Hello friends! It's hard to believe it is time once again to post my holiday home tour! I have been hard at work getting our home ready for the holiday season and I'm happy to report that I think we're ready. Keep in mind, our house is full of kids and a spoiled dog and I hope that my photos reflect that, while I may clean things up *a bit* for pictures, a real family lives here so nothing is perfect. Let's start in our mudroom which is the space we all enter our home through and where our dog, Dax, is always waiting to greet us.
When I saw that Big Lots had a few Golden Retreiver items this year, I headed straight to the store to grab some. I think they add the perfect personal touch to our home for the holidays!
The Golden holiday pillow and mat are new along with the plaid wreath from TJ Maxx. The small sleigh rides crate is from the Target Dollar Spot and the metal tree sign is also from Target. Everything else is from past years.
Just off the mud room, you enter our family room. This is the spot where we hang out the most during the holiday season. I kept the colors classic this year with lots of red and green and plaid.
Our Balsam Hill European Fir is in this room this year. This is my very favorite Christmas tree, it is big and full and screams Christmas! any place you put it.
On the mantel, I added a couple of birch deer (new this year from Lowes) and a pretty new garland. The garland came pre-lit from Marshalls and then I added some matching ribbon that I also used on the tree along with more lights, pine cones and berries. I think that's the secret to store bought garland, keep adding layers until it feels like your own something special. I will probably even add some fresh garland in as it gets closer to hosting guests over the holidays.
We have a new sign in this space this year from
Gray House Design Company. I think it ties together the space so well.
Next let's head up the stairs through our front entryway.
I love adding pops of red in this space with the blue painted walls.
Our living room is a brighter space that is connected to our kitchen and I enjoy having a more whimsical feel to this space at Christmas.
The other side of this space is our kitchen and dining room area and I will be sharing that along with our master bedroom and bathroom in part 2 of our holiday home tour.
Thanks for stopping by today. Happy Holidays from our home to yours!
