A tour of my French master bedroom decorated for Christmas with simple yet beautiful evergreen and ornaments.
Today I’m participating in the Canadian Bloggers Home Tour hosted by Shannon of AKA Design and Christina of The DIY Mommy so be sure to check the rest of the tours at the end of this post.
I rarely show photos of my master bedroom. I’ve made a few updates recently and decorated it for Christmas so I thought it was the perfect room to share with you for this tour.

If you’ve been a long time reader to my blog, then you might remember this Lion Wardrobe of mine. I haven’t had it up since the old house. The armoire is an antique from Belgium and comes apart in 10 pieces.
It’s so tall that some of the piece at the top was cut off to accommodate 8 foot ceilings (it was cut before I got it).
With the many moves I had a couple of years ago, it got a number of dings in it so I knew the value had gone down and I felt okay refinishing it. While I was working on my book this summer, my boyfriend sanded it down! Everywhere! In every nook and cranny. Then he lightly applied some white wax to it to seal it. I love the natural wood showing through now and not the orange-y coloured stain.
Wreaths hanging on the mirrors with green organza ribbon make the perfect Christmas scene.
On the other side, I have the dresser I painted last year and a mirror from Restoration Hardware. The chandelier is from RH too.
I love this beautiful wooden art piece. It goes perfectly in this room.
The crown above our bed I recently found at an antique store and wrapped twinkly lights around it.
I love a creamy-white bedroom with natural wood. Simple decorations like the wreaths, a few items on the nightstands is all that is needed for some Christmas decor.
The faux fur shams are a perfect winter addition.
Thanks for joining me on this tour today. Don’t forget to tour my Canadian friends’ beautiful homes.

Oh my stars, Jamie your master bedroom is so peaceful – sigh. Those faux fur pillow shams are the perfect cozy touch to your beautiful bed, I bet they are just so soft! And that armoire, swoon! Perfectly refinished a real labour of love! xo I’ve been wondering what to use on my newly acquired pantry door and I think it’s white wax, thank you for that tip!
Thanks Laurie! Yes, love the white wax on the natural wood.
Hugs, Jamie
Such a clean and fresh take on the season. I love all my colours, but your home has such a soothing effect. I would love to spend an evening there and take in all the details. Happy holidays!
Thanks Ariel!
Hugs, Jamie
Wow, it’s stunning, Jamie! That armoire is amazing and so is Aaron for putting all of that work into it! Is he for hire? ha ha 🙂 Our bedroom is top of the list for a little makeover in the new year. Planning light and airy colours too, but who knows what I’ll be feeling then. Have a wonderful Christmas. Hugs, Shauna
Thanks Shauna! I know, he did an awesome job!
Hugs, Jamie

That armoire is beautiful, stunning room!
Thanks Paula!

I love your armoire. It has great detail. I’d love a bed like yours for my guest bedroom. I love the curved top minus the button tufting you usually see. If you find a close option, I’d love to know.
You have just right amount of Christmas in your bedroom. Beautiful!
Merry Christmas!
Hi Joanna,
Thank so much! I’m going to look online for similar beds this weekend and I’ll email you when I find some 😉
Hugs, Jamie
Awww so beautiful and welcoming Thank you for sharing
Thanks Norma!

Elegant to the max! Is that wooden art piece a piece of shisum (speling?) wood. They come from India. It looks like the type of carving and it’s been white wash over the finish.
It might be! It’s from Soft Surroundings and is wood with gold and a white wash over it. It’s gorgeous, isn’t it?
Hugs, Jamie
Ooo la la Jamie! What a lovely bedroom. You’ve shown you don’t have to have six trees to embrace the season. Nicely done. Hugs, Pat @ Bringing French Country Home
haha, no trees in this room! Thanks Pat!
Hugs, Jamie

Jamie, your bedroom looks so serene and lovely! I love, love, love your armoire and how wonderful that your boyfriend did all that sanding! (I don’t think I have the patience.) The wreaths look so festive and pretty. Hope you get some time to enjoy your little sanctuary.
I’m so glad he did it and not me too! So much work. Thanks so much Joann.
Hugs, Jamie
