The halls are decked and our house is ready for Christmas. Join me for a tour!
The front porch:
Since the porch is an outdoor living room, I like having a Christmas tree in the corner!
Inside, our decorations are simple this year. Our son Preston had surgery on December 14, and I had just didn't have time or energy to get out every decoration. But I think things still look festive, so I'm really glad for you to come in.
Opening the door:
Peeking inside:
And now with the door thrown open wide:
Just inside the front door, looking into Jack's study:
The study:
The cowhide ottoman was a new purchase this year. It's one of my favorite things and brings a touch of whimsy to this very traditional room. Just look at the texture of the hide:
The simple mantel in the study:
And on the other end of the living room, our tree:
The dining room:
The kitchen:
Yes, that's a Lego Advent calendar on the counter. Of course.

ReplyDeletePat
You have a beautiful home that looks very comfortable, Richelle...Christine
ReplyDeleteYour home looks gorgeous all decked out for Christmas. I love that you have a little tree in your outdoor living room. I am visiting from The Nester's party. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYour home is beautifully decorated for Christmas. Thank you for the tour :)
ReplyDeleteLovely home, Richella. I especially like the color of your living room walls. Would you mind sharing what color that is? I'm searching for a similar color for my bedroom. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYour home is beautiful dressed for the holidays! I, too, love that (Duke) blue dining room. Your cross wall is stunning, and I love that Santa stocking in the middle of your fp, as well as the turq. pottery on the screened in porch. I hope your son is doing well after surgery and that you and your family will have a great Christmas!
ReplyDeleteCandice, the color on our living room walls is "Craftsman Brown" by Sherwin Williams. This room gets a great deal of warm natural light because the six French windows and transoms face South, so it looks like cafe au lait. i've used the color in other locations without many windows and it looks more like hot cocoa. I like it both ways. Hope this helps!
ReplyDeleteYour home is stunning! I so enjoyed your feature at SH! I am happy to have found another favorite blog!
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing your home! LOVE that ottoman, fabulous! Your decorations look beautiful. XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour of your home - it's lovely! Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI know Christmas is well over but just wanted to comment on how beautiful your house looks, so homely and inviting. Also love the fact you have an extra Christmas tree on your porch.
