Holiday Home Tour


Happy Friday! After today, I'm off work for a week! This holiday season snuck up on me! I usually have the majority of our shopping done before Black Friday and have the house decorated the weekend after Thanksgiving. This year I was way behind, but now our home is decorated and the shopping's done so I can relax and enjoy the week with my family and friends!

 We've been in this home for 10 years and this will be our last Christmas here. We have made so many memories in this home, I made sure I took plenty of photos that we can enjoy looking back at in the years to come. I'm excited to share my home tour with you!


Let's start the tour in our den. This is my home office, where our daughter's homework station is set up and it's also used as a cozy reading room. 



Since this room is mostly used by us girls, I decorated this small tree with
hearts, shoes, presents and a lot of pink!


We host an open house for family and friends every Christmas Eve.
 With all of the baking and cooking, I try to keep my counters open for food prep so most of the decorations are on the windows and above the cabinets.


A festive guest bathroom.


 The tree we picked out this year is perfect! It's 9 feet tall 
and is set up in the great room, where we spend most of our time. I always love the look of trees that are color coordinated or have a specific theme but ours is filled with a random mix of ornaments that we have collected over the years. 



This stick hangs from the ceiling year round. I hang ornaments and mistletoe from it during the holidays, and then photos or banners for birthdays or other occasions. 


Don't you love how cats just make themselves at home?
I just noticed he photo-bombed the photo of our stairway!


That's all for now! I hope you enjoyed my home tour! Happy Holidays!
Linking up with these fabulous bloggers here.

    You have a beautiful home! It is so fun to see a glimpse into other bloggers homes and lives. I love how your kitty photo bombed, mine are always out when I am taking photos for the blog. I love the branch you have hanging and also your den, which is used mainly by the girls. How thoughtful for you to invite family and friends into your home on Christmas Eve!

    What a delightful, cozy, festive, beautiful Christmas Home, Jill. I pinned everything since I love Christmas and gorgeous XMas Homes inspire me so much. It is bittersweet that it will be your final year here. Are you guys changing cities? I love you and your daughter\s feminine, festive place. And your 9 feet tree is gorgeous. I also love themed trees but sometimes trees of everything including many special ornaments come out even more beautiful. I will be sharing my little decorating tomorrow so come join me and I am co-hosting Watcha Wearing Wednesday, also.

    I'm playing catch up on my favorite blogs right now! Your house looks so festive! I love how you put the ornaments under the glass on the coffee table. I know my husband wouldn't let the holiday season go by though without lifting that glass lid and letting the ornaments fall everywhere!! Such a fun idea though!

    I hope you and your family had a very merry christmas! Thanks for joining J and me for the Celebrate Southern Linkup last week! I hope you join us again this week! Cheers! :)
