to take my Christmas Tour today.
I am part of a Christmas Blog Hop, so please make
sure to visit all the other fantastic blog tours
listed at the bottom of this post.
Let's start at the front porch.
This year I hardly used any of our usual
Christmas Decorations.
Christmas Decorations.
I wanted to do something different
and decorate with mostly nature
I stole Evergreen Tree branches from the
forest behind our house.
I also stole real moss
gorgeous red apples from Trader Joes
(which I did not steal)
as you can see I did not go all out on the
Christmas lights either, I am way too lazy.
I love the star in the window at night
Let's go into the kitchen
all neural Christmas accents,
nothing bright and shiny this year
I Love this golden deer pallet art......
Cute mittens keep the candles warm
Another IKEA star in the kitchen window
even the fridge got dressed for the occasion
off to the kitchen nook
I also used branches and apples for the
chaddy and added a string of tiny battery
operated string lights
Now off to the Family Room
I got these gorgeous mercury candle holders and the
string lights on the fireplace from World Market
some hot cocoa and cookies
A lot less Christmas stuff in comparison to previous years,
but I LOVE IT!!!! Sometimes less is more!!
I hope you enjoyed your visit and please
come back soon to visit.

ReplyDeleteYour home is so lovely Christine, as always! I love all the fresh evergreens tucked in so many fun places! Your dining room light with the apples and greenery looks beautiful! And one of my favorites is always your front porch! Thanks so much for joining this tour Christine! It means a lot to have you a part of it!

Your home is just holiday perfect Christine!!!!! I love the apples and of course, love those IKEA stars you have all over! I am sure your holidays will be a very happy one!
ReplyDeleteYour home looks lovely, Christine - so inviting and warm! I love the fresh greenery, Ikea stars, and those comfy, cozy pillows and throws! I always look forward to seeing your seasonal porches - such a treat!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful home! I'm so jealous of your Ikea stars. I bought one last year and it tore when I put it together this year. Ikea is a 5 hour drive from me, so I don't think I'll get another one this year. :( But they look great in your home. Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteYour home is beautiful! I'm loving that reindeer pallet art too!
ReplyDeleteyou done a lovely job for the holiday enjoy thanks so much for sharing
ReplyDeleteIts perfect!! Alot of simple, woodland kinda decorating going on this year and I just love it! Thanks for sharing,,,,I purchased some items from Ikea this year as well, but I think I will have to look for those stars. Very nice touch at night time for sure. The cookie tray looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely touches - love the natural and neutral - the Ikea star is perfect, and the shiney red apples a lovely touch. Visiting for the first time, but not the last! Hi from N Ireland.
ReplyDeleteI love your home! It looks like we have the same style because you style of home is the style I want for my next home. Also, I wanted those stars so bad from Ikea. When I went there I saw them first thing and told my husband I had to have one, or two, or three. hahaha. When I got to check out I couldn't find them anywhere. So I asked and they said that they were all sold out. I almost cried right there. I love them! You use them perfectly and I am kind of jealous, but happy that they are so beautiful in your house!

Christine, you did a beautiful job of using nature, keeping it simple but so very cheerful! Your front porch is so inviting!
ReplyDeleteYour holiday decor is so pretty and festive. Love it. You've done a wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteI went bright and shiny this year, but I am loving how yours is with so many natural elements from nature. That stained piece of wood with the deer in your kitchen is lovely. What a nice tough with the mittens on the candles... and, I was ooh'ing and ahh'ing over your front porch. I am in the Christmas Home Tour, too, Wednesdays group!
ReplyDeleteLove how you mixed the (purchased at Trader Joes, lol) apples with the evergreens. It's such a fresh look. You have so many subtle Christmas touches, yet nothing over done. Gorgeous home!! Pinning
ReplyDeleteI love all the textures, lights, and natural elements in your decor. Very well done. You have a new follower. :)
ReplyDeleteYour simple decorating goes perfect with your decorating style....which I love. The colors are so soothing. Less is definitely more a lot of the time. I have to stop myself from adding, adding, adding!
ReplyDeleteSo inspired by your blog and your home. We just made an offer on a home that I am praying we will get. It has a lot of wonderful things. One being a shed/barn type thing that I can do shows out of. That is my dream to do shabby shows. The house is ok and I can see the future in it. Some things can be upgraded that can be fun but the shed oh my... I look forward to following you into 2015! Blessings. Pam
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Christine.
ReplyDeleteKris
Liebe Christine,
ReplyDeletedu hast alles ganz liebevoll dekorert. Die vielen kleinen Details sprechen für sich.
Ich mag dieses Jahr nur sehr sehr wenig Weihnachtsdeko. Die nächste Woche werde ich noch einige Aufträge abarbeiten und dann beginnt auch für mich die besinnliche Zeit.
Ich wünsche dir und deiner Familie ein besinnliches Weihnachtsfest und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr,
Simone
I really love all your rustic touches!!
ReplyDeleteSusan
Christine, your home looks so beautiful and rustic! I especially love the porch and all the stars throughout the house. Happy to be a part of this tour with you :)
ReplyDeleteYour home looks so beautiful. It seems to be a theme this year to go rustic.....I've noticed a lot of home tours doing a similar thing. I love it so it is nice seing everyone's different ideas.
