Today wraps up my Holiday Home Tour with a peek into my sitting room right off of the master bedroom. This is a small space with soaring ceiling. Even with the tall ceilings, it’s cozy and warm and I am usually the only one that uses it which is perfectly fine with me. Chick flicks, HGTV, Bravo and Hallmark on repeat all day every day. This is definitely a no news zone!

I’m still loving the shiplap on the fireplace wall. It really helps break up the deep, dark navy walls. The mantel is dressed with a Christmas swag that is made of metal and I adore it not only because it is fabulous but it was a gift from my sweet friend who knows me so well! I think of her every time I walk into this space!

Switching up the look of the glass jars for each season is a quick and easy decor change. The frosted pine cone branches that I used are from Michaels. It’s a simple change but makes the space look new each time I change it out. The wooden NOEL letters were moved up to mantle last year. They are placed in a vintage chicken feeder. I’m keeping them in my space so I don’t have to walk into the kitchen and see LEON spelled out from an unknown prankster.

My flocked Christmas Tree was purchased from Walmart a few years back and I have to say it is one of my favorites. It is really flocked nicely and it’s a breeze to put together. It is so lightweight and easy to handle. I picked up another tree from Walmart last year for our sunroom and it is also a great tree. For about $120, the quality is topnotch!

I’ve shared my vintage Bell Atlantic ladder before and I bought it specifically with Christmas in mind. I knew that I wanted to hang vintage stocking from it. She was a bit rough when I bought her and some doubted my purchase but she cleaned up nicely! Love, love, love it!

I ordered the vintage stockings from ebay because they remind me of the ones my mom, dad and brothers had growing up. They even have a glitter mom and dad glued on them just like my mom did with all of ours. I am thinking of stringing some Christmas lights on the ladder, I still have 5 days to do it, right? Hmmm, maybe I should hang some lights tomorrow!

I wish that time would slow down so we could just sit back and enjoy the season. I do like the hustle and bustle of the Holidays but I am ready to slow down for a bit! I am officially done wrapping and will do some more baking over the weekend which I enjoy doing. Fingers crossed that my ebay package arrives tomorrow. It’s been delayed twice. I cannot wait for it to come! I have become completely obsessed with tracking it! I will post a picture of it on Instagram if it ever shows up on my doorstep! It was a total impulse buy and I cannot wait to share it with you in all its vintage glory!

I hope you all are enjoying the season with family and friends and have some time to take it all in this weekend before the chubby man in red flies through the sky on Monday night!

Until Next Time,

It is a wet and rainy day here…if only the temperature would drop and turn the rain into snow! Well, a girl can dream, can’t she?

I am doing another room tour this afternoon. This is my Home Office Christmas Tour. It may be wet and dreary outside but inside it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

I had previously shared my Christopher Radko Shiny Brite Village in Thrift Shop Thursday last week but I don’t think I mentioned that it is set up in my home office.

I was excited to decorate my IKEA Billy Bookcase for Christmas.

Once I got started, I realized I didn’t want to add a lot to it. I think I have enjoyed it so much since we finished it that I didn’t want to add a lot of clutter with Christmas decorations. I can’t believe that I just said that… “too much clutter from Christmas decorations” from the person that decorates 6 trees each year!

Anyway, I did add a few Christmas accents such as my DIY Believe sign, gold Christmas Trees and a Gold Santa. I also added a wreath that was originally in my kitchen and some silver glitter trees. Harry Frost, our Elf on the Shelf, has made several appearances in the Home Office this year.

We use the same stockings each year and hang them from the fireplace mantel that is in my office.

Even though Santa leaves our gifts under the tree in our family room, we have always hung the stockings in the room that is now my office. I started this tradition when we first moved to this home and the boys were little. The stocking are the last thing we open. When the boys were little, they would sometimes forget about them and remember them later on in the day and it was another added little surprise. Even though they are older, we still hang them in this room.

This year when I pulled the decorations out of storage, I decided to donate some of the decorations I no longer use. I donated three of my older trees. I ended up buying this $32 tree at Michaels. It is a very slim pre-lit tree. I wanted to add some extra decorative berries or branches to fill it out a bit more but the Gman liked it as is …hmmm maybe next year!

Three more days…I wish we still had three more weeks. I love the weeks leading up to Christmas but each year they come and go much too quickly.

Tomorrow, I will be sharing our Christmas in the City Tour.

Until Next Time,

The Home Holiday Tour Continues
