Welcome to our official 2024 Holiday Home Tour. I do these home tours more of a keepsake for me. A place where I can easily go back and see how I decorated our home year after year. What did I like, what would I do differently and what’s new this year. This is our third Chistmas in this home. When we moved here from Washington, I felt like I was completely starting over with our Christmas decor. I took my favorite artificial trees and garland and ornaments that were special. I continue to add a little more each year and this year it felt like we REALLY decorated our house for the first time. Even the kids commented saying how much they loved all the decor in every nook and cranny. I didn’t get around to taking photos of every corner, but here is a glimpse into our holiday home.
Our 2024 Holiday Home Tour
Exterior Christmas Decor
Adding wreaths to our front gates is always one of my favorite things. The greens against the wrought iron give it such a classic European feel. I typically buy fresh wreaths and end up tossing them every year. This year I found these 26″ faux artificial wreaths that are perfection. I added deep red velvet bows to them with small vintage bells. The material of the leaves are perfect!
I also added these 48″ large wreaths onto the front of our home! Next year, I want to add garland over all the arches in our entry. Little by little!
Outdoor Living Space Christmas Decor
Our outdoor living space is right inside the courtyard. Decorating this space for Christmas is one of my favorites. The cozy fire, the stone and the unique architectural elements. It’s the picturesque place for adding charming Christmas decor. I think I come out here more this time of year than any other.
I kept it simple with neutral Christmas decor layers of blankets and warm textures and lots of greenery. These faux norfolk branches are THE BEST.
This red nordic blankets has been with me since Washington. It’s one of my very favorite Christmas blankets. And these large vintage bells move around each year and are the best filler decor. I also added these cream textured Christmas Pillows and plaid pillows. They could work through winter too!
Simple Front Door Christmas Decor
Our front door sits a little off to the corner and is a pretty small space. So I keep the decor pretty minimal. Simple and classic.
Christmas In The Dining Room
I got all new Christmas china in this year and I am obsessed. You can see more pics of this Christmas table display here. I LOVE the classic plaid dish set, I’ll be bringing this out year after year.
I built this buffet in our dining room primarily because I wanted to display holiday decor on it :). And I love creating a simple vignette every year. I added my favorite faux norfolk branches, this sweet vintage Christmas print , and metal trees.
Arched Hallway
One of my favorite views of the house that I don’t share often enough!
Vintage Inspired Christmas Living Room Decor
I love this room, but I have yet to truly make it our own. I am so excited to dive into the remodel this year and really make this space what I envision it. But I have to say, I love decorating it for the holidays. The unique vintage inspired decor, twinkle lights paired with more modern furniture.
I have a whole blog post up that goes into more details on this Christmas Living Room.
Pink and Green Girls Christmas Decor
This year I also did another first. I had the opportunity to decorate my teenage daughter’s bedroom with Pottery Barn Teen. I LOVE their Christmas decor this year. It’s filled with sweet pink and green tones that matched her room perfectly.
You can take a full tour of her sweet Christmas bedroom here. These Christmas throw pillows were a favorite of hers! Mine too!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas! Enjoy this wonderful season with your family.
