Christmas Home Tour 2019

December 22, 2019 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

The trees are trimmed, the gifts are wrapped, the treats are made and all the Hallmark movies have been watched multiple times. Since I have spent most of my time lounging and watching countdown to Christmas nonstop, I have to do one big home tour this year instead of room by room. Next year my friends, I will be more productive! Until then, let the tour begin.

We also made a video tour which you can check out here.

The Sunroom

Let’s start in the sunroom which is where I have spent the majority of my time this past month. Yes, you guessed it, this is where the movie watching occurs.

A few months ago, I switched out the carpet and the curtains. I like this look so much better than the blue that was in here. It wouldn’t be a lie if I told you I had Christmas in mind when I made the switch.

Look at this vintage light up Santa that my dear friend sent me this year. I am obsessed with him. I finished off this look with a mini flocked tree and a tea light candle in a decorative jar. This is my favorite vignette this year.

Moving on to the Family Room

Most of my decor remains the same from year to year. The only new addition is the tree skirt that I got on sale after Christmas last year from Magnolia Market.

Oops, I forgot…the skates are new to me this year as well.

Next we will head into the dining room.

I kept this room pretty much the same as last year. I did add the basket with greenery and red berries. I love my stamped spoons with the 12 Days of Christmas.

Next, we will head upstairs.

This is the sitting room off of our Master Bedroom. I love this little space. Notice the vintage stockings on the ladder. I picked these up on ETSY last year. They remind me off the ones my siblings and parents had when we were growing up.

When my son moved out, I redecorated his room. We added this vintage mantle that used to be at our island home. It’s not quite finished but I love it.

Here’s a quick peek into my youngest son’s room. It is so cute and festive.

I hope you enjoyed this quick tour into our home. Merry Christmas enjoy the Holiday Season.

Until Next Time,

My Christmas Home 2017

December 22, 2017 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Here we are again.  Two and a half shopping days left until Christmas.  I am so happy that I am done and completely wrapped!  Today the hubs and I went to the mall and it felt so good to be able to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the other shoppers without any stress on us. We enjoyed a nice leisurely lunch, picked up a few odds and ends and came home. I actually like to shop for others and I tend to do it year round.  When I see something I think someone would enjoy, I pick it up and keep it hidden until Christmas. I also keep a running list of what I have purchased throughout the year in my journal.  Next year, I am going to wrap it when I buy it or so I tell myself!

Now on to the last tour of My Christmas Home. I hope you enjoy.  Today I will share our foyer and my home office.

My Christmas foyer with garland draping the front door and Santa there to greet you as you enter.

My front door wrapped in garland and lights.

These two tables flank the front door which is draped in garland. The gold bowl on the table is filled with vintage milk glass Christmas light bulbs and the Nutcracker is at least 25 years old, another oldie but a favorite.

Decorating for Christmas using Vintage Items

Decorating for Christmas with a vintage demijohn bottle

I picked up this vintage demijohns bottle at our local vintage/ antique Fair.  I usually have two feather trees on the foyer table but I wanted to do something different.  I sprayed some branches with white paint and added glittered snow while the paint was wet.  I then hung our personalized snowmen ornaments on the branches.  I have a personalized ornament for each family member and extended family member. I got this idea from my friend’s mom.  Her little tree was so adorable and I loved the idea and have been doing it ever since.  My mom started me off with my first three ornaments with our boys name on it.  Hallmark used to carry the snowmen ornaments but they haven’t had them in years so I search ebay whenever I need to add another new family member.

If you look closely at the banister, you can see another favorite of mine.  My mom bought me this Santa when I first got married.   Now he sits on the banister, he is one of the first things you see as you enter out foyer.  If I remember I will post a close up of him on instagram.

My Christmas Home

Banisters draped in garland with DIY Reindeers waiting for takeoff.

If you look in the right hand corner of the photo, you can see the DIY reindeer my dad made for me when I first moved out of my parents home into my first apartment. When my middle son was little he would climb on them to see if he could make them fly.  I miss those days!

I only took a few photos of my office.  It pretty much remains the same each year but I took photos of the new additions.

My home office decorated with a DIY flocked pencil Christmas tree

The pencil tree is the same one I used last year.  I bought it at Micheals for a steal.  It wasn’t the prettiest tree I have ever seen but I wanted something skinny and cheap!  This year I flocked it and I think it’s an improvement.  Although, I didn’t follow the directions for the flock, it turned out pretty well.  You were supposed to wet the tree and gently sift the snow while spraying  more water as the snow was falling.  I did that in the beginning but that grew old quickly. I did spray water on the tree then I tossed the snow in a thicker application followed by more water. Patience is not something I am very good with apparently.  I let this dry for several days before I attempted to carry it upstairs into my office. Yep, you read that correctly, I did this all inside.  In my defense, I did put a tarp down first!  Lastly, I cut up a feather boa from the craft store and placed the pieces on the branches for a snowy look and added some red berries.

Decorating my home office with Christmas throws and pillows

I added a few new Christmas throws and pillows to add a bit of brightness and cheer.  The other new item I bought was this fabulous green metal K.

Decorating my Billy Bookcase for Christmas

That wraps up the tour of My Christmas Home.  I truly love decorating for the Holiday Season and creating new memories with friends and family.  I hope you and your family enjoy the Holiday Season and Have a Merry Christmas!

Fall Home Tour

October 27, 2015 By stylishrevamp 2 Comments

I am finally getting around to my Fall Home Tour with a bit of Halloween fun mixed in as well.  I pulled out all of my Fall and Halloween decorations several weeks ago.  Then I went through all the boxes only to realize I am ready to get rid of the majority of my decorations.  Last year I didn’t decorate inside because we were in the middle of renovating the entire main floor so it has been awhile since I have gone through everything. It’s funny how your taste changes over time.  I still enjoy a few of my pieces and the memories they hold but the rest of the decorations are getting packed up for Goodwill.

Fall Home Tour in the Kitchen

This year I am adding a few touches throughout the house.  In the kitchen, I have placed a few pumpkins around and have even used a cookbook for decorating.

Decorating with Cookbooks

  I am keeping it super simple this year.  Something the Gman is not all that happy about.  He keeps asking if I am going to do more.

Decorative light up pumpkins

Decorating with Mini Pumpkins on a decorative ladder

As for the outside, I like to add some large pumpkins, mums and a fall wreath to our door.

Outside Fall Decor

I also like to decorate the outdoor fireplace a bit too.  I made this mini wreath with vines found in our back yard.  Then I wrapped the vines with faux leaves.

pumpkins and planters of mums on the front porch

This is how I like to decorate for Fall and Halloween…

BUT this is how I decorate for the Gman (the other three males in this household could not possibly care any less what I do when it comes to decorating).

Halloween Graveyard Stroll

This is how the Gman likes our house to look…

Halloween Fright Night

and this is how I like it to look.

Outside Fall Decor

So it was a compromise.

Happy Halloween!

Until Next Time,
