Today I’ve teamed up with the lovely Marty at A Stroll Thru Life and an amazing line-up of bloggers to share my full Preppy Plaid Christmas Home Tour! You’ll also be able to link up with us on Friday to share YOUR holiday spaces! Also, don’t forget to enter the two giveaways I have at the end of this post!
If you’re stopping in from Far Above Rubies, welcome! I’m a little obsessed with the bold pinks Anita used in her Christmas decor and I’m already scheming of ways I can use some next year! Oh, and she’s on the cover of January’s Romantic Homes Magazine, so she’s also a big deal!
I’ve already shared two Christmas Home Tours this year, but today I’m going to share the tour in it’s entirety. This also means I’m sharing three new spaces that have yet to be shown in the other tours! But first, if you would like to check out the other tours, you can go here and here. Otherwise, some of the images will be repeated here so you won’t miss much.

Welcome to our home! My husband and I have lived here for almost three years and we’ve had a lot of fun making it our own – which means a lot of painting, new light fixtures and miscellaneous DIY projects. But we’re getting there! For this year’s decor, I describe my style simply as plaid. I know that’s not a style but I have various plaid patterns in nearly ever room in our home for the holidays, so we’re going with it!
FRONT PORCH SOURCES: Garland | Rug | Birch Logs | Boots | Boot Socks
Stepping inside, you’ll see our home as a bit of an unusual layout. I’m thinking of doing a video tour soon (hopefully) so you can get a better feel for the flow. When you walk in, the staircase to the upstairs and downstairs are to the left and my office is to the right.
ENTRYWAY SOURCES: ‘It Is Well’ Canvas | Buffalo Check Poufs | Narrow Console Table | Buffalo Check Scarf on Chair | Chair | Boots | Boot Socks | Boot Tray | Rug (I use reverse side) | Chandelier | White and Gold Deer Head (similar)
Off the entryway is my office, in which, for the first time since we’ve lived here, I went with traditional Christmas colors.
OFFICE SOURCES: Chairs | Boots | Boot Socks | Drapes Fabric | DIY Wood Bead Chandelier | DIY Wreath | Plaid Pillow made from tablecloth | Basket, Glass Vases, ‘Jingle All The Way’ Frame, Table: HomeGoods
Heading back down our hallway, you can see I added some more plaid and pre-lit wreaths. This otherwise neutral space needs the pop of colors when the colors outside have faded away.
HALLWAY SOURCES: Doxology Canvas | Console Table | Bench | Lamp (similar here), Mirror and Wreaths: HomeGoods
Also for the first time since we’ve lived here, we added a Christmas tree to our living room. I can’t tell you just how happy it makes me to have all those extra sparkling lights at nighttime! I continued the plaid theme in here as well, but opted to go with a rich navy blue and hunter green tones. I’ll be sharing even more details and photos of our living room tomorrow, so stay tuned!
LIVING ROOM SOURCES: ‘O Holy Night’ Canvas | Navy Blue Ornaments | Wood Star Tree Topper | Icicle Ornaments | Wreaths | ‘All Is Calm’ Tree Skirt | Velvet Pillow Covers | Navy & Indigo Riad Pillow Cover
In the dining room, I used the rest of my fresh cedar garland to create a tablescape. From there I filled the space with my collection of glass bottles and candles. They all sit upon some leftover striped fabric I had on hand. The blues and greens all work well with the adjoining living room space. I also hung my DIY Christmas Card Holder on the wall – although it is currently rather sparse this early in the season 😉
DINING ROOM SOURCES: Chandelier | DIY Christmas Card Holder | ‘Joy’ Napkins | Glass Bottles collected through the years from various stores (similar) | Bar Cart | ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’ Print | Velvet Pillow Cover | Plaid Blanket
In the kitchen I do minimal decorating. A boxwood wreath over our range, some festive tea towels, and I call it a day!
KITCHEN SOURCES: Boxwood Wreath | Barstools | Wood Cutting Board (similar) | Striped Rug (similar) | ‘Glory to the Newborn King’ Tea Towel
In our unfinished mudroom (I still only have primer up on all the woodwork), I still like to add little decor details since this is the entry my husband and I always see when coming in from the garage. I simply added some green-toned pillows I had made in the past for other spaces, threw in a little navy, a boxwood wreath and some of my favorite Lindsay Letters prints and considered it done! It definitely feels much more beautiful to come home to than if I leave it in it’s true, unfinished state!
MUDROOM SOURCES: Antique Copper Chandelier | ‘O Holy Night’ Print | ‘Auld Lang Syne’ Print | Boxwood Wreath | Navy Velvet Pillow Cover | Striped Pillow (same fabric) | Green Trellis Pillow | Plaid Barbour Boots
Let’s head upstairs and check out some of the bedroom spaces!
The first room in our home to get the royal Christmas treatment was our guest bedroom. I decked it out in reds and plaids – the same ones I used in our living room last year. I absolutely love how festive this space feels now!
GUEST BEDROOM SOURCES: Wingback Headboard | Chandelier | Bench | Similar Roman Shades | Duvet | Plaid Pillows from HomeGoods (old)
In our master bedroom, I make very few changes seasonally, but I love to hang a boxwood wreath above our bed to add a bit of festivity!
MASTER BEDROOM SOURCES: Similar Upholstered Wingback Bed | Orb Chandelier | Boxwood Wreath | Pillows sewn by me, but these Etsy sellers offer the identical Floral Pillows and Trellis Pillows
That concludes today’s tour! Thank you for stopping by! Check back in tomorrow, when I’ll be sharing even more details and updates in our living room!
I’m the last stop on today’s tour, so get caught up on all the other stops that have posted this week and check back in throughout the week for the remainder of the tours! And don’t forget to join us Friday for the link party!

