The winning Palatial Living Follower will be drawn Friday night [Australian Eastern Standard time], and will be contacted so it can be sent to a stylish Palatial home!

Good Luck - I can't wait to hear from you! 

Thank You for making your life a Palatial Living one.

Nursery Styling & Decor Ideas...

Since Baby Verity is due anywhere between the next 2 weeks & 4.5 weeks, I have been asked frequently by all who know me - '...how's the nursery decorating going...'! After being in hospital for false labour on Wednesday evening last week [a great test run for darling husband and family!]. I was at least calm in the knowledge that I have already created a fabulous neutral canvas that will be a solid design foundation on which to build more gender specific decor themes around & upon...

Above - Neutral Canvas, a solid colour & design foundation to build upon.

Above - Colour & Design accent ideas for a little man... White, Sand with Navy, Pale Blue, Cherry Red, teamed with Stripes & Nautical influences.

As we decided not to find out what we're having - a little boy or girl, here's a few mood boards I have popped together for our potential baby boy or baby girl! Hope you like them too! I have painted the room walls in Dulux 'Scallywag' Full tint, the trim & door is 'White Canvas' and the furniture is all 'White' - we repainted a timber bookcase that I have had for a number of years in Dulux 'Vivid White' aqua enamel [I don't know why I didn't do it sooner] it looks fabulous! And the rest of the decor is accented with similar hues, with dotted applique, mirco stripes & plains to create a solid colour & design foundation on which to build upon for our impending delivery - a little man or for a little lady!

Above: Colour & Design accents for a little lady...hues of Raspberry, Floss Pink, Pistachio Green with forest friends of stylised owls & squirrels in blossom branches to ticking stripe & gingham bunting.

So when we have settled back home with our Baby, in several weeks time, and we accent the room to his or her decor style, I will post pics of the room to share with you! Hope you like the ideas so far!
