Woodland Glam Christmas Tour {2014}

12/09/2014 By Bre

9 Dec

Welcome!!! I’m so glad you are here today!! Before you continue onto my christmas home tour, click here, in case you missed my post from yesterday where I shared a bit of my heart, and my heart for you, yes YOU, as we celebrate this wonderful season, and not allow ourselves to get stuck in the trap of not feeling good enough 🙂

I feel like today is the grand finale from my entire year of blogging. As this past year comes to an end {which I can’t even believe I’m writing!} it feels like it all comes down to Christmas! Which I absolutely love. I mean why not end the year with a BANG!! And I L.O.V.E. seeing everyones beautiful christmas home tours year after year! The other reason I feel like it’s the grand finale, is because this post has to single handedly have the most pictures than any other post I’ve done this year. So welcome, come on in, and I hope you’ll stay awhile and relax.

I figured there was no better way to properly welcome you, then to have you enter our house as if you were truly here. We live in a country setting, in a traditional New England house built in 1846. It has been fully updated, but we love all the charm and character it still has.

We have a farmers porch that runs down the side of the house, which leads straight into the kitchen. We use this as our main entrance, so come on in!!

 

Our kitchen is primarily white, and painted Grey Owl by Benjamin Moore. So I focused on bringing in simple touches of fresh greenery. I love how it pops against the white, and brings in just the right amount of holiday spirit.
On our island, this tray usually houses our fruit bowl and a white pitcher of fresh flowers, but for winter I filled it with different sized mason jars filled with faux snow, bottle brush trees, and pinecones.

 

It sparkles just enough, while still feeling like a wintery display
 that can stay up even after christmas.
To the left when you walk through the door we have a bench with crates underneath
to hold all our shoes.
Here’s where I displayed our Advent calendar, which you can read more about here.
My vintage maple syrup bucket is constantly changed out for the seasons.
For christmas I filled it with fresh pine and juniper branches, along with these beautiful lit snow covered branches, you can find them here.

 

On the other side of the kitchen I hung a beautiful boxwood garland to display our christmas cards on as they come in the mail.
It’s the perfect spot to display them, and remind me of all my family and friends I am so thankful for.
The boxwood garland is also from Save-On-Crafts. They have some beautiful boxwood selections at great prices, it was hard to not scoop them all up!

 

Our back mudroom gets the same simple touches carried throughout the rest of the kitchen.
Simple pine branches strung together and tied with twine.

 

Looking back into the kitchen we come into the rest of the house.

 

You pass through the dining room, which we will come back to {promise},
and enter the living room.
After finally getting my neutral rug, I was already dreaming of decorating for a neutral christmas.
Using cremes and whites, and tans for a soft glow of warm winter whites.
You may remember my Between You & Me sign from here. The adorable antler pillow is new from Shabby by Melissa, as well as the grey stag pillow in the photo above.

 

 

I pretty much sprinkled mercury glass everywhere I could, anyway I could!
For our coffee table, I filled the tray with my large glass hurricane stuffed with pinecones and a white candle. I surrounded the hurricane vase with more mercury glass, fresh cedar and an antler.
For our tree this year, I used a lot of the same ornaments from last year,
 and added to it.
Of course I filled it with my most favorite mercury glass ornaments,
and a mix of other silver and champagne colored ones.
First you might have noticed there are no presents around that metal bucket under the tree, we wait and put them out on christmas eve. Our 2 munchkins are totally wrapped up in the fairytale of Santa, so we play along while it lasts.
I wrapped the entire tree in this ivory and burlap ribbon, which tied in with the rest of the colors in my decor. Next for the grapevine garland, I deconstructed this wreath, also from Save-On-Crafts, which let me just tell you it was difficult for 2 reasons. First, it was so pretty as is, I toyed with the thought of leaving it alone and using it as decor in it’s original form, and second trying to start the deconstruction process was not as easy as I thought it was going to be. It made a huge mess, but now that’s it’s finished and on the tree, my vision has come to life, and I think it’s totally worth it!
I will share more on all the details going into our tree later this week, along with these cute white stag ornaments I picked up!
As mentioned previously this plush grey stage pillow is made by the lovely Melissa, who is offering one lucky reader an item from her shop as apart of my holiday giveaway!! There will be more details at the end of the post you won’t want to miss.
The white plaid pillow is from H&M, and the tan cable knit pillow I got 2 years ago from HomeGoods.
The dining room and living room flow openly with white columns diving the two rooms,
so with the open concept I carried the same feel into here as well.
I kept the table simple, with just my favorite tray from Painted Fox in the center.
I filled it with my most favorite christmas items, which I love having all in one spot
together to gaze at.
On the opposite end of our dining room is my recently refinished dresser,
that serves as a buffet.
If you caught my Between You & Me christmas sign reveal,
than you recognize this area.
If you didn’t, than you can click here to see more on that. This vignette has to be my favorite throughout the entire house. For me the icing on the cake is the fresh garland I made cascading over the whole thing. I’m not gonna lie, I will have a hard time seeing this bad boy go!
Before you walk back into the kitchen, I have three black wall ledges I love to change up throughout the year. I kept them simple this year with a few seasonal touches, and mostly just adding fresh greenery.

 

 

Even though our presents aren’t out, wrapping has begun. And even though it drives my husband crazy, I like to coordinate our gift wrapping with my christmas decor. He doesn’t get it,
but the designer in me goes wonky when I see something that doesn’t match!
All the wrapping paper you see here is either from TJMaxx or HomeGoods. I think they know what they are doing when they place them in the checkout line while you wait to go to the register. I swear one or two rolls always end up in my cart before leaving!
I like to use simple twine, and compliment it with sparkly mini ornaments, hand stamped gift tags, and fresh sprigs of whatever I have left over.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

I hope to have spread some christmas cheer to you today.
If you liked what you saw here today, I have a great holiday giveaway for you tomorrow. Filled with my favorite holiday decorating decor, and go to items for christmas. One lucky reader will receive these items before christmas, to use them in this years decor, if you want to!
And it’s not too late, if you still have had your eye on a Between You & Me sign for christmas decor,
or a gift for someone?! You can still get a 15% off discount using code,

    Hi there! I am a follower of your blog, I found it while I was on Pinterest looking for some decor inspiration. What can I say??!! Your style is exactly what I love. You home is gorgeous and I love everything about your Christmas tour. Great job! And I wish you the best and merriest Holiday season!

  31. Shannon says

    12/09/2014 at 1:45 pm

    Oh, I love this! I think my favorite part is that once the holiday passes there is so little that HAS to come down. Its such a wonderful representation of “seasonal” decorating, vs. decorating for the holiday. Wonderful, wonderful job!

  32. DIY On the Cheap says

    12/09/2014 at 1:42 pm

    In love with your decorations!!! I want to transport your white neutral christmas to my home. But we have two small boys, 3 and 1 and bottom of our tree already is bare because of the torn ornaments. The train is broken, and my youngest climbed the tree, somehow. ONE DAY!!

  37. Taryn @ Design, Dining + Diapers says

    12/09/2014 at 10:50 am

    Everything about this tour is just pure perfection! I am a little obsessed with everything that you did, the neutrals and small details are just amazing.
