2024 CHRISTMAS HOME TOUR || LIVING ROOM AND CHRISTMAS TREE

Merry Christmas, friends!  I'm so happy to be sharing this year's Christmas Living Room and Christmas Tree tour with you today.  Are you still hustling and bustling?  If so, I'm right there with you! We'll start with the first of our Christmas celebrations tomorrow and continue through the week with various family gatherings. I hope even in the midst of the busy-ness you're able to have some quiet moments here and there to truly enjoy the season and reflect on our Savior's birth.  I always say we're celebrating the biggest birthday of them all, so I want my Christmas home to reflect the happiness and cheer of the good news that Jesus is born! Today's tour almost didn't happen and I apologize for the lateness of the post.  I intended to be sharing this with you last week but has some technical difficulties!  I told you that I worked to get all of my photos taken before we left on a short little Christmas trip.  I intended finish up my editing and post......

2024 CHRISTMAS HOME TOUR || ENTRY

Happy Wednesday!  How can we be just one week away from Christmas???  I can't believe this time next week we'll be in the thick of celebrating.  Thank you all so much for your kind comments on my Christmas home tour so far, today I'm sharing our Entry with you.  I actually shared this space before Thanksgiving on Instagram so if you follow there you might have seen it already.  But of course after I posted it there I changed and added a few things, so here's what I ended up with!  You'll probably see my big stars in this spot every year- I love the color and interest they add to an otherwise blank space.  I've bought most of mine at Ikea over the years and occasionally there will be a year when Target carries some.  They are usually just come in white or gold, though, so I've spray painted several of mine.  Multiple very light coats is the key, and by the time you've had them hung for a month they are plenty dry and cured to fold up and store......

2024 CHRISTMAS HOME TOUR || DINING ROOM AND CHRISTMAS TABLESCAPE

It's the craziest  most wonderful time of the year... right??? Amidst all of the hustle and bustle I hope you are having some moments here and there to slow down and take in the wonders and small delights of the season.  Today I'm happy to be sharing this year's Christmas Dining Room and Christmas tablescape with you.  As usual, there's no lack of color or pattern!   I love adding pink poinsettias to my Christmas table, I somehow missed the medium size that I like this year and could only find one, so I filled up the rest of the center with loads of tabletop trees- I made the green ones and a friend was giving away the gold ones- love! The others are a variety that I've collected over the years.   I always add some ornaments to the teacups inside my China Cabinet, but this year I decked out the top, too!  The large "bows" on the brass ginger jars are more of the satin table runners (I bunch them up just like a ribbon bow and tie the middle with a ......
