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!

Fall Home Tour 2019: Rustic Farmhouse Pantry

The last space I’m sharing on my fall tour this year is my pantry! I don’t usually do too much in here as far as fall decor but this year I added a few little touches throughout and it ended up being one of my favorite fall spaces! We have been using this room a lot this fall and this table is becoming one of my favorite areas to spread out and work on various projects. My favorite part of the entire space is probably the skull vase on the centerpiece of the table- it was a Homegoods find but I’ve linked some similar options below along with the rest of my fall decor pieces from in here.

Fall Kitchen Tour 2019

I’m excited to share my newly refreshed fall kitchen! I recently stripped down this entire space- all wall decor and curtains, and have been moving towards a more modern and minimal style in here overall. I’m still wanting to update my rugs and a few other things, but I already am loving the updates. Along those same lines, I kept the fall decor in here very neutral and simple this year. Lots of black and white, mixing textures, and simple, natural accessories. I always love styling the open shelving and fireplace area in particular.

Fall Home Tour 2019: Bright + Cozy Autumn Porch

Today I’m sharing a new space on my home tour that I usually don’t deck out for the holidays. We spend so much time on our side porch in the fall so I decided to add a few autumn touches this year! I kept it pretty simple, just adding a few cute pumpkins here and there in colors that would match the existing fabrics and colors out here. I also added a fall wreath to the tobacco basket, some pinecone garland on the blanket ladder, and updated the stems in the jar on my ottoman to something more fallish. One of my favorite touches was adding the pumpkins to the macrame plant holders! Such an easy way to continue to use these into fall, even when it may be too chilly outside for your plants! You can shop my decor and similar pieces linked for you below!
