2014 Christmas Home Tour (Part 2)
Isn’t Christmas one of the best times of the year? And no, not because of the gifts. I love when the house feels warm, cozy and inviting. It absolutely makes me want to stop what I’m doing and just sit. Still. It’s about the real reason for the season. And that’s why I decorate our home.
Today, I’m sharing part two of our Christmas home tour. You can see the first part here. For this part of the tour, I’m sharing our kitchen, living room and breakfast nook!
And can I just tell you how much I love our breakfast nook? It’s the prefect cheery, cozy room. It draws me in every time, but there’s something about it this Christmas…
It’s simple, but so extremely festive…
The lovely Peace on Earth pillow, and red plaid pillows, are from Melissa at Shabby by Melissa. I absolutely love them.
And, I decided the breakfast nook deserved its own tree too…
It’s been a perfect fit for the room, and a perfect place to enjoy a warm cup of hot tea or cocoa…
I seriously can’t even tell you how much I love this room…
The wood candle holder on the back wall was a lucky find. It was absolutely covered in dust, so I was surprised to find how great of condition it was in once it was cleaned up…
And I can’t fail to mention our big, beautiful boxwood wreath. Love, love, love!
Now for the kitchen…
I kept it pretty simple, but did add fresh greenery, a big faux wreath and a small boxwood wreath…
And I moved the shelving unit from the living room into the kitchen. Be still my heart.
It’s such a fabulous place to store my extra dishes, cups and pretty goodies…
And here’s what you see looking from the breakfast nook into the kitchen…
And from the kitchen/ breakfast nook into the living room…
This little dresser is one of my very favorite places to change up for the seasons…
I added fresh greenery, mixed nuts and a cute little chalkboard…
And that, my lovely friends, is our home all decorated for Christmas. I’ve absolutely loved sharing it with you!
Now, I’ll be switching gears and it’s going to be all about The Vintage Whites Market. I do have a few other Christmas-y posts planned, but in between all the Christmas decorating, Anthony and I have been so, so, so busy getting ready. We’ve been building, painting, staining, shopping, prepping, designing and doing our absolute best to get ready for this exciting event. Hard to believe it’s less than a month away. Whoa. We have so much to do, and I have a bunch of things to fill you in on. Soon.
I love your house!! I love the white walls with the wainscoting details. I love the that is gives it so much dimension than an otherwise, plain white wall. It really makes all the greenery pop. I love that wood candle holder that you found! I would die if I found something like that.
How beautiful!
Seriously, can I just take everything from you home and transplant it into mine? I love every single detail <3
That big beautiful boxwood wreath is AMAZING! Sets the stage for the whole gorgeous house tour!
you are so talented at creating such a warm welcoming space!!!
Absolutely LOVE everything about your home, and the warm and cozy feeling it produces. You have WONDERFUL taste and ideas!

Th
Thanks for the super great tour of your home. I love your decor
Your home is the best!! I love every little nook and cranny! I really want to do a plank wall in our house, so that is on my wish list and I may even consider some neat open shelving like you have inspired me with from your dining room! Thanks for the tour, I have enjoyed it and look forward to what you have been creating for the white sale….just exactly when and where is this sale,,,,do you think Alberta Canada is a little far to come for it!!?
Love it all! How did you put your wreath above your range top? Don’t know if the hubby will let me put a nail in ours 😉
Beautiful and elegant. So warm and welcoming. Thank you for the tour. Merry Christmas.
Your home is so cozy & charming. Everything matches so well & the colors & accessories are adorable !

love it all!!!!
I love your home SO much! It’s definitely one of my absolute favorites! Thank you so much for sharing.
Absolutely stunning!
LOVE these pictures!!! I was wondering what your trim color, paint color on the v-match/wainscoting, and the wall color? I can’t wait to read more of your blog!!
THANK YOU so much! The color is Super White by Benjamin Moore. I used the same color on the wall, board & batten and trim. The trim is in a semi-gloss and the wall/ board & batten is eggshell. I hope that helps! 🙂
I found these images on Pnterest and love your style. Where did you get that set of shelves. I adore it in the kitchen and am looking fir something like that. Simple. Good quality wood and pretty. Thank you!
