Holiday Parade of Homes 2014, Nashville Area

This is a fun repeat of a Parade of Homes I attended in Nashville back in 2014 with so much inspiration for Christmas. I’m sure many of you have not seen this tour, so please enjoy and I hope you get inspired for your own Christmas decor this year!
***************************************************

Last week, I took a quick trip to Nashville to see the Holiday Parade of Homes and meet up with some of my fellow bloggers for a day of festivities.  You know I love a good home tour and these did NOT disappoint.  They were decorated to the max with beautiful furnishings AND they were also decked with out with some Christmas decorations too.  In fact, 4 of my blog friends decorated trees in the house for a Make-a-Wish campaign, all for a great cause.  So, sit back and relax and I’ll show you the four beautiful homes that I toured last week in Arrington, TN, just south of Nashville.

I  met up with my media friends, Nancy and Dana with Forest Home Media, who were the ladies behind spreading the word about the Parade of Homes for the builders.

I hope you enjoyed touring these beautiful homes as much as I did.  These homes are SO nice and spacious, but it’s hard to imagine actually living in something that large.  I still love my cozy home, sweet home, but so enjoy seeing large and magnificent homes like these in the Nashville area.

If you are in that area and want to tour the Parade of Homes, they are open to the public to tour until December 21st, so by all means go by and visit if you have the time and are in the Nashville area.  The homes are in Arrington, TN, just south of Nashville in the Kings Chapel community.

    All of the decorating is SO over the top and heavy that you obscure the pretty features of the house.IMHO.

    […] (Bron) Waarom zouden we onszelf met de kerstversiering beperken tot een kerstboom en wat decoratie op tafel? Het is veel leuker om flink uit te pakken en het hele huis te versieren. Zo creëer je pas echt die gezellige kerstsfeer in huis. Deze trapleuning is prachtig versierd met een guirlande, lichtjes en linten. Zo krijg je al gelijk het kerstgevoel als je ’s ochtends de trap af komt! […]
