Disney Decor Archives - Living a Disney LifeLiving a Disney Life

Home is Where You Hang Your Ear Hat

Some of us go full-on Disney décor. Personally, I find a well placed Disney souvenir or collectible to be enough to bring back a happy memory and remind me that we’ll be back to making more memories in the Disney Bubble in the future. When that post-Disney depression comes on strong, I take a minute to look around my house and that’s all I need to cheer me up. (Henry Jones, Jr. is always available to chase those blues away!)

Marry Poppins is in the foyer.

The poster from 2014’s Food & Wine Festival (in the living room) reminds us of our 25th anniversary trip.

Some of our favorite characters hang out in the kitchen.

Mickey keeps an eye on who’s coming and going from the top of the stairs.

Planning materials are always handy in the library (and Bay Lake Tower is there too). Along with our overstuffed curio of Disney treasures.

Recently I changed up the contents of the built-in shelves in our living room. They’d been full of family pictures forever. Missing Joseph, I decided to turn those shelves into a collection of things we love and I’m super happy with the results.

More than just Disney, each shelf tells a little story. Cardinal baseball and chicken love are also on display. (Pigasus is my spirit animal.)

It’s mostly Disney though for all the usual reasons I’ve detailed here over the years and now because Walt Disney World is where Joseph is…for another three weeks, anyway. (I sure do miss that kid!)

I’ve got an idea. Why don’t you snap a picture or two of your favorite Disney-at-home decorations and share them over on the Facebook page. I’d love to see them!

If you’ve been visiting here a while, you might remember when I talked about adding a little Disney to your day. Being the Disney fans that we are, we do tend to accumulate a few Disney collectibles here and there. I know guests to our home (who know us at all) probably expect to see a lot more Disney than there actually is…Don’t get me wrong! It’s pretty much everywhere, but it’s not as prevalent (or overt) as one might expect. You mostly have to be looking to see it all – but love each and every item we do! And, in the future, there will be more…of course, there will be more.

Disney Around the House

If you’re going to live in an empty Disney nest, I recommend you surround yourself with at least a few special objects, strategically placed, to bring you peaceful Disney happiness during those times when the chicks who have flown the nest are in low-maintenance mode. These are the times you can most enjoy a carefully crafted home environment sans drama (while constantly checking the days on your Disney vacation count-down app). I’ve been experiencing just such an interlude recently and have been thinking about adding a few more pixie-dusted touches here and there. First let’s talk about what we’ve already got & maybe you can help me decide which of our new Disney prints I should have framed next.

Come in through the front door and you’ll notice the Mary Poppins-inspired print Joseph gave Raymond for Christmas. No pics of the living room or dining room which are both Disney-décor free (for now), but in the kitchen – which is certainly the heart of our home – you’ll notice the most Disney love.

The Remy Print we, in a crazy moment of Disney happiness, purchased on a Disney cruise a few years back is near our kitchen table. Of course we have Disney dishes – including (not pictured) salad plates in both white and red. We have some Mickey dish towels and a spoon holder, a Haunted Mansion bottle stopper, and, of course, a selection of Disney coffee mugs and juice glasses. The Disney cookie jar currently stores packets of hot cocoa mix. Mickey is always around, ready to lend a hand!

The Pirates picture Megan gave me for Christmas is in our upstairs TV room. In our library is our curio of all small Disney collectibles. And we even have a Disney junk-drawer for storing some of our pins and new Christmas ornaments (wrapped in tissue paper) that haven’t been added formally to the Disney holiday collection.

Raymond and I picked up a couple-few (that’s the technical term here in the South for two to six items) more prints that we haven’t yet framed. Currently we’re in pre-vacation penny-pinching mode, but when we get back, I want to have one or two of these framed & located in their as-yet-undecided places of honor. We have two kitchen prints (from Food and Wine Festival shopping) featuring Goofy and Donald. A new Mickey picture. And Ursula who will look absolutely fantastic in our upstairs bathroom. Which one(s) should we start with?
