Christmas 2022 House Tour

Welcome to our two days of decorating the inside of our house tour! We spent Black Friday and part of Sunday putting up our Christmas tree and decorating. We spent one full day outside and I'll try to photograph that tomorrow. Most everything has been collected over the years but we have a few new things this year. 

The Entry

One of my favorite little corners is here in the dining room. I found the paper LED tree from World Market and the green Velvet pillow from Home Goods.

The Dining Room

The Kitchen

It was fun to add our Christmas mugs to our under cabinet hooks this year. We've been making good use of the Santa mugs with our Espresso machine.

The Living Room

The Eat in Kitchen

The Kid's Bathroom

I added a new Christmas Shower Curtain to the Kid's bath. Every room needs to be festive!

The Master Bedroom

I dried oranges slices and made garland for the tree.

Downstairs Bath

Upstairs in the loft I removed the colored lights that came prewired with this tree. That was a long task! I added white LED lights instead.

Hope you enjoyed our eclectic, vintage, modern Christmas tour!  Sometimes I think we have too much, but then it's also the right amount. Just a lot of work that is worth it in the end.  Now to sit back and enjoy the holiday season!

Quick Mudroom Makeover

Finally getting around to this small mudroom update.  The AFTER photo:

BEFORE

I painted the wall with Farrow and Ball Aubergine (same as in our daughter's room.) We made a seat out of a piece of plywood leftover from our Murphy Bed Project and added trim.  I spray painted the shoe bins tan with a stone finish.  We changed the hooks from the silver/chrome ones to new brass ones. 

The doors got a paint job in Farrow and Ball's Sulking Room Pink (same as in guest room.) We added a new door handle in Oil Rub Bronze from Lowes. The rug is an early Christmas present from Anthropologie called the Tuft Summit Wool Rug.

Here is a view with the lights off, the color on the wall gets much darker.

The coat closet got two coats as well. 

Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving. I am stuffed!  And now that we are finally done with Christmas decorating I can get back to the gym!
