my home - 12 days of christmas tour of homes
The day has finally arrived! It is my day to host the 2nd Annual 12 Days of Christmas Tour of Homes and I'm thrilled that you're here. If you came from Cyndy's tour at The Creativity Exchange welcome. And if you are here thru a misguided Google search, welcome to you too. Basically, welcome one and all. Take a look around while I make your virtual cocktail.
In the entry this year I decided to reuse the ornaments and ribbon from last year's mantel for a bright and happy mix.
Each year we save the bottom of our Christmas tree and make a candle holder out of it (writing the year on the bottom of the stump to keep track). It's turned out to be a great memory and it is fun to see how we obviously vary up our tree size each year.
This year's tree was no joke. Last year was tall and skinny, but this year is big in every direction.
When you put plaid all over one room, it has a way of seeping into other areas of the house. Plaid is too good. It will not be denied. So let's plaid up the dining room shall we?
Love mixing my B by Brandie plates and chargers with my grandmother's old Spode Christmas dishes. And I believe it was the excitement of that mix that led me to forget the silverware. Oh well, we are just drinking during this tour anyway, right?
Christmas lights Amelia made her first year of pre-school brighten up the kitchen along with some drawings the girls did and our annual Gingerbread house. Oh, and what's that on the lampshade? Yep, that would be more plaid. I can't be stopped.
Herbie got his seasonal antler change and is ready for the season too. No one in the house is immune.
Even the hand towels in the bathroom have gotten festive thanks to Anthropologie. They say dish towel, I say hand towel. Tomato tomaato.
My parents finally got rid of the tree that they've had for 45 years (no that is not a typo - FORTY FIVE years) and willed it to us. So as I mentioned yesterday, we added the tree to the family room this year and it is already full of all of the ornaments the girls have made and collected over the years. I love having the tree that I grew up with, I swear it used to be bigger, and it is the perfect thing to look at while I sit on the couch with the hubs and endure another episode of The Walking Dead.
The pom-pom pinecones the girls' made a few years back sit happily next to the tree along with a mismatch batch of ornaments.
And that my friends is my house all dolled up for Christmas. Thanks again for coming and be sure to stop by Stacey @ Steward of Design tomorrow! And if you haven't checked out all the rest of the tours, what are you waiting for already?!

Cheers and Happy Holidays!!

Speaking of mantels, this year's mantel turned out to be all about plaid, bark and fresh foliage. How very rustic of me.

A snazzy group of men (and some animals) standing at attention while we eat. Maybe they took the silverware. Amelia's ever growing Nutcracker collection has relocated to the dining room this year until Eve moves on from her nutcracker...discovery phase. I can only glue them back together so many times.

12 days of christmas tour of homes
Happy December everyone! For those that celebrate, I hope you enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We had a great time in Chicago, but have all come home with nasty head colds and a nice layer of ice on the ground. Winter for sure has arrived.
The countdown to Christmas is officially underway and it is time to get into the spirit with the 12 Days of Christmas Tour of Homes! Jenny from Evolution of Style and Lisa from Shine Your Light have gathered a great group of women that I'm lucky enough to be apart of. First up is Jenny at Evolution of Style and she has set the bar high, let me tell you. Be sure to check out her beautiful home all holiday'd up, and look at all the great tours still to come. Be sure to get your home ready for the link up on December 16th!

12 days of christmas tour of homes
Hope y'all had a great weekend. We are all fighting some phantom flu/cold bug that just won't leave our house and it took all the energy the hubs and I could muster to go out with the girls and get a tree. We managed to get it in the house, but now I need a burst of health to get it decorated. But, I know where I'll go for some holiday inspiration.
Today is the first day of The 12 Days of Christmas Tour of Homes. My tour won't be until next week (thank god) but today please do head over to Evolution of Style and see what a beautiful job Jenny has done with her home.

Follow along for the next 12 days for great inspiration and eye candy galore!
Have you finished your holiday decorations? Do you get a real tree or fake? Do you want to come over and help me with my tree? Happy Monday.
