Holiday Home Tour 2021: Retro + Kitschy Mudroom and Laundry Room

The mudroom and laundry room in our home has been where I display all my more kitschy and fun vintage Christmas decor collection over the last few years! I love how the bright colors pop off of the black and white in this room and it’s just a fun and cheerful sight to walk into! This space is multi-functional but very open so I like to keep it looking as pulled together as possible. You can shop my decor and similar items linked below!

Fall Home Tour 2021: Warm + Cozy Autumn Living Room

Our living room is the next space on my fall home tour! I chose to update my fall decor this year by replacing some of the textiles and built-in accessories with items from The Amsden as well as a few other stores, and you can also shop all of these items below! This room is a prime example of how you don’t have to break the bank to incorporate seasonal decor in your home. A few new additions like swapping out vintage autumn landscape prints in my existing frames, swapping a couple of throw pillows for some warmer tones and textures, and adding some new mantle decor (just plain white mini pumpkins!) were all small and affordable changes that made it feel like I had a completely new, cozy fall space!

Fall Home Tour 2021: Welcoming & Warm Vintage Cottage Style Entryway

I’m starting off this years fall home tour with my autumn entryway! If you’ve been following me for the past few months, then you know I just recently redesigned this entire area for the 2021 One Room Challenge. I really wanted this area to be welcoming and cozy but also very unique!

Once I had completed The One Room Challenge, I realized I had even more to look forward to with all of the new possibilities that lay ahead for seasonal decor in my newly designed space! There’s nothing like a redesigned room to provide inspiration and new life to existing seasonal pieces that were packed in boxes awaiting their fall debut. From the colors in the vintage stair runners, to the pattern in the floral wallpaper, I knew these and so many other new details would perfectly compliment my fall decor.

As many of you know, I like to decorate my home using a mix of vintage, new, and custom DIY pieces. Check out the detail shots of both areas below to see how I used a mix of these items to style my entryway for fall. I will also link as many exact items as possible for y’all to shop, but since many pieces are vintage or one-of-a-kind, I will link a few similar options too! I hope you gain some inspiration for your fall decor and Happy Fall Y’all!

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: 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!

Holiday Home Tour 2018: Entryway

Today I’m sharing the next space up on my holiday home tour, my entryway. This space is always one of my favorite to decorate because of all the unique nooks and crannies and character of this space. I love to go for a winter wonderland look in here with tons of flocked trees, garlands, and wreaths and lots of white and neutrals. This year I added this giant chalkboard on the back wall with some lyrics from one of my favorite Christmas movies, White Christmas, which seemed fitting for the space. I also love the extra light and glow that these Christmas lights add to this back corner, which is normally kind of dark and bland. I’ve linked all my favorite decor items from this space below that you can use to recreate this look!
