I have gotten together with other like minded bloggers to share our homes with you. In each tour you will see at least three rooms. When I was a young woman, my grandmother told me to put a bit of Christmas cheer in every room! I have taken that advice to heart.
Come on in, and let's get started on our tour!
Here is our living room, with our tree lit up and the room darkened. See the candles in the windows? I have to have candles. I am so grateful for the dusk to dawn ones! It is so beautiful to see them lit up at night!
The stockings are hung... with the cozy fireplace. The bookshelves are filled with nutcrackers.
Wilson loves sleeping by the fireplace! You can see more nutcrackers by the side of the fireplace and an old Santa (58 years old, to be exact!) He's been a part of my entire life!
Couldn't leave Truman out, he loves the Christmas tree. Here's a better angle of the nutcracker collection, plus Mr. and Mrs. Claus, made for me by a very dear friend!
Our kitchen and dining room are a favorite hang out of our guests. It's where the food and drink is, but also the largest space on the main floor. With a breakfast bar that seats four, an island that seats two and a table that seats eight, it is where our parties flourish!
I love our new dining room chairs! The tree in the center was hand-crafted by a neighbor (he does sell them in his shop!!) and the table is set for a Christmas lunch gathering!
This set of stairs heads up to the upper story which has an office, my daughter's guest room and a loft.
The last room I am sharing is my daughter's bedroom. We call it the guest room, but she decorated it and helped us pick all the colors for the room when the house was being built. So...
The candles in the windows are so beautiful in her room. The tree has a beach feel to it with the starfish and silver ornaments.
This Santa was hand painted by my mother-in-law. It has special meaning to us as our daughter was an ice skater while growing up.
I hoped you enjoyed my "Cozy Christmas Home" and that you will take some time to go and visit all the other homes on the tour! Leave a link to your home tour in the comments and we will come and visit!
I wish my house was decorated better so that I could participate in a home tour. I need to stock up on clearance decorations this year and really go all out next year.
ReplyDeleteI love the pie plate hot chocolate station and the plaid Merry Christmas banner! I bought a plain red & white Xmas banner at the dollar store, but I could probably recreate the plaid one above with scrap book paper for about the same price! Thanks for all of the holiday decor inspiration:)
ReplyDeleteI love your Charlie Brown Christmas plates. That's one of my favorite Christmas movies to watch.
