Welcome everyone! I haven’t shared a Christmas Home Tour post in a long while on here, so I thought this is the year I’m going to do it. The last time I did this was back in 2018 and the post was part of a 5 Days, 23 Homes blog hop. Ohhh, do I miss those days when we had more community on these blogs. I feel like it is all over on Instagram now… which, Instagram is great, but I miss those fun little blog hops we used to do!! That aside, wow… this post took me a lot longer than I thought it would to pull together!
First, we’ll start with the front porch:
I always enjoy decorating this large porch every holiday. I used to have a completely neutral theme, but over the years I’ve aded some more pops of red.
I used to be really into making homemade wreaths, and one of my favorite projects from that phase is this Farmhouse Chicken Wire Christmas Tree wreath. It looks so pretty against our white front door! One thing I love about it is how easy it is to switch up the ornament colors. Originally it was all gold, silver, and white, but I added touches of red when I decided to bring more red accents to our front porch.
These monogrammed footed planters were another DIY I tackled a few years back, and they still tie everything together so nicely. I added mini topiaries dressed up with a festive bow and tiny ornaments in gold, silver, white, and red. I always use the plastic bulk ornaments from Hobby Lobby—they’re lightweight, weather-friendly, and I never have to worry about anything breaking, even on those extra-windy days!
Since the porch is covered, everything stays nice and dry—although the wind does occasionally try to run off with my pillows! I have a shelf ladder from the At Home Store that’s become one of my favorite pieces to style. It’s so much fun to switch it up each season and give the porch a whole new look.
At the far end of the porch, we have a little bench that I love to make extra cozy with a blanket and a few pillows. Here’s a closer look at the pillows on the bench. The red “Merry Christmas” pillow is a Kirkland’s find, the fuzzy snowflake pillow came from Hobby Lobby, and the gold-and-white plaid pillow is extra special—my sweet blog friend Lauren Kim (Mom Home Guide) made it from a Target placemat!

We always set up our Christmas tree in the living room, right by the front window, where it gets the prettiest natural light. This year, I leaned into a mostly neutral palette with a few pops of red to keep it feeling classic but festive. I layered in two different ribbons throughout the tree and added lambs ear garland along with frosted lambs ear clips for extra texture and softness.
I like to refresh the ribbon every 2–3 years, and I always finish the look with a coordinating bow at the top of the tree made from the same ribbon. While our tree is full of sentimental family ornaments, I also mix in a handful of coordinating pieces to give it that cohesive, pulled-together look while still keeping it meaningful.
I found so many beautiful farmhouse-style ornaments at Hobby Lobby, but the tobacco basket ornaments quickly became a favorite. They add the perfect rustic touch and blend so seamlessly with the rest of the tree.

We recently gave this room a huge refresh, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Over the summer, we started by replacing the carpet, which instantly made the space feel warmer and more updated. From there, we added this fireplace mantel from Wayfair, and it truly transformed the room. It’s a substantial piece, but with the large wall and vaulted ceilings, it fits the space perfectly and feels so balanced.
We then hung a picture-frame TV above the mantel—something I’ve wanted for years. I absolutely love how it looks and how it sits completely flat against the wall. Watching Brian figure out all the behind-the-scenes setup was interesting, to say the least, but it was so worth it. This has easily become my favorite room in the house. I love stretching out on our new sectional, turning on the faux fire, and enjoying the glow of the Christmas lights—it’s cozy, relaxing, and exactly the vibe I was hoping for.
Thanks to a collaboration with Slumberland, we were gifted the Delvin 2 Piece Left Chaise Sofa with Ottoman, and it’s quickly become my favorite spot in the house. This couch is so comfortable. I’ve always wanted a chaise, and it’s honestly a dream for stretching out, watching my favorite shows, or even working on my laptop. I need to figure out how I’m going to decorate the wall behind the couch still.
I love switching out the wreath on this door for different seasons and holidays. I made this Tinsel Wreath with a Monogram Initial a few years ago, and it’s still one of my favorites. During the holidays, this door also doubles as our Christmas card display—I tape all of our cards here so we can enjoy them throughout the season.
This console table is a few years old and from Hobby Lobby. Brian gave it to me for Mother’s Day and I just love decorating it! I found this cute snowball garland at Hobby Lobby and I always update the letter board every month. The terrarium is from IKEA and it is so fun to decorate the inside of it!
This is our family room, and one of my favorite little touches is turning on the crackling fireplace on Netflix. The sound, the glow, and the Christmas music instantly make the room feel warm and festive.
I got this oversized mirror tray from Hobby Lobby and it is so fun to decorate this time of year.
Now, let’s move onto the kitchen! Here is how I decorated the little corner nook where I have my coffee area. I used a tea towel as a skirt for the flocked topiary, a ‘Let it Snow’ sign with a bottle brush tree on it from the Target Dollar Spot, then I put one of those tobacco basket ornaments up on the stand with some more bottle brush trees, a metal house below it and an acorn. I just love this little cozy nook!
This is how I decorated the serving area in the kitchen. You know I love my tiered tray!
The glass shelves in our serving area are always fun to decorate. On the top shelf, I styled a plant inside a festive Noelmetal bucket. For the middle shelf, I did a quick DIY using mason jars filled with faux snow and mini topiaries. On the bottom shelf, I added a small snow-dusted wreath from the Target Dollar Spot.
On the other side of the cabinet, I like to repeat the same elements to keep everything feeling balanced. You’ll see another mason jar and mini tree combo, along with a second snow-dusted wreath on this side of the open shelving.
Here are the mason jars that I placed a mini tree in with some faux snow. These were really easy to make and they are perfect for a filler! You’ll see I used two different kinds of mason jars.
I found this adorable ‘Silent Night’ sign at HomeGoods. The day that I bought it, my daughter came home from school with this exact verse for her memory work. What a coincidence!
Hobby Lobby always has THE best fillers! I filled this basket with acorns, ornaments, etc.
I really enjoyed decorating my new two tier stand as well! I had to run to about 3-4 different stores to find items that would work just right in it. It am so particular about it, I have little folded paper towels, etc. under certain items just to get them to stand up at the right depth. I filled the bottom with mini acorns, ornaments, etc., so you can’t see the paper towels! Lol!
Here is a close up of the two tier stand with all of its holiday goodies galore inside of it. If you don’t have a 2 or 3 tier stand yet, GET one! They’re so fun!
Here are some detail shots of items in the two tier shelf:
I found this ceramic Peppermint Chips jar at Hobby Lobby and it is tucked away a bit in the 2 tier shelf, so I wanted to share a photo of it by itself. They also had a Chocolate Chips one.
I’ve been raving about this little tree on my Instagram Stories. I found it at Target and it is just the perfect size! The white color goes perfectly with my kitchen decor. I haven’t seen anything like it, usually these antiqueish trees are green.
I hope you enjoyed my Christmas Home Tour! 🙂 Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas season! FYI, I’ll be taking the next 2 weeks off from blogging. See you next year!
