A Christmas Home Tour – home for the holidays Christmas decor theme!
Welcome friends!
I’m so excited about today’s post! I’m sharing my Christmas Home tour today!
29 Bloggers and myself are opening our doors all week to show you some Christmas decorating inspiration! How fun!
Christmas is my hands-down-favourite holiday of the year…maybe it’s because I can fill every room with sparkle and shine!…maybe it’s because I love to see the joy on my boys faces as they open up their Christmas presents…….maybe it’s because I can catch my handsome hubby standing under the mistletoe!….maybe it’s because I love to cuddle on the sofa with my family, a cup of hot chocolate in hand, listening to Bing Crosby’s “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas’ (my favorite Christmas song ever!!) playing softly in the background, admiring our Christmas tree together…
…but one of the most favourite reasons I love Christmas is to open my house to friends and show them some welcoming hospitality, have a few good laughs and make some festive memories!
…so welcome friends to my Christmas Home Tour!
Before I talk about these decor ideas – check out how you can get completely organized for the holidays with this gorgeous Ultimate Holiday Planner!
You won’t forget a place to be at, a card to send, a gift to get or groceries to buy with these 27 printable pages including:
Dated calendars, menu planners, gift tracker and Christmas organization! It’s saving my sanity this year prepping for the holidays!
…now let’s go inside!
Sit down and take your boots off! I’ll take your coat and make us a cup of hot chocolate!
I cozied up my entryway with a plaid wool throw on the bench and added a couple of white pillows.
Under the bench I added a wine crate filled with birch logs.
I love decorating with birch and it’s colors- silvery grays, soft whites and black!
I love adding an elegant festive garland to my railing at Christmas!
I added silver sparkly pears, silver pinecones, vintage hand-blown glass birds, silver beads and pressed Oak leaves tucked here and there to give the garland more fullness!
When the lights are plugged in this garland gives such a beautiful soft sparkle and shine!
This year I changed up my indoor holiday colors from traditional red and white to blue so I added two large peacock feathers to the garland to bring in some rich blue and teal tones!
This little area of our home is the perfect spot for a console table.
I created a holiday vignette by adding a single large white branch to a Jonathan Adler vase and decorating it with DIY Christmas Ornaments I made myself.
If you’d like to make these you can find the tutorials here:
DIY Jewel and Feather Ornament
This piece of abstract art is one that my son made a while back – just a white painted canvas with black paint smooshed on it!
A stack of books topped with white Jonathan Adler candle votives and a vintage reindeer complete the wintery look!
I showed you back in the fall how I refinished this ‘antiqued’ wooden dough bowl; I love decorating with it for the seasons.
I added these pretty frosty blue pinecones (they are actually ornaments you can hang on your tree – but they are also great bowl fillers!).
A turquoise blue ornament tops a stack of books on my end tables. Just a simple easy vignette that you can create anywhere in your home!
Here’s my Blue Christmas Dining Room: (See all the ways I created this pretty blue Holiday tablescape in that post!)
Now onto the living room!
My fireplace and this gorgeous mirror are the focal points in my living room.
I love adding lots of festive cheer to it and lighting the candles at night!
I love to give my mantel interest and texture by using accessories with different heights and positioning some elements to the back and some to the front.
I used my husband’s military pewter mug filled with fresh boxwood clippings from our yard, crystal votives and birch candles on mercury glass candlesticks for a mix of materials and finishes.
Faux pine branches and pheasant feathers add a rustic touch.
The blue and brown holiday ornaments, pick up the same colors I used for my Christmas tree…
….and here’s my ‘I’ll have a Blue Christmas’ holiday tree!
I’m so happy with my switch from traditional red and white colors that I’ve decorated my tree with in the past! The blues and browns look so pretty together.
Light blue, turquoise and brown Christmas balls are mixed with brown antler ornaments, white DIY Feather and Jewel Ornaments and white icicles to give a lovely winter wonderland look!
I wrapped the blue sparkly yarn around my tree for another pop of color and texture…I love how the sequins in the yarn twinkle and catch the lights at night.
Now let’s head outside!
We really love using our hot tub! Jump in and relax for a while! The tiki torch is lit… it’s Christmas party time! I added a cheery red plaid throw and a holiday candle to give our hot tub a festive look!
I even made a little snowman on the edge of the hot tub to keep us company!
I really hope you enjoyed my Christmas Home tour!
Thanks for visiting! Wishing you and your family a Happy Holiday!!

I’m in love with the peacock blue. The peacock feathers in your stair garland are amazing. But I think my favorite thing — and probably yours too — is that hot tub! Now, that looks fun and festive.
Thanks Amy! The hot tub is a real treat for sure! Thanks so much for your lovely comments!
Lovely decor~
Thank you Mary!
This is lovely! Your porch is totally perfect for the season and so welcoming. And I love the peacock feathers I see and that really cool tree skirt (is it lace?)
Thanks so much Kim!! My tree skirt is just a throw from HomeGoods that I wrapped around the tree base- it’s a ruffly knit!
Heather, I just love your blue take on Christmas decor! The peacock feathers are an amazing addition! Isn’t it fun to use unexpected colors and elements to make gorgeous Christmas designs! LOVE your welcoming and warm home… from the wreath on the front door to the hot tub in the back.

I’m obsessed with them too Kelly! Aren’t all the colors in peacock feathers so lush? Thanks for visiting and your lovely comments!!
Oh Heather, what an absolutely BEAUTIFUL job you did! I adore that blue so much. It is fun to switch colors. I ditched the red last year!

We do use our hot tub all the time! This is the first time I’ve ever owned a hot tub and it’s so relaxing and fun for our whole family! My boys love it too! It’s so wonderful on a cold winter night to hop in and stare at the twinking stars ! Thanks for your lovely comments Laura!
Heather, Thanks for sharing your home with us. I love all the fresh greenery. That’s what my home is missing but I just couldn’t get it all together this year. I love the pops of turquoise!!! And the red, you’re right it really stands out. I love it all!
It’s hard to ‘get it together’ at the holidays Kathy- I haven’t even started Christmas shopping yet – lol!! Thanks for your lovely comments!

Hi Heather,
So glad to be on this holiday tour with you, I just love your style! I wish we could get together and enjoy some hot cocoa, or the hot tub and talk decorating all night!
And yes, I do love Diane at In My Own Style, she was my roommate at Haven last year and she always amazes me at the beautiful things she comes up with.
Love that you tried the blue and white! Those sparkly sprigs look perfect on your tree.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
Thanks so much Jessica – I love your decor style too!!!! Diane is amazing right???? I got to know her in the Annie Sloan workshop and she was so sweet and helpful, since I had never used chalk paint before and she is a total pro!!! Lucky you that you roomed together!! I hope you have a wonderful holiday too and thanks for all of your thoughtful comments!
Wow! Congratulations on being featured in the magazine! I can see why, your front entry is absolutely gorgeous…and I used to do greens arrangements for a living so I’ve seen a lot. Your whole home is stunning, so beautiful for the season. I’d love to enjoy a glass of wine in your hot tub, it looks so relaxing with the decor around. Thanks for the tour, Heather.
Debbie 🙂
