{Christmas Home Tour 2016}

Welcome to my 2016 Christmas Home Tour!  Christmas is my absolute fav & I'm not ashamed to admit that I start decorating the first of November.  It's a LOT of work & I want to enjoy it as long as I can.  There is nothing more magical than the glow of Christmas lights inside & out and if I could, I would leave them up all year. =)

Let the tour begin! {Be prepared...there are LOTS of pics!!}
Come inside!  One of my favorite additions to my Christmas decor this year were these $3 houses from the Target Dollar Spot...love them!
 
My office is fairly simple...a nativity & a tree with all of my favorite ornaments!  I collect ornaments from my travels, special events in my life, etc.  Love that each one of them have meaning.
I kept my guestroom simple as well with a few black & white touches.
The laundry room got a few Christmas touches too...the Cheer pillow is from Kirklands & I made the sign with the help of Erin at Erins Craft Days on Etsy.  She made the custom vinyl stencil for me & then I painted it (I got the Christmas Tree Farm stencil that is seen on my porch from her as well).
My bedroom is one of my fav's...come on in!
  
  

A very close second as my favorite room is my living room.  I absolutely LOVE my tree this year...and didn't spend any money on it!  I reused everything I had from year's past.
 
 
 
I continued the black/white/red into my kitchen/breakfast room.
{ps: I've also loving my new light fixture!!}
 
That's it!  It makes me so sad just thinking about having to take it down in a few weeks. But, for the first time in my life, I am actually done shopping & the gifts are wrapped so I am going to enJOY the next few weeks.  No stressing...just me, Nola, the Christmas tree & Hallmark movies! =)

Thanks for stopping by & Merry Christmas!  You can follow me on Instagram here.

    1. Hi Kimberly! The table was a hand-me-down that originally came from a local furniture store where I live. It was in pretty rough shape when I got it so I had to refinish it...stained the top & painted the legs. The chairs are from World Market. Wal-Mart actually carries a Better Home & Garden line that's really similar. Hope that helps!
