Neutral Christmas Decor – Our Home Tour

Sharing is caring!

Hi friends! I’ve shared lots of different areas of our home decorated for Christmas this year and it’s time for one big tour to show you ALL our Neutral Christmas Decor in one big home tour! I always love doing this every year because it’s fun to look back on previous years and see how styles change and evolve. You can check out my 2019 Christmas tour, a lot has changed!

I’m also joining several other bloggers this week as we all share our Seasonal Home Tours! If you are from Grace in My Space , welcome! Thanks for stopping by!

Neutral Christmas Decor Tour

Take a tour of this design blogger home using tons of Neutral Christmas Decor that still feels festive! From black and white Christmas decor and lots of greenery.

Simple Christmas Porch

Simple Christmas porch using mini Christmas Trees and a DIY copper door decor piece.

I like a more simple Christmas porch. I’ve tried larger, more festive filled porch decor in the past and I just think minimalistic is what looks best out here! This year I made my own DIY Copper Wind Chime door decor. I really love how the copper pops against the new black door!

Holiday Entry Way

I’ve done quite a bit more DIY projects this year than I have in the past and it’s been so much fun! I never shared these DIY Hobnail vases on the blog, but you can see the video I posted on IG! Such an easy DIY that anyone can do! I made one in white too, so head there to take a peek!

Scandinavian Style Christmas Decor

Now let’s head into a space I just finished putting together for the holidays! It looks SO different than last year, it’s crazy! I have always loved more Scandinavian Style Christmas Decor. The minimalistic decor, organic greenery and lots of wood tones. With the new fireplace makeover, I feel like I can finally get the look I have wanted in here. So clean and organic feeling. I can’t wait to play around with it even more as we finish the makeover in here over the next few months.

Scandinavian style Christmas mantel using cedar garland, wood beads and modern accents.

Oh do you recognize the dough bowl?! And my recent post on how to style dough bowls? I still love it’s more permanent location I found in the new bonus room reveal, but I thought it would be fun to use it for some holiday decor right now. It’s perfect for some presents and pillows!

There years when I’d try and pile tons of decor on a coffee table and it was always about styling more, I have definitely gotten to the less is more phase over the past few years. And when it comes to Christmas, there is so much more to this season than decor. Don’t get me wrong, I love it and love how festive it makes the house, but I am also all about the simplicity of the season.

You’ve seen quite a few trees around my house, I have several faux ones that I love and bring out every year. But we always have ONE real tree in our home, and it’s always the living room! We normally get our tree the day after Thanksgiving, but we have had so much going on that we just now got it up in our main room. Probably the latest I’ve ever had the tree decorated since we’ve been married, but hey it’s 2020 ;)

Decorating With A Vintage Dough Bowl

The kitchen, the heart of the home and the place where we spend so much of our time these days! I have a few little touches I like to do in here, just enough to make it feel a little Christmasy.

One thing I’ve always wanted to do is add greenery on a big chandelier! I used my new fav faux cedar garland and draped it around it. Super easy!

You can find a tutorial to those simple wreaths on the blog. This is one of those Christmas projects I bring out year after year! Maybe I should switch things up by now, but I still think they are sweet!

Beautiful red and white Christmas floral display with organic feel

And I have to talk about this centerpiece! My parents sent it to us and it was made by one of my fav local florists. Head to Sprig Flower Co if you are local for a gorgeous arrangement!

Christmas Trees Upstairs!

I couldn’t help but put a few Christmas trees upstairs too! There is something magical about falling asleep to the Christmas tree twinkling. I don’t do a lot of other decor up here, just a few small hints of the holidays. I really just like having a tree in our bedroom. Sometimes I would like to keep it here year round!

Ok ok, I can’t get enough of the new bonus room reveal! Seriously I’m obsessed with it! You can take a tour of it if you haven’t already, but I HAD to put a tree in here as soon as I could! Now that we are doing all our homeschooling in here, we are in this room most of our day.

Outdoor Living Space Decor

Lastly! Our outdoor living space is one of my fav spaces to decorate for Christmas! I always save my brighter, cabin Christmas decor for out here!

Thanks for taking a tour of our Neutral Christmas Decor! It’s fun to see how it all came together this year with all the different renovations we did throughout the year.

Now please head to  Just a Girl and Her Blog and see her tour!

I swear, the second I actually fold all the laundr I swear, the second I actually fold all the laundry and put it away, the laundry bins are full again... one thing I NEVER feel caught up on! Do you fold each load as you do it? Or wait until you have a huge pile? I probably fold 1-2 times a week, I always put on a show and try and use it as some quiet time... #thisis30s

One of my favorite traditions we started since we’ve “been home”, is our weekly family movie night EVERY Friday night! We order take out from a local restaurant (we rotate who gets to pick the place) and then we cuddle up and watch a new movie none of us have seen. We’ve had to start going back to the archives a bit recently ha! But the kids love it and so do we. Having this space all finished so we can all lounge in here comfortably has been so nice. We haven’t picked a movie for tonight yet, last week we watched Beethoven circa 1992 and our kids were cracking up the whole time!

Well, I think I just added a new project to my lis Well, I think I just added a new project to my list! After many years of doing this job full time, my “office” has typically been the living room couch and the kitchen counter... but that isn’t really sustainable anymore (not a bad thing!), so my husband and I talked about turning his home office into a shared office space soon! Honestly, I don’t know why it took us so long to do this, maybe because it hasn’t really been as much of an issue until now, but I’ve got some ideas for my new office space in here! I won’t change a whole lot, but I think it’s going to be simple and perfect! Do you and your spouse share an office space?!

I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We officially took down the TV and moved it to the wall. I was looking for either a modern artwork piece or mirror and I am in love with this one! It’s the perfect mix of simple and modern with subtle mid-century modern lines. I’m sharing more angles on the blog today with links.

Happy Friday! A few common questions that have com Happy Friday! A few common questions that have come up about the staircase gallery wall this week... 1) the wall color is called Rebel by Kilz 2) the print size is 16 x 20 and 3) I have two full blog posts dedicated to how I picked the prints and links to the frames and also another one on building out the wall. Hope that helps!

Would you believe this brick wall is just removabl Would you believe this brick wall is just removable wallpaper?! It’s simple things like this that can completely change a space. It’s great for rentals or apartments because it won’t ruin the walls when you take it down! I’ve used it in a few rooms of our home and I’m a big fan.

I’ve got bathrooms on my mind! Here is our kids’ shared jack-n-Jill bathroom that I did a few years back. I still love the design and so glad I went with a pop of blue in here! I’ve started the planning process for our other upstairs bathroom and went searching for tile today (see stories)! I am getting so excited for this project, I’ve been gathering tons of inspiration photos and I’ll share them this week!
