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 love your decorations! So pretty!
    I love your ballard stockings – I have some too (although I wanted the polka dot ones like you have and they were out when I ordered).

    Hi Rhoda, I love how you combined naturals & sparkle. It all looks so pretty. My fav is the sideboard & the lil green kitchen tree. Those lime green acorns sure are popular…I’ve seen them several places. The mailbox, the stockings, all so festive!
    Merry Christmas to you & your family, Holiday hugs, DebraK

    Rhoda, your decorations all look so nice and are done so well. I don’t look at yours and get that “can’t wait to get them down” feeling like I do with mine.

Thanks for stopping by! I'm Rhoda, from Atlanta, GA and I love decorating and DIY projects. Decorating a home doesn't have to cost a fortune and I've spent years thrifting at antiques markets and yard sales, finding those treasures that make a home unique. I'm here to inspire and encourage other women to find their own inner creativity. Won't you join me?
