Our Home at Christmas, 2015

Merry Christmas Eve to all of my wonderful readers who celebrate!

Here are some glimpses of our holiday home decor this year. I can’t wait to do more next year when we’re more settled in.

On our front door, I used a simple faux wreath from Michael’s and the same black and white striped ribbon we used on our tree.

In our dining room, we added a wreath I found at Homegoods to the wall behind our reclaimed wood table. It originally came with a (tacky) silver bow and some plastic snowflakes, so I cut those off and it’s just lovely! 
In a nook near our kitchen, I added a beautiful magnolia and pinecone garland to our gold bookshelf. I also used it to hang our stockings since we don’t have a mantle.

In our kitchen, I added preserved boxwood wreaths from Bella-Marie.com and used striped ribbon from the dollar section at Target that was a close match to our tree ribbon to create bows and tie the wreaths to our chairbacks.

I added a few holiday touches to Harper’s room too!

We put our tree in an area that’s wonderfully empty— it’s off of our living room and before the hallway that goes to the office. Love that we have this space!
I hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday with your families!
