My Feature Friday today is my friend, Ruby’s lake house. She has always loved decorating for Christmas and now that they are settled into their new lake house, she has it looking all pretty for the season. I’ve written several posts about Ruby’s new lake house and you can see all the links in this post, with all the details, etc. They are loving living on the lake and in this house, as you can imagine!
Ruby loves Christmas and even though she didn’t do as much as she used to, the house is decked out and feeling festive with the wreaths and red bows on the windows.
She went for a more rustic look and added burlap and red bows. Perfect!
Her front entry got a wreath too.
Inside, the dining room was set for a dinner party she was having. It looks beautiful with some rustic touches.
She has had these snowflake dishes for a long time and got them at Cracker Barrel. I’ve featured them before and had people email me about them, but sadly they are not out there any longer.
Aren’t they pretty?
Glitzy reindeer and greenery for the centerpiece is a beautiful touch.
Her sideboard got a little festive too with rustic Christmas trees and a few pinecones and greens.
Love that starfish pinecone, so cute.
A sweet nativity on the foyer table looking into the great room.
The tree is decked out in Christmas colors of red and natural decor.
She has plenty of ornaments to fill up this tree.
Just a few touches on the ottoman tray and how pretty it all looks with the tree in the background.
Great room fireplace and tree.
Tree topper and close up of the tree.
Merry Christmas!
Pretty garland cascading down the side of the fireplace.
Love this touch, a moose and bear peeking in the windows from the porch.
Merry Christmas Y’all!
She’s got lots of green and red like I do and has it in the kitchen.
A pretty wreath over the kitchen cabinets.
And another sweet Willow Tree nativity.
This pretty nativity is in the guest room hallway below her mirror.
A quick peek at the master bedroom. Ruby just got this burlap headboard from Ballard Designs outlet.
Outdoors on the porch she added a few festive decorations too. They love their porch with the gas firepit.
And a moss Joy sign hangs on the wall on the porch. I love Ruby’s rustic Christmas decor and knew that you all would love it too!
The Dansko shoe giveaway winner has been posted & emailed! Congrats, Lynn!
Well, RHoda, I just fell into the Lake House rabbit hole, lol! I got all caught up from the beginning to now, and it’s just a fabulous journey. How blessed Ruby & Bill are to be able to live out their lives together on this space, and to have you as their friend along the way. It’s beautiful, thank you for sharing.
Wow, wow, wow! I loved every room of Ruby and Bill’s lakehouse! I toook in every detail right down to the curtains in the family room (they are fabulous) Ruby sure has the gift for making her home warm, gorgeous and inviting. I think this is one of my favorite Christmas tours of the season. I love all of her furniture pieces and the colors she chose are warm and relaxing. Thank you so much for sharing their home on Feature Friday! Have a wonderful weekend Rhoda.
Oh my goodness, how beautiful. I really like how coherent everthing looks. Those natural wood touches are the perfect choice to harmonize with the furniture and the setting of the house. My favorite are those two guys looking in the window!
Beautiful!! I love everything!!
So pretty! Totally love the moose and bear and the gingerbread/cookie arrangement!
What a gorgeous home! Every detail is perfection. I especially love the tranquil master bedroom and the porch. The moose and bear peaking in are precious and have inspired me…I’m heading to my storage closet to pull out a reindeer I wasn’t using this year! Thank you, Ruby, for sharing your beautiful home. Merry Christmas!
Her home is charming in every way! Loved Mr. Moose and Mr. Bear peeking in…..very clever!
Love her home and the colors she uses throughout. So very pretty!
Absolutely Beautiful!!! What a wonderful home. Merry Christmas.
Beautiful! But, I have a question. Where do people store all this stuff? I have about a 4th of the decorations she has and a special overhang shelf in my garage to store all the plastic bins….about 10….and I’m out of room. Just curious. 🙂
Renee, she has an abundance of storage in this house with unfinished areas in the basement, to an attic space that is also unfinished. She has plenty of storage in this house.
Any idea where she got her drapes (or fabric) on her great room windows? Those are the exact colors I’m looking for for my dining room! They are beautiful!
Cheryl, I’ll try to find out. Pretty sure it’s a local shop that has it.
Can you email me directly if you find out the brand/pattern? Thanks so much!
Wow, what a pretty home and so tastefully decorated. You two did a fabulous job with this home.
Merry Christmas to you Rhoda. I just want to thank you for the time you spend creating wonderful blogs to share with your fans each day. Each day presents something new and unexpected, but always fun to view. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas season.
Thank you, Jean, I appreciate you taking the time to say that. Means a lot! I try to keep things interesting around here and y’all are such big supporters.
We love your blog Rhoda! I know it takes a lot of time to be able to post interesting content each and every day so thank you!
Absolutely love the house all decorated for Christmas. It is truly magazine worthy. I’m still waiting to see it in person!
Her house is absolutely beautiful. I love how in America you go all out with your Christmas decorations, in NZ we are a little sparce with our decorating and it never looks as nice as the homes I see in the US. We tend to only decorate where visitors can see whereas in the US you decorate each room in the house even down to powder rooms and I love it.
Love, love, love
Beautiful!!! I love all the natural decorations, one room is prettier than the next and I have gleamed several ideas that I’m going to copy. Thank you RUby for sharing your beautiful home with us, this is my favorite Christmas tour of the year! ( where did you get the lamps on the DR buffet? I love them.)
Love your blog for years now…the lake house is beautiful dressed for Christmas. I saw the house when you featured it when they moved in. Would love to know where the dining room rug came from…it is beautiful…also loving the styles for over 50!! Merry Christmas, Rhoda
Pat, I think that rug came from the same store as the furniture and it’s called Tuscany in Roswell. http://www.tuscanyfinefurnishings.com
Hi
I am new to your blog. Love ! Love!! Love it.!! I was looking at your mom making the dumplings, it so reminded me of my grandmother (Big Mama) in AL. I Loved the updates on the lake house. I would love to know where the master bedroom bedding items were purchased. Thanks so much for sharing .
HI, Cyn, thank you for stopping by, I hope you’ll drop in often! I shared Ruby’s home a few years ago and she has made changes to that bedding since then, but when I get a chance I’ll ask her about these. It may be awhile.
