Christmas Home Tour – Home for the Holidays

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!

 Welcome to myChristmas Home Tour at Setting for Four

Let’s start the tour at the front of my home, the entryway!
Front Entryway Holiday Urn
Christmas Entryway
I love decorating my entryway and front door for the holidays!
I topped two large black urns  with a grapevine wreath, a boxwood garland then filled the urns with fresh pine, birch branches from our back yard, fresh pomegranates for a pop of red, large Virginian pine cones and white sparkly faux berries.
I used the same ‘thriller, filler, spiller’ method that I used to make my fall urns!
Christmas Urns
Jack Frost has visited the fresh Pomegranates!
Pomegranates in Christmas Urns
I hung pine garland around the doorway and added silver sparkly branches and red beads that look like little disco balls! The red beads pick up the red pomegranate color – we get a lot of snow in the winter here and red outdoor decorations really pop off the white snow!
Here’s my entryway aglow at night! So pretty I think!
Holiday Entryway at night
I added a DIY Holiday Wreath using a framed printable, DIY Wool Snowflakes, another boxwood garland and a large willow branch wreath.
DIY Christmas Wreath with Framed Printable
Last but not least is this vintage sled I found at a thrift store years ago for just a couple of dollars! I just propped it up too the side and hung fresh pine and two large Virginian pinecones on it – It looks ready for a tobogganing hill!
Vintage Sled

…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!

Foyer bench

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!

Railing Christmas Garland

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!

Peacock feathers and Holiday Garland

Silver Glitter Pears, Vintage birds and sparkly pinecones

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 Mini wool snowflake

DIY Ombre Ornament

DIY Jewel and Feather Ornament

Console Table with Holiday branch tree

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!

White branch with holiday decorations

A stack of books topped with white Jonathan Adler candle votives and a vintage reindeer complete the wintery look!

Vintage Reindeer and white candleholder vignette

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!).

Blue Glitter Holiday Pinecones in Antique Bread Bowl

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!

Easy Holiday Vignette using a christmas ornament and stack of books

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!

Blue Christmas Mantel

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…

Blue Christmas Glam Mantel

….and here’s my ‘I’ll have a Blue Christmas’ holiday tree!

Blue Christmas 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.

Blue and Silver Christmas Tree

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.

DIY Feather Ball and antler Ornaments

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!

Christmas Hot Tub

I really hope you enjoyed my Christmas Home tour!

    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!

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!
