holiday housewalk LizMarie blog 2 2015.jpg

Hello friends from Liz Marie! I bet your coffee’s still hot and you’re so ready to continue this tour! I know you just came from one amazing tour from Liz so I’m so excited to be joining Jen’s Annual Housewalk this year and show your our space! Each year I enjoy walking through some of my favorite bloggers homes during Christmas. It’s such a magical time and I love sharing how my family and I celebrate and decorate! So come on in, and I’ll show your few spots of our Christmas home this year….

Entry/Living/Dining Room


These three spots in our home are all combined. So it’s just one big room when your first walk in. In our front room I decorated the entry wall  with garland and oversized pinecones that hang from wide buffalo check ribbon.

To the left is our formal living room and dining room. This year I decided to go with a cozy Christmas Cabin feel for our tree and decor. You can get all the detail on the tree here.

I used different textures in a neutral color palette to bring the entire look together.

The sofa is full of black and white pillows and soft blankets for cold those colder nights. Even though I have a faux fireplace, I love the way our stockings hang from the mantel! I love how the winter prints help set the mood. I joke with my hubby that as soon as I put it up, I felt the room drop about 10 degrees.

The stockings are hung with simple nails and covered with more flocked garland. I used letters from the dollar bin at Michaels to help me label each one of the stockings. Shutterfly Mantel_-3

The cozy cabin feel continues into our dining room. I collected these trees from my local craft store and lined them up for a forest like centerpiece. I even perched pine cones upright and attached a bow and bells to them. A simple craft you can complete this season too!  Christmas Decoration tABLE Ideas

Before you turn into the hallway you run into this adorable fresh tree from Joss and Main. It’s actually my FIRST real tree! I got these olive buckets from a vintage market this year and I KNEW I had to sit these beauties in them. Look out for the other one below! Christmas Decoration Ideas-26

Family Room


 Around the corner is our family room.

Christmas Garland from Michaels Stores Our family room is decorated in mostly whites and silvers for the holidays. Our flocked tree takes center stage. This is where Christmas happens each year, where gifts are stacked up the night before Christmas and we all layout on the sofa and watch each other every Christmas morning. I think that’s why it’s my favorite room in our entire home. It’s a room that holds so many happy Christmas memories!

Master 

Another decorated part of our home is our master bedroom. We have a pretty big room so we are able to have a nice seating area and even a small pencil tree in the corner to make things festive in there.
