Welcome to my Christmas "Home Tour!" I use quotes because really it's just my front door, foyer and living room. But that's all the Christmas touring there is in my house this year. I didn't buy much for decorating, except for my new 9-foot tree and a few ornaments for it. I tried to use just what I had last year in our old (much smaller) house. And the day after Christmas I plan to hit every store in town for great deals on Christmas decor for next year. I just hate paying full price for something that will be on major sale a week later. You know what I mean??
So without further ado ... my home, all decked out for Christmas.
I recently made this burlap ribbon wreath because my old Christmas wreath is very small and I'm using it indoors this year. I also wanted something that would carry over after the holiday and into the rest of winter. I hope to have a tutorial soon!
You may notice a couple of new things in my living room... Can you spot them?
How about the curtains and my new rug?!? I could not be happier with the rugsusa.com rug I snagged during the Black Friday 75% off sale. It's the Neid Trellis rug in charcoal. I am in love.
I finally finished stenciling the curtains this week. What a job! It took me 6 weeks of starting and stopping to complete this project. I'm so thankful it's finally done. (And I'm excited that my living room is finally pretty neutral, so I can start playing with new pops of color.) Read more about my curtain stenciling here.
This little tree is one of my favorite things in the whole world. One of the most fun traditions each Christmas is unpacking the special ornaments and remembering who gave them to me, or what they stand for. I've had this tree since college (from Target), and it's served me very well for its small size.
My mantel this year is mostly things I already had on hand. I didn't want to spend a lot of money.
I bought the paper mache letters at Hobby Lobby and spray painted them silver. Easy peasy. I also picked up the little bird sitting on the left side of the mantel. I meant to get a closer photo of the mantel, but I didn't, and I'm too lazy to take another one. ;)
You can find this free Christmas chalkboard printable at Love, Pomegranate House. Hip hip hooray for free printables.
Two years ago this coming Saturday, I received the most special Christmas gift. Miss A turns two in two days!!
And there's my Walmart nativity scene. I love that it's the first thing you see when you walk in my house. Jesus is truly the Reason for the Season.
And finally, there's my rustic glam Christmas tree in the dining room. Read more about it here.
Thanks for stopping by my Christmas Home Tour. I loved decorating and showing it off. I can't wait for the day after Christmas, when I can go stock up on great deals for next year.
