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!

    Rhoda, I also love the natural mixed with glitter. You have done it perfectly! I have cedar trees and hydrangeas, so those get mixed in with whatever else I have. You tree is just fabulous! And I love the vignettes. The tiny figures in the cloche–so sweet.

    Thanks for sharing with us.

    Everything looks absolutely fantastic! I love your style. Could you just go house to house and help us all? You would never run out of customers!! Thanks for always sharing….I always love to see what you pick up cheap at garage sales and turn into a designer’s dream! Blessings to you and your family!

    I really like the greens on your mailbox! Great idea! Also the bow around the bust’s neck, the bottlebrush trees on the window and the little scene on the cake pedestal! Magical! Merry Christmas! Kelly

    Your tree is beautiful and I love your 2 shelves of creamware. Not sure what it is but that is so pleasing to look at. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas

    Everything looks so beautiful! Your home is so elegant and inviting. I love the cloche covered snow scene, and what a beautiful mantle. I’m always at a loss on decorating my mantle — we use our gas fireplace a lot, and I’m afraid it will be too hot for too many decorations. Thanks for sharing all your lovely pictures.

    Just beautiful Rhoda – as your home always is no matter the season or occasion. Love your use of natural materials and all the colors are wonderful. Enjoying the music – am not familiar with Michael Smith but he sounds great.

    This has been a busy year for you and I’m so happy we have kept in touch all these months via our blogs. My love and best wishes to you and your family for a blessed Christmas, and a very happy, healthy New Year.
    See you around after the holidays!!
