Christmas Home Tour 2018

in DIY & Home Decor on 12/03/18

Merry Christmas everyone!  I started decorating early this year for Christmas because… well being a Home Decor Blogger, you kind of have to ha!  I LOVE this time of year and of course, my favorite part about Christmas, second to baby Jesus of course, is the decorating!  This year I have three trees each with a different theme.  Follow along below!

Living Room Tour

Welcome to our cozy living room 🙂  I set up our traditional 7.5 tree from Home Depot in this room.  I chose to decorate our living room in more neutral colors and then gave it festive pops of red throughout the space!

 I found really cute red ribbon and white ribbon at Michael's.   The Christmas bulbs on these trees I have had for five years and I still love them.  I also added some sparkly winter greenery stems to my tree to offset all the plain green branches.  These greenery stems have a sparkle to them that I immediately loved!

Living Room Christmas Tree

Our living room Christmas tree is very traditional and has pops or red and snowflakes.  I used really cute red ribbon, a metallic gold ribbon, and white ribbon at Michael’s to try my hand at the ribbon decorating technique used on Kelley Nan’s blog here.  I think it turned out pretty good!

The Christmas bulbs on this tree are red, white, and green and I have had them for five years and I still love them.  I also added some sparkly winter greenery stems to offset all the plain green branches.  These greenery stems have a white sparkle to them that I immediately loved and knew would be fun to add to this tree!

Stockings

While strolling through TJ Maxx I spotted these wooden stocking holders and couldn’t take my eyes off of them!  I love the white washed look and star shape.  I chose these super soft, neutral stockings because I think they will mesh very nicely with my Christmas decor every year.

Shelf Decor

I also decided to update the shelf decor in my built-ins with a few Christmas touches:

Christmas Cards

Every year after Christmas I take all the Christmas cards I received from family and friends, punch holes in each corner of all the cards and then tie them together with ribbon.  I like to set each year of cards on my ottoman for guest to look at!

Nativity Scene

I put my nativity scene on my hearth.  My God Father and aunt gave me this beautiful nativity scene for Christmas when I was 15 years old!!  So now that I finally have my own home I get to make it a centerpiece of my Christmas decor 🙂

Railing

My ALL TIME favorite garland is this garland from Michael’s.  It is a lighter green and has tiny sparkles!  This garland is on my mantel, staircase and the wreath I made in my Simple DIY Wreath post.

Dining Room Tour

Onto my Dining Room!  I put what I call our family tree in the dining room.  This tree is decorated with ornaments my husband and I have collected over the years that we have been together.  We have an ornament for each year we have been married including a diamond ring ornament to represent our engagement year!  This tree is full of faux poinsettias and red, green and gold bulbs I bought at Michael’s.

Tablescape

My dining room table is always one of my favorite things to decorate 🙂  I went with the neutral Christmas theme here with pops of gold, silver and red.

Informal Dining Room Tour

Moving onto my final and favorite tree.  I have always wanted a flocked tree and finally convinced David we needed one 🙂  I used the ribbon technique I learned from Kelley Nan’s blog with this tree as well along with some champagne colored bulbs.  I just love how it glows!
