Welcome! | Christmas Special
[Welcome to our home Christmas tour!]
It’s been a busy Christmas season around here, but we wanted to take a moment to show you something besides our designs and Christmas cards! So, welcome to our home! Character Eight is a creative design company run by a husband and wife – Bryan & Denae Haley – and currently all of the creativity comes to life in the tiny office inside this Michigan home. If you’re unfamiliar with the story of Character Eight and our family head over to our About Us page, we’d love to introduce ourselves!
Christmas is our favorite holiday and we often put the tree up and begin decorating before the snow falls and Thanksgiving rolls around. Since we work on design projects for Character Eight from our home office, we really wanted the place to be festive this year! We travelled to several stores to find the perfect blend of holiday decor and would like to take a moment to welcome you into our home and show you around.
The theme throughout the house this year is buffalo plaid. Our awesome stockings, Merry Christmas basket, and Joy wall hanging were purchased at JoAnn and our festive couch pillows and tree ribbon were purchased for a great price at HomeGoods. The buffalo plaid blanket on our love seat was a Christmas gift from a few years back that fit perfectly with our theme. The lanterns and other various decor pieces are from our new favorite place, the Christmas Tree Shop! They have great deals on home decor for Christmas and every other time of the year. To complete the theme I ran out and picked up some buffalo plaid wrapping paper from Target and officially welcomed Christmas into the home.
Our tree and new red and silver bulbs were a pre-thanksgiving find from the Martha Stewart line at Home Depot. It’s our tradition to buy one ornament that represents something we experienced in the past year. Right now we’re working with 4 years of ornament memories. 2015 still isn’t represented, but once we find the right black lab / pit bull ornament Ace will be on our tree. 2016’s representation is still undecided :/ but I’m sure we’ll find something before the holiday comes to a close! Any suggestions?!
Thanks for stopping by our home and learning more about us. If you have any design or marketing needs don’t hesitate to ask! We’d love to help you share your story.
Merry Christmas from our family to yours,
Bryan & Denae Haley + Ace
