Holiday Home Tour 2018: Pantry
Today I’m sharing the next space up on my holiday home tour, my pantry! As usual the star of the show in here is the crimson tinsel tree and chandelier full of vintage ornaments. The deep color of this Christmas tree is so unique and I love the way the ornaments pop against it. This room is such a mix of rustic and glam so I love to play that up each year with the metallic ornaments, sparkly garlands, and plenty of gold! I don’t think I will ever get tired of this vintage chandelier full of vintage ornaments either! Most of these vintage ornaments were from my grandmother and I’m so happy to have them because they are each so unique, intricate, and beautiful.
Holiday Home Tour 2018: Living Room
’m kicking off this year’s holiday home tour with my favorite room of the house, my living room. Last year I started going with more neutrals and all-white for this space during the holidays and this year I continued with that theme. I also added in some more blush and pale pastels which I love. I usually do a real tree in here, but decided a flocked tree would fit even better with the overall colorscheme so I got this one from Wayfair (find more of my favorite flocked trees here). It is beautiful and great quality and a perfect size for this space. I also added a few new touches from Anthropologie like my faux fur tree skirt and mauve pom pom garland (shopping links below).

30 of the Best Artificial Christmas Trees + Where to Buy Them
Buying an artificial Christmas tree, especially online, can be quite a challenge. It’s so hard to tell what looks realistic, high-quality, and has all the features you are looking for from one small photo! Since I’ve purchased quite a few (i.e. WAY too many!) Christmas trees in my lifetime, I decided to do a round-up of all my favorites in 3 different categories. I’ve included traditional, flocked, and whimsical trees and they’re all great high-quality picks. My philosophy is that you can never have too many Christmas trees, so don’t be afraid to mix and match, or stray away from traditional styles. I have everything from flocked to colored to real to vintage style trees all throughout my home!
