2024 Christmas Home Tour

If you saw my post with my 2024 Christmas design boards, you saw most of my plans for our holiday decor this year. But, I made a few swaps and changes along the way, so let’s get to the tour!

Outside, we planted these little rosemary topiaries in our footed planters, and then my mom added ribbon to them. If you think I love to add ribbons and bows to things, my mom brings it to a whole other level! I’m just hoping I can keep the topiaries alive all winter because I love having fresh rosemary on hand, but also because if they’re bigger, I think they’ll look so cute with flowers and greenery around the base. In the background you can also see our pre-lit faux birch trees that provide the prettiest glow at night.

I kept the porch super simple with a new wreath and plaid doormat. Our front door is pretty far inset, so it doesn’t get seen as much from the street. Anything I add tends to be a bug and frog collector, so I prefer simplicity!

CHRISTMAS FRONT PORCH SOURCES: Christmas Wreath | Plaid Outdoor Rug (also here) | Jute Rug | Copper Gas Lanterns | Pre-Lit Faux Birch Trees | Rocking Chairs | Stewart Plaid Throw Blanket | Striped Outdoor Pillows | Footed Planters | Velvet Ribbon | House Color: Sherwin Williams Greek Villa | Door Color: Sherwin Williams Niebla Azul

Moving inside, our entryway and staircase is one of my favorite features of our home! So of course it got the full garland bow ribbon treatment! We layered both this Real-Touch Garland and Cedar Garland and they make for the prettiest combination!

I’m not sure I’ve shared this next view before! Can you believe our Moravian Star Chandelier is 4′ x 4.5′ in size? It’s massive, but looks almost tiny from the ground (I think it’s hung from about 25 feet in the air)! But it feels even more special during the holiday months and I still love it so much. Thank heavens for builder lighting allowances and fixtures at cost!

CHRISTMAS ENTRYWAY SOURCES: Moravian Star Chandelier | Real-Touch Garland | Cedar Garland | Plaid Ribbon | Blue Satin Ribbon | Thin Red Velvet Ribbon | Console Table | Wicker Christmas Trees (look for less here, here & here) | Stewart Plaid Picture Frames | Lamp | Similar Mini Christmas Tree | Red Velvet Ribbon

As you walk down the hallway from the entryway, you enter our kitchen and see the living room in the background.

I always love a wreath on the range hood or cabinet doors during the holidays, especially on white cabinetry! Last year, this wreath in the kitchen was the hardest item for me to put away because I loved the color it added to the space.

I don’t love a lot of clutter on our kitchen countertops, so we’re trying to contain all the essentials and items used daily on this walnut cutting board. So I also tried to contain all of my countertop decor there, as well. A few extra ornaments, jingle bells, and a strand of fairy lights made for an easy, but festive, update!

I mentioned this in my design board post, but I was thrilled when Pottery Barn brought these plaid rugs back this year! They also now offer a red and green version (and they all come in multiple sizes). I bought the red initially but it looked a bit more maroon that red in here, so I returned it for the white and love it so much!

I like that it all still looks clean but festive!

I am super impressed with this flameless candle set! I’ll try to do a demo on my Instagram Stories later today, but they have a remote with tons of settings (including the option to make the light solid or flicker), timers, and dimming option. The full set was less than what I paid for one of my small PB ones last year! These are on the smaller side, but work perfectly in so many areas – and come in several color options. I took this next image at dusk so you can see the warm glow they create.

CHRISTMAS KITCHEN SOURCES: Woven Chandeliers (look for less options here) | Wreath | Faucet | Pot Filler | Salt & Pepper Mills | Similar Wood Recipe Stand | “Very Merry Cocktails” Book | Plaid Tea Towels | Walnut Cutting Board | Utensil Holder | Hand Soap | Ornaments | Stewart Plaid Rug | Swivel Counter Stools | Cabinet Knobs | Cabinet Bin Pulls | Raffia & Seagrass Tray | Vase | Faux Greenery | Lit Birch Stems | Berry Stems | Flameless Candle Set | Silver Tray | Wall & Trim Color: Sherwin Williams Snowbound

Moving into our living room, we injected a lot of red through the Stewart plaid patterns and all the Christmas ornaments!

I actually ordered some really cute art for the Frame TV, and for the life of me cannot get it to upload. Any tips appreciated! It worked fine when I tried in February, and now neither Kurtis nor I can get the upload button to work on the app. I refuse to pay for their art library any longer, so picture me doing a preview, hurrying to take a few photos, and then having to reset the preview every 20 seconds. Super fun! Ha!

I typically go for much larger arrangements on our coffee table, but with the addition of the Christmas tree, this Faux Juniper & Berry Bundle (I have two here) worked much better for not obscuring the view!

I love this jingle bell vase filler so much for Christmas! I left the bowl filled with seaglass that was already there and then just did a layer on top of the bells so I didn’t need as many. I’m using the small footed bowl here, which is still rather large. At night they help reflect the glow from the Christmas tree so well!

I love, love, love these plaid pillow covers (they’re so soft and the colors are perfection), but fair warning, they do shed a bit at first. I found if I tried to combat that initially (just rubbing my hand over it to collect excess fuzz), it helped significantly!

And here’s the view from the living room looking back into the kitchen!

When my mom was here, Kurtis asked if we could add a tiny bit of Christmas to his office. At the time we were struggling to find a large enough surface (that the cats wouldn’t mess with) for the nativity scene. Turns out he had the perfect spot in his office and he loves it here!

If you’ve followed me for a while, my mom was gifted a piece from this set each year for her birthday from one of our dear family friends, until she had the full set. Growing up, I loved it so much. So about six or seven years ago, I started to collect a piece a year so we could have our own! To this day, I still love this set so much!

Moving into the dining room, it’s not 100% finished yet because I was still using it to store the totes with the remaining Christmas items I was using. I’m also likely swapping out the chairs for the ones in our carriage house shortly, so I’ll share an update when that time comes!

I also have three of these prelit Christmas trees in the opposite corner that come on at night on timers. They’re just on the side that can’t currently be shown 😉

Is the bow wine bottle topper not the cutest thing?! It’s a perfect, simple gift idea paired with a favorite bottle of wine or bubbles!
