« Christmas Tour of My Home »
December 14, 2009 39 Comments It's time for the Christmas Tour of Homes with many homes. I'm so excited! It is going to be so fun to take a peek into everyone's homes decorated for the holidays! Can't wait to show you a bit of what I have up right now.
Welcome to my house all decked out for the holidays!
I usually let my husband decorate the outside but he is simply too busy this year and declared he had no time to hang one single light. I actually like the house with out lights out side, so I did not mind in the least. I bought this wonderful mesh this year and hung this up with some garland. I actually have some large round ornaments left to hang up as well, but the weather turned very cold, very quickly, and I was not brave enough to venture out there to finish. Hopefully this week.
The nutcracker collection, of which I have too few! I have to refrain myself from not purchasing more. Really what I want the absolute most is a nutcracker as tall as my husband! Wouldn't that be grand in the foyer!
the girls made this one, not so circle-y, but they had fun with this task! Note to self, hot glue all the ornaments first!!
My front staircase with the many, many ribbons on the posts with the monkeys keeping guard.
more photos of the front staircase. I used two separate garlands twisted together here
the back staircase
This is the mantel in my family room and this year I took 4 separate garland pieces and twisted them all together, took a few nutcrackers, santas and misc ornaments and horns and I simply LOVE it!
this is the table in my foyer
Oh, and Elf on the Shelf, the sneaky little guy that I have forgotten to hide, twice!

The gold tree in the middle of your mantle looks very similar to something I have. I bought them in a set of 3 different sizes and I found them at TJ Maxx a few years back. I love them!!!

I love all of the decorations! I am so not good at that sort of thing. My mom never really decorated for the holidays, so it's not something I grew up with, but I would really like Christmas to be special for my daughter.
I love nutcrackers, too! I got my first one at 9 when we lived in Germany. I don't have nearly the collection you do, in fact, just a few. But it's one of those things I've thought about getting more in to.
Your front door looks amazing!

Beautiful! You are a talented decorator!
You have such stylish Christmas decorations!
Oh, how beautiful! I love it all... the front door is so pretty! The tree.. the mantel.. the monkeys (wait.. did I just say "monkeys" while talking about gorgeous Christmas decorations? HOW did you make monkeys fit in? And yet. you did....). The nutcrackers "crack" me up.. mainly because my boy adores them and has his own collection. AND.. he really, REALLY wants a lifesized one. Just like you. Might be a little disturbing, but I'm trying to not think about it. If you find one that doesn't require taking out a loan, let me know...
You are just SO talented.. thanks for welcoming us into your home! Merry Christmas!
You decorated so beautifully! I'm jealous of the nutcracker collection. I'd love to have one but know they'd all get broken :(
I love your decorations!!! Your house looks just stunning!
It looks beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas my friend!
Monkeys were unexpected and so they really made me SMILE:) Merry Christmas.

gorgeous home as always!
