Our Christmas Home Tour – Holiday Housewalk

Our Christmas Home Tour - Holiday Housewalk

Hello friends and welcome to a very special day here on the blog, one of my favorites and it is all a part of Jennifer Rizzo’s Holiday Housewalk tour! These tours are so very special, as they give you a look into many lovely homes and you can leave with loads of inspiration. These tours are all things “home” and exactly what you dream up for Christmas decor. I am honored to join and so happy to get to share with you! If you are visiting from my sweet friend Lauren at Blesser House welcome! Lauren is a DIY genius and has such a beautiful way with her home…

Our Christmas Home Tour - Holiday Housewalk

And without further ado, here is our Christmas home tour all decorated for the season!

Our Christmas Home Tour - Holiday Housewalk

I like to pretend that this tour would greet you as if I were welcoming you at my door, which is exactly where we will start =). Right here where our little home begins…

Again, I know you have heard me say it before and I will say it now, I wanted simple this year. And so simple it was! Fresh greenery hung above the doorway with some smaller trees flanking the entry. A wreath finishes the look off with a few darling brass bells.

Right inside our front, door you find your way into our formal living room (which I will be sharing more in the future). But there is this sweet little corner where I can get some work done. My hubby and kids use it quite often too. All I did here was place some fresh cut greens in a vase. Just that easy!

As you make your way down our very long hallway, you will enter into the kitchen. Where I like to display my favorite flowers and have a candle lit to add that extra ambience.

This particular day that I was photographing our home, the sun was out and bright, making everything extra golden and magical. Garland was the only thing I really added in this room and it was just the right touch.

Across from the kitchen is our sunroom. I have changed things up a little in here and am enjoying the new look. I did add an extra tree in here because the room is super long and I felt this would be a fun twist to the traditional arrangement we have had the past 9 years.

This tree matches the one that is set next to the fireplace, filled with metallic ornaments and some newer special ones to carry us through the years to come. The beginning of a tradition I was excited to start this year.

We have everything from shimmery Santa Claus’ to Golden dinosaurs hanging on both.

My kids are loving it and so are the hubby and I!

Who can blame them when a t-rex stares you down from these twinkly branches, haha.

The trees are kitty cornered making them mirror each other nicely.

My littlest has loved pulling an ornament off the tree and playing with it, only to return it later and admire it some more.

Less details overall this year than years before, but just as precious. Like these darling bells hung from the garland. I noticed my friend Lucy at Craftberry Bush had put these tiny twinkly lights on her garland, so I went and grabbed some myself. It adds just the perfect amount of light to the area!

I have especially treasured the tree next to our fireplace, amongst the glow.

And here is a peek into our family room space. All cozy for Holiday movies and memories to be made.

My daughter has been asking to take pictures more and more and I will admit, my heart melts a bit that she enjoys trying to learn something that she sees me doing. Here is a pic she got as my tripod was set up and my oldest read his new library book to me.

By the tree is truly the best place to be.

Thank you so much for visiting with me and what a compliment that you would tour our home. A very big thank you to Jen at Jennifer Rizzo for hosting! Please make sure to follow along with the tour. Kristen from Ella Claire is first up tomorrow, so make sure to check back and see her gorgeous home!

    Simply stunning Annie! And what a wonderful thing having your daughter take a picture (and placing it in this post)… it’s the moments, the memories that make this whole space come to life.

    You have a beautiful home and just enough Christmas to take it over the top. Love the look of the table and different chairs and bench.

    Your trees are lovely. I love the room between the branches that lets the ornaments really shine. Are they real

    Did you spray paint the t-rex? My grandson loves dinosaurs. Wanted to get him some dino ornaments for his tree.

We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (sh We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (shared it in stories today) and I can’t tell you enough how nice it is to hear that pretty little sound 🎵 ... I love wind chimes, chirping birds and dripping fountains... So you can imagine how fun it has been to be inside with the windows open and hearing all if those noises at once 💕. This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!
One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 Bu One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 But in stories I am sharing some tips and tricks for storage in a small bathroom like ours! I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕
I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and adding some fun wall treatments/trim... I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
