2021 Christmas Home Tour

In my initial plans, I had every intention of going with browns, golds, blues and greens. So, I bought the ribbon for the entryway and later realized I couldn’t find much else in that color combo. Fortunately, it all works with my darling pinecone wreath! I bought it end of season last year on major discount and I love it so much!

This is my first time using bells in my decor and I absolutely love how these look tied to the railing! They were a little larger than I expected when they arrived, but I think the scale still works nicely in here! The garland is one I got from McGee & Co. years ago on end of season clearance, and haven’t found it since. But this option is very similar!

Seriously, this wreath could not be cuter!

As we move down the entryway hallway, I kept everything the same from my fall home tour, with the exception of the console table.

I asymmetrically draped some garland (this one sold out super early in the season) and hung the matching wreath (also sold out). And, as I mentioned in my design plans post, my goal this year is, when in doubt, put a bow on it 😉 You’re going to start seeing that pretty aggressively from here on out! I got a lot of use out of these rolls of velvet ribbon!

Here’s a closer look at the nativity. I would still like to add to it this year, since I usually try to add one piece each year. I’m thinking this year it will be the three wise men!

Our dining room may be my new favorite room in our home! THAT RUG!!! Once I saw the rug, it kind of derailed all of my other decorating plans. I’m already obsessed with Stewart plaid, but when your last name is also Stewart, it feels like fate 😉

Here you can see how the dining room flows out into the pool house. I’ll be sharing that space later in the post! Side note: I’ve made a decision to leave all of our trees bare this year. You’ll see some bows on the pool house one, but I’ve decided not to hang ornaments. I love the look of a naked tree, and I felt like this was a way to add some simplicity to the decorating chaos that ensues each year!

Upstairs in our guest bedroom, I used the Stewart plaid bedding I used last year in our bedroom! It’s still a favorite and adds such a fun festive look to any room!

I’m not sure when the last time was that I showed this side of the bedroom! It’s been a work in progress for a few years, but I’m loving the dresser and round mirror in here! And no, the bottom two drawers on the right don’t easily open. We won’t get into whose measuring/miscommunication that was… but it works for us since this is a guest bedroom and the dresser is used to store seasonal bedding!

Our Jack & Jill bathroom remodel was completed the first of the year, but this is the first time I’ve decorated it for any particular season. And I’m so happy I did! Even without the Stewart plaid towels and bath mat, the faux pine needles and velvet ribbon add such a festive touch! Since our mirrors extend from the wall, it’s easy for our guests to throw the ribbon tails behind. But, if your mirror(s) are flush to the wall, you could simply trim your ribbon shorter!

Here’s a view looking into the den, which I didn’t photograph other than this image. I still have a little work in there to do, so maybe that will be a space I circle back on. But I love that the Stewart plaid pillows I used last year in our living room (which have the softest sherpa back) have so many pieces that coordinate with them this year!

I shared our pool house addition reveal last week, and a few minutes after I had everything photographed in summer mode, I took it all down to start decorating for the holidays!

In the living room area, I simply added some garland (unfortunately this is the one that sold out super early in the season). I then used the pillows from our fall home tour that I had in the den down here. I am really loving this color combo lately, and thinks it works equally as well for the holidays!

These cute knit stockings were a budget find and I’m so happy with them for the price! I’ve had the reindeer stocking holders for as long as I can remember and don’t even know where I got them. The bows here got extra fancy because I added an ivory one to the mix!

The only update I made to the pool house bathroom was to swag a garland asymmetrically over the mirror. A simple touch that definitely makes it feel more festive! If I get ambitious over the coming week, I may add a bow to the corner of the garland, as well.
