Holiday Home Tour 2019: Glam Vintage Christmas Pantry

Today I’m sharing my very vintage holiday pantry decor. I seem to do basically the same decor in here every year but this year I just loved this space even more for some reason (despite having a debacle with my pre-lit tree that seriously delayed finishing this space up!)! I think the addition of some of my favorite vintage pieces, like my Santa cookie jar, to the dark green shelves in here made the space extra special. I love all the vintage touches and more traditional red and green in here which I don’t have as much of throughout the rest of the house. As always I added plenty of vintage ornaments and garland to our antique chandelier which is the centerpiece of the room!

Holiday Home Tour 2019: Southern Vintage Christmas Nursery

I absolutely love getting to decorate JW’s room for Christmas each year! Last year I got this cute little tree at Target and it has been perfect for his room. I display all my childhood ornaments on it and some other fun little additions I’ve picked up to add the last couple of years (lots of Disney and keepsake!). This year we also added a cute little train around the bottom of the tree, Christmas tree pillow on the rocker, and a smaller tree near his book nook. One of the first things I did come November was switch out all his books in his reading nook for Christmas books. We have so many I’ve been collecting that it’s easily filled up with just those! This room makes me happy every time I walk in and JW too!

Holiday Home Tour 2019: Modern Farmhouse Christmas Kitchen

My kitchen is always one of my favorite areas to decorate for the holidays. This year I did a more neutral color scheme in here of all white, black, and pops of green. Our beautiful real tree and garland on the fireplace is courtesy of Hillenmeyer’s Christmas Shop and are definitely the highlights of the space. The quality of the greenery and our tree are above and beyond what I have gotten before at other stores and our tree still looks just as full and healthy as it did when we first got it! Not only is the quality top notch, but the experience you get at Hillenmeyer’s is just completely magical and so special! Every corner is photo worthy and they really put so much effort into making it a beautiful and inspiring space for all who visit. I can’t thank them enough for collaborating with me this year and making my Christmas decor a little more special.

Holiday Home Tour 2019: Modern Cabin Entryway

The first room I’m sharing on this year’s holiday home tour is my entryway! This room recently got a little revamp as I added a new console table and redid the area above it as well with a new mirror + sconces (using the magic light trick!- more to come on that later). I used a bit of my more colorful decor in here this year including my vintage stocking, skis, red beaded garlands, and some vintage-inspired pillows. I love the pops of color with all the black and white, more modern items that are usually in here- like the rug, table, sconces, etc.

Holiday Home Tour 2019: Master Bedroom

Bedrooms can be extra magical when decorated for Christmas and the epitome of cozy! I love adding a small tree and some twinkle lights to our bedroom every year. The antlers above our bed made the perfect base for layering a wreath (this gorgeous fresh wreath is courtesy of Hillenmeyer’s Christmas Shop) and stringing some bulb lights, and I also added some fresh garland along the top of the headboard too. I also usually switch out our bedding for the winter and add some heavier layers, like this velvet quilt, and mix in some faux fur and wool pillows too.

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!