Lovely home!
I find something new to uuuuh and aaaah over every time I see your home. I love the drippy icicles on your tree and I have a thing for that blue this year too.
I adore the clean lines and use of plaid. Your home is just beautiful for the holidays! Merry Christmas 🙂
Oh my goodness, your house is amazing!! I LOVE the high ceilings and clean modern aspect. Everything is just perfection too. Love, love, love the kitchen backsplash too!! And thank you for the sweet words:-)
I love, love, love your home and such pretty decor for Christmas. Your entry two story hall is always so pretty, love all those fabulous windows. I loved the traditional Christmas in your office and the pretty blue and green for the living/dining rooms too. Everything is so beautifully done. Thanks for a great tour.
so beautiful! i love the blues and greens, and love that fun tree skirt!
Simply beautiful! I love how you incorporated several different colors throughout the house. That guest room is so cute with the red plaid and the red canvas and wreath in your office is awesome!! Merry Christmas!
I love every inch of you home!! The navy, green and red are perfect and preppy! So beautiful!

Sarah your blue and green color palette is so refreshing! I adore the plaid pillows in the bedroom as well.
Top to bottom, gorgeous! Honestly, I am in awe at how much loveliness can be in one home.
Okay, the greens in your dining room… STUNNING! I absolutely love it. You know I’m all about the plaid so your entire house has been swooning.
Girl! You are SO talented!!! I love every square inch of your house and am requesting to book that adorable guest room one weekend!!!! Love love!
It’s all gorgeous and so YOU, Sarah! I love it all especially the plaid in your bedroom!
Oh, it’s all so lovely! Your office, your bedroom, those high ceilings, the plaid, gorgeous!
Can I ask where you get the inserts for your pillows? I have trouble finding ones that keep their shape. Thanks so much!
Yes! I actually get them from a site called Robey’s: http://www.wholesalepillowinserts.com/. I’ve also had good luck with the ones from Crate & Barrel! I always buy either the down or down alternative – never the poly fill ones 🙂
