Very Merry Classic Christmas Home Tour


A classic Christmas home tour!


Whether you're ready or not, Christmas is right around the corner.  I still have some shopping to do, but at least I FINALLY finished decorating our house, just in time for the Very Merry Christmas home tour.  A huge thank you to Carrie from Lovely Etc. for inviting me to share my home alongside some very talented bloggers.

Also, since Christmas is a time for giving, we joined together to offer one lucky reader $500 in Paypal cash!  You can find all the details on the giveaway and links to the rest of the tours at the end of the post.

Classic red and green Christmas home tour


In years past, I decorated my home for Christmas using blues and greens, which matched our everyday decor.  Now that my home is more neutral, I was able to go a bit overboard with the traditional Christmas colors of red and green.

This is the first year I created a Christmas gallery wall and I have to say, I LOVE it!  

It cost next to nothing to decorate thanks to a free printable, inexpensive flannel, shopping my home and DIY'ing a few projects.

We do get a real tree every year, but it's definitely not show stopping.  My kids do a lot of the decorating and it's full of many vintage ornaments (from my grandparents) as well as a lot of ornaments handmade by my kids.  It's more about the meaning and not as much as the appearance.

I even added a few touches of Christmas to our bathroom.  Please excuse Lena our elf.  She was in the bathroom and we all know you are not allowed to touch the elf :)

Let's move on to the dining room.

I created a super easy centerpiece using a piece of flannel, greenery from our tree and vintage glass ornaments that were once my grandparents.

The kitchen is decorated with my DIY felt trees, a super cheap Christmas tree sign (found at HomeGoods) and a simple wreath that I hung from the window.

Last, but not least is our mudroom.

I added more greenery, a wrapped present and a free chalkboard printable to complete this space.
