Merry Christmas from our house to yours…..

Welcome to our home tour for Christmas. BooMama is sponsoring a huge house tour for everyone to share their Christmas decorations, so I’m sharing a few more of mine here, as well as going back to other posts where I’ve shared too, so hope you enjoy & don’t get too tired of seeing it all! If you’d like to see even more Christmas decor, go over to her blog & see all the links. You can OD on Christmas right now!

Fresh greens on the mailbox. I love to find things outside to put together for a mailbox swag. Add a bow & it’s done!
The faux frontdoor wreath that I picked up from Target a couple of years ago has a very natural look, so all I did was add a bow to it too. Cause I’m all into natural this year. The sun was coming in the windows so prettily when I took this pic & I love how it looks when you come in our frontdoor.
Closer shot of the natural greens, pinecones & pretty sparkly balls.
Closer look at the Christmas Tree…
And the tree topper, ribbon and feathers.

Sparkly pinecone wreath on the backdoor.
Sideboard in the diningroom.
A cloche covers my yardsale glass pedestal, with some tiny people, trees & faux snow a little vignette is born.

At the top of the stairs, a golden basket holds some fresh greens, pinecones, grapevine ball & shiny Rudolf.
Merry Christmas pillow in the Livingroom.
Pair of gold trees & an angel on the sofa table.
Ballards stockings hang by the fireplace.
Pretty hand blown glass heart. Got this in a gift exchange this year.

As well as the vintage Santa.
White wreaths and bottlebrush trees hang out in the breakfast room window.
Tabletop tree in the kitchen adds a bit of cheer with its shot of lime green & toile ribbon.
More of the mantel and fresh greens.
Draped with ribbons, beads & pretty ornaments.
Simplicity is wonderful.
Again, I love the contrast of fresh & natural with golden & glitzy and I think I always will have to have both! Hope you enjoyed the tour…please scroll down to the very next post for more pics and also go here and here and here to see a few things posted earlier. I think I’ve shared everything I can possibly share about Christmas now!

Have a great week before Christmas…hope you get all your shopping done & get to relax a little bit this week..although my shopping is not done yet! That’s what I plan to do!

    I absolutely LOVE your mantel decor! You are very talented with all of your Christmas decorations. I love the mix of natural materials with the glittered neutral colors. Your stockings from Ballards are so pretty. I might have to get some for me and my husband. I already have some for my kids that came from Ballards this year. They are apple green velvet with green and white check ruffle at the top. I like the ones you have with the polka dots and leopard. Your house is just beautiful! Have a great southern Christmas from one southern gal to another. I live in GA.

    LOVED seeing all of your beautiful Christmas decor – everything is so elegant and classy! Enjoy a wonderful day, Rhoda! We got so much snow this weekend that the kids are home from school – so my day isn’t gonna be what I originally thought it was! LOL

    There’s nothing like the natural scents, either Rhoda…and I’ve been trying to place the leaves on your mailbox swag…is that Oleander? It looks like it to me, but hard to tell. All is beautiful, but I’ve come to expect it of you

    Your home is beautiful and you obviously have a lot of talent and energy!

    I think I’m going to copy your ice skater idea (using the pedestal cake stand). My children will love it!

    Thanks for sharing!
