Black and White Christmas Home Tour

It’s time for a full Christmas home tour! I have shared bits and pieces with you over the past few weeks and now it’s time to wrap it all up in a big bow and share the full house tour with you! So welcome to my Black and White Christmas Home Tour with a subtle pop of red and emerald green!

If you are coming from ZDesign At Home , welcome! So great to have you here!

Black and White Christmas Home Tour

Take a tour of this black and white classic christmas home tour! Every space filled with holiday touches that make a glowing house!

Classic Christmas Porch

I kept our entry way just simple and classic this year with real mini Christmas trees and a pretty green wreath. You can view more details on the Christmas porch here.

Minimalistic Christmas Entry Way

As you enter our home you can find our simple rustic modern entry way with glimpses of winter decor. I wanted a more minimalistic look in here with subtle Christmas accessories.

Our downstairs is one big open space so the entry leads right into our big open living room and kitchen area. As you can see in the reflection!

Rustic Chic Christmas Living Room

I kept our Christmas decor pretty neutral this year with just a few pops of red in there for a little surprise.

I shared our Christmas mantel a few weeks ago, but added my favorite chair in front of it for a cozy look.

I hesitate sharing much of this space right now because I took it a part almost a year ago and it isn’t any where near put back together! We will be installing new hardwoods in January and then I will finally be able to furnish and style this space the way I envision!

But I’ll take this cozy Christmas space for now :)

I am loving the rich emerald green trending happening right now so I used quite a few pops of it around my decor this year. I love gift wrap, it’s one of my favorite parts of the holidays and wrapping this gifts has been so much fun already!

we did move our furniture around a little to make room for the tree. who knows how it will be put back after!

I kept all of the tree decor black, white and metallic with an emphasis on rose gold.

To add a little texture to the tree, I tied these black velvet ribbon on the edges on a few branches to give it little something different.

And you can’t go wrong with a little extra sparkle this time of year!

Christmas In The Kitchen

Moving onto the kithen! I shard my Kitchen Christmas Tour let week, so hop on over to that post for all the details and more shots of all the decor.

I wanted to keep the decor in here simple, and used touches of greenery along with pops of red!

Outdoor Holiday Decor

The last space to visit in our downstairs is our outdoor living space! This was the first space I decorated for Christmas this year and one of my favorites. I love looking at this space glowing at night and it’s pretty cozy to sit out here too!

Now head to Inspiration For Moms for even more holiday inspiration!

Take a tour of all these wonderful Christmas Tours throughout the week!

    Love that console in the entry and your minimalist decor. Such a welcoming area and that console steal the show for sure. Your living room is gorgeous, love the mantel decor, such beautiful garland. Your tree is so pretty with your soft blush colors added in. Of course, your newly remodeled kitchen is a favorite, but your patio steals my heart. I could just live there. Such a beautiful and inviting area. Thanks so much for joining the tour, such a delight to have you added to the group this year.

June recap! Not as many projects happened, but I’ve been enjoying summer life with the kids and making memories. 

My trip back to Seattle was so needed and refreshing. Summer in Seattle is unmatched.

We took our first family trip to Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas and we all fell in love. 

The kids finished up summer baseball, summer track and now we get a little break before football and fall sports.
