All is Bright - Christmas Home Tour 2016
Typically around Christmas time, my home explodes with decorations in just about every room because it truly is one of my favorite seasons of the year. I absolutely love setting up multiple trees around the home, hanging twinkling lights and creating Christmas vignettes.
As I said, Christmas time is truly my favorite time of the year. So, welcome to my Christmas home tour. This time I`ll share with you my entry and living room and next time my kitchen and dining room.
Having to set three Christmas trees and all the other decorations during one of the busiest times of the year was a crazy idea, but it had to get done. So I knew that in order to make this happen, I would need to work like crazy. And that’s exactly what I did. 💃
We got our Christmas decorations up a couple weeks ago but I find I always take a while to move things around and play until I’m happy (which is never, btw...).
Let`s get started with my entry! This is what you see from the living room. I draped this beautiful DIY live garland over my door with some frosted pine cones. It makes our view so much better and the scent of the fresh garland makes me so happy every time I come through the door.

Right as you walk in the front door you see our narrow but bright entry where I set a black iron shelf. Copper has been my color of choice this season for this part of our home, and I knew it would be the perfect addition to our entry. On the first shelf I added a NOEL sign, clock, glass ornaments, fresh greenery and a battery operated glass cloche.
On the left side of the shelf you can see my giant DIY paper bag snowflakes (tutorial on this will be on the blog very soon), so cute and easy to make.
On the second one I put this adorable snowman in a picture frame, my DIY arrow home sign, added candles and some more ornaments in a deer bowl and I was happy!
On the bottom shelf I add a deer pillow, faux present and my white scarf with tassels and finished it with some lovely frosted pine cones and miniature skies.
Now it`s time to move on! Let`s go to our living room. I love white and neutrals so it`s the main color palette in this room. As you can see, in this space, just a few little pops of bold reds bring it all together with the rest of our home.
If you missed my DIY bling Christmas pillows, you can find the tutorial on the blog.
On the DIY coffee table (you can find the tutorial on the blog) I placed a silver deer with a charm around his neck, more greenery with red berries, star bowl with ornaments, little bell and a antler candlestick.
Of course, there is my Mr. B guitar and sheet music for our cozy nights at home.
On the mantel I tried to keep it simple and added only a garland, white ornaments, gray and white satin ribbons, candles and my angel bell.
Holiday can`t be completed without a presents, so I wrapped just a few for now. There`s so much shopping to do yet.
And that`s it for the part I of the tour. In a few days, in a part II I`ll share our kitchen and dining room.
