Holiday Home Tour – Christmas in the Kitchen

Holiday Home Tour – Christmas in the Kitchen

Good morning everyone! I must admit I’m definitely feeling festive and really starting to get in the holiday mood! Thanksgiving was last week, and I’ve been busy finishing up the decorating over the last few days. (Which also means I now have permission to blast Christmas music daily!) And I’m excited to be joining 14 fellow bloggers for a Holiday Home Tour today! These holiday home tours are definitely my favorite posts to do all year. Not only do I love decorating for the holidays, but I get so much inspiration and sheer joy from looking at all the other houses dressed up, too! If you’re coming here from Kathleen at Lindsay Hill Interiors, thanks so much for stopping by. Kathleen has the most beautiful taste, and her Christmas decor is no exception! read more

Home for the Holidays Blog Tour – Maison Style

Good morning friends! I am so happy to be part of another Holiday Home Tour! If you’re a regular reader, you know that this is my second tour of the season (my first tour can be seen here). And if you are coming here from my talented friend Kathleen at Lindsay Hill Interiors, thank you! I’m so glad you’re here! This time fifteen bloggers (yes, 15!) have collaborated to bring you a =&0=& blog tour where we have each decorated our homes for the holidays in our own personal style. From mod, to chic, to transitional, to French country, to farmhouse – there is a style here for everyone! So come on in, take a look around, and get inspired. Also, we have some =&1=& =&2=&news to share! King of Christmas, who is one of our sponsors for this tour, has kindly agreed to giveaway a Christmas tree (details about that at the end of post)!! I know there are a ton of tours this time of year, and I am so thankful that you’ve decided to stop by ours…… Welcome!
The boxwood wreaths are from Target and the fresh garland and poinsettia are from Home Depot. Other boxwood wreath options available here, here, here, and here.
On my first tour, I shared with you how I’ve been wanting to switch to a more neutral and natural Christmas, which for me meant getting rid of the red. I have used greens, whites, creams, and gold and silver as my colors of the season. I love that they convey Christmas without being over the top. I’m a huge fan of bottlebrush trees; both vintage and new. I’ve collected them for a few years now and I usually add a couple new ones each year. This year I couldn’t find any vintage ones (so far!) but I did get a few new ones. The ones I purchased at World Market are here, and there are also options here, and here.I adore mercury glass ornaments and use them in my holiday decor quite a lot. I’ve found some sources for mercury glass ornaments here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. I love the shimmer they give! In the dining room I again used the mercury glass ornaments, just laid on the table with simple greens I clipped from my yard. My collection of vintage ironstone mixed with new white dishes is always in the dining room china cabinet, but this season I added some green vases to celebrate the season. And a tiny boxwood wreath! Similar here, and here. Last year when I began the process of changing to neutral colors,  I purchased new stockings. I can not tell you how excited I was to find these! First of all, I adore burlap, and on top of that, they actually had all the letters that I needed for our names! I found a few similar options this year here, and here. These vintage looking Santas are another favorite of mine! They are a mix of Home Goods finds with ones purchased at a local antiques store. However, I’ve found them a little more difficult to find this year! I did find some great options here, here, here, and here, and adorable ornament versions here, and here. I just love their old-fashioned charm! More mercury glass balls in a vintage silver plate bowl. Mercury glass trees mixed with fresh and faux garland decorate the mantel. I added some pine cones that I collected. Mercury glass tree options here, and here. An old Restoration Hardware wreath hangs on the mirror over the mantel. I filled a chippy French urn with white hydrangeas and some greens from Trader Joe’s. I love to mix fresh flowers in my decor no matter what the season. The urn and the pedestal bowl are both vintage. But since vintage ones are so difficult to find, here are a couple reproduction versions that give a similar look here, here and here. And the central feature of the room is the 9 foot tree so generously provided by our sponsor, King of Christmas!  In the past, I’ve had a live tree in here and a small faux one in the family room. But when I found out that King of Christmas was going to provide us with a tree, I thought I should get one a little taller than we’ve had before and put it in the room that gets seen the most, which is the living room. And I am so happy with how real it looks! Also, this tree was super easy to set-up. We literally took it out of the box and set it up in a matter of ten minutes. And it has a nifty little pedal that you step on to turn on the lights. No more digging around under the tree for the plug… genius! Last year was the first time I’ve ever used wrapping paper that matched my decor, and I have to say, I’m hooked! I can’t believe I used to have a million different patterns under the tree. Now I use mostly craft paper, with just a few papers that have the greens, golds and creams mixed in and I love how it looks. It is just a simpler, quieter look that really speaks to me right now. And believe it or not, I’ve never done garland on the stairwell before. This is a first for me! These were from Trader Joe’s and I simply added the burlap ribbon.

A Farmhouse Christmas Home Tour

A Farmhouse Christmas Home Tour

Today I am opening my doors and sharing my home all decorated for the holidays as part of the Farmhouse Christmas Home Tour! I am one of ten bloggers participating and I couldn’t be more excited!  I absolutely love decorating for Christmas. It is definitely something I look forward to, and this year, I really wanted to make a change. I have been loving neutral Christmas decor for awhile now (see my post about that here), and during last year’s tour I talked about my desire to do mostly creams and greens and get rid of the red, so that is what I’ve done this year. It’s such a big change for me! Not only have I always had a lot of red at Christmastime, but I’ve had red in the family room/kitchen area for about 15 years now. And I have to say, I’m loving the result! It’s such a subtle and peaceful look, it really relates to how I’m feeling decor-wise right now. I’m into simplifying in general, and the softer colors of greens, golds and creams fits that. I still love red and white for Christmas, and I’m sure I will do it again, but for now, this has my heart:) The neutral farmhouse Christmas vibe is just speaking to me right now!  For those of you who’ve followed me for awhile now, you know that I try not to buy too much new every year. Much of what I have is something we use over and over; ornaments and decor that we’ve used year after year. I love the traditions that the season brings, and the meaning that those traditions bring. In order to achieve the new color palette, I simply eliminated the items I had that were red; I only had to buy a few new items to fill things out. So welcome to our home, and come on in!

Farmhouse Inspired Christmas Tour

I used a live tree in the family room with a burlap tree skirt. This little cabin/house was a find this year at Home Goods. I have bought and collected the little white houses before, but for some reason, this just spoke to me! The frosty white trees are old but these are almost exactly the same!

The urns are Pottery Barn.

A vintage bottlebrush tree in a little vignette with some books and my absolute favorite Christmas candle, Joie de Noel by Votivo. My bottlebrush trees are in every room and I have both vintage and repro – I love both! read more

Holiday Home Tour – Part II

Holiday Home Tour – Part II

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the first part of my Holiday Home Tour, I really appreciate all of you taking the time to visit! The reason I split my tour into two parts is that the two areas of my house are decorated so differently, they just didn’t seem to belong in the same post. read more

Holiday Home Tour – Part I

Holiday Home Tour – Part I

Today I am opening my doors and sharing my holiday home decor with you as part of the Holiday Home Tour hosted by The Avery Grace! I am one of eighteen bloggers and businesses asked to join and and I am so thrilled!

I absolutely love decorating for Christmas. Growing up I couldn’t wait for the season to start, and I was usually the one bringing out the bins from the attic and putting out the decor. Christmas has such warm memories for me, and part of my decorating is not only to celebrate the season, but also to hopefully create those same warm memories for my own children. Much of what I have is something we use over and over; ornaments and decor that we’ve used year after year. I love the traditions that the season brings, and the meaning that those traditions bring. So welcome to our home, and come on in! read more
