A Farmhouse Christmas Home Tour
Today I am opening my doors and sharing my home all decorated for the holidays as part of the Farmhouse Christmas Home Tour! I am one of ten bloggers participating and I couldn't be more excited!
I absolutely love decorating for Christmas. It is definitely something I look forward to, and this year, I really wanted to make a change. I have been loving neutral Christmas decor for awhile now (see my post about that here), and during last year's tour I talked about my desire to do mostly creams and greens and get rid of the red, so that is what I've done this year. It's such a big change for me! Not only have I always had a lot of red at Christmastime, but I've had red in the family room/kitchen area for about 15 years now. And I have to say, I'm loving the result! It's such a subtle and peaceful look, it really relates to how I'm feeling decor-wise right now. I'm into simplifying in general, and the softer colors of greens, golds and creams fits that. I still love red and white for Christmas, and I'm sure I will do it again, but for now, this has my heart:)
For those of you who've followed me for awhile now, you know that I try not to buy too much new every year. Much of what I have is something we use over and over; ornaments and decor that we've used year after year. I love the traditions that the season brings, and the meaning that those traditions bring. In order to achieve the new color palette, I simply eliminated the items I had that were red; I only had to buy a few new items to fill things out.
So welcome to our home, and come on in!
I used a live tree in the family room with a burlap tree skirt. Tree star is old from Pottery Barn but these and these are similar.
This little cabin/house was a find this year at Home Goods. I have bought and collected the little white houses before, but for some reason, this just spoke to me! I found some similar choices here, here, and here. The frosty white trees are old but these are almost exactly the same, as are these.
A vintage bottlebrush tree in a little vignette with some books and my absolute favorite Christmas candle, Joie de Noel by Votivo. My bottlebrush trees are in every room and I have both vintage and repro - I love both! Options here, here, here, here, and here.
