The Best Holiday Stockings Roundup 2023

One of the most classic (and functional) holiday decorations has to be a stocking! For example, one way that I use my stockings is to hide the battery packs for my twinkle lights strung across my mantle since we don’t have a spare outlet for them. If you haven’t already checkout my over-the-top mantel, you need to check it out over on my Instagram!

Holiday Home Tour 2021: Classically Vintage Christmas Nursery

John Woodford’s bedroom is so nostalgic for me and houses a lot of my keepsake Christmas items, ornaments, books, and stuffed animals from childhood. I wanted to make this space feel as magical as possible and we have so much fun playing with the Santa train, turning on all the lights, and reading books in here. Each year we add a few more fun keepsakes and it just gets better and better. My favorite thing in the space is probably the vintage toy box I use as a tree skirt for his Christmas tree. It ended up being the perfect size and I’m able to use it for storage throughout the rest of the year! I also love the cozy teepee set up full of pillows, Christmas stuffed animals, and Christmas lights!

Holiday Home Tour 2019: Neutral White Christmas Living Room

The next space I’m sharing on my holiday home tour is the center of our home, the living room! This is always one of my favorite areas to decorate and the first space I tackle every year. I love mixing the neutrals and pale pastels in here and lots of textures in the pillows, stockings, tree skirt, and garlands! Especially for your living room, I recommend choosing Christmas decor that will coordinate with your existing decor/colorscheme. It may not end up being traditional Christmas colors, but it will be unique and make the entire space flow seamlessly!
