Christmas Home Tour: Entry & Living Room

December 11, 2015 By Linda 15 Comments

 
Welcome to my holiday home tour!
 
Front Door Decorated for Christmas With Snowflakes and Wreath
 
 
If you’ve been following along the 2015 Christmas Home Tour organized by Marty at A Stroll Through Life (thanks Marty for inviting me this year!) then that means you’re arriving from Remodelando La Casa. Welcome! And don’t you just love Cristina’s gorgeous home and beautiful Christmas decor? Amazing! She’s truly an inspiration!

 

 
 

My plan is to let the pictures do the talking. Because, quite honestly, I’m pooped. And my contact lenses are drying up on my eyeballs (lovely visual, right?).  It’s a combination of Christmas decorating and picture editing fatigue.

 

 
But let’s kick this off at the front entry. Where you’ll be greeted by this …

Garland Decorating with Ornaments
 

Garland on the staircase decorated with twinkle lights and ornaments.

It puts a twinkle in my eye (hey, I told you I was tired).

 I’ve also hung the red and white stockings with care.

I’ve added the wreaths to my pictures with some red and white ribbon.

 

 
 
Wreaths on Pictures
 
And I kept the side tables pretty simple with poinsettias and mason jars.

The other side table was equally as simple. A poinsettia and some books wrapped in brown paper and red and white ribbon.

The last thing to add is the real tree in front of the window that we decorate with ornaments we’ve collected over the years. But I’m waiting for our son to come home from college this weekend so he can participate in the picking of the tree and the hanging of the ornaments.

    I love, love, love your red, so pretty and the garland up the stairs is gorgeous. The tree in the dining room is so pretty and I love that you will have a fresh tree that the whole family will decorate. I love it all and I totally loved your kitchen tour too.
