My Christmas Home Tour

Today, I am sharing my CHRISTMAS HOME TOUR! Ahh, are you as excited as I am? I am thrilled to be joining in on the Holiday Home Tour fun hosted by Kendra from Joy In Our Home. The tour consists of myself and 18 other bloggers showing off our holiday decor throughout our home.

I get a little "holiday-happy" this time of year and go a bit crazy with my holiday decor. I try to make sure every room in our home is decorated for the holiday season, and this year was no exception. I have decided to let all the pictures do the talking for this tour, and trust me, there are plenty of them. I will post links to all DIY projects at the end of the post in case you're interested!

I hope you enjoyed that very lengthy tour! 

As promised, here are the links to all our projects:

Ornament Wreath - Floating Ornament Trees - Ruffled Tree Skirt - Santa Beard & Mustache - Christmas Pillows - Christmas Wreath Frame - Wood Pallet Christmas Tree - Wood Plank Coffee Table - TV Stand Makeover

I hope to post a few more tutorials before the holiday season is over, including DIY stockings, my holly berry "M," and our floating hoop ornaments.

Also, be sure to check out the other 18 bloggers' holiday home tours listed below.

Fall Home Tour: 2014

Welcome to my long overdue, ever changing 2014 Fall Home Tour!

I'm not sure why, but I always struggle with decorating for fall. Although it's my favorite time of year, I never feel like my fall decorations measure up to what I had in my head. Christmas is so easy to decorate for because you just throw ornaments into every bowl, vase, and canister in the house. But shouldn't fall be the exact same only substituting ornaments for pumpkins? 

Despite my difficulties, I am finally satisfied enough to show off my fall-ified home. 

When decorating the living room, I tried to keep all the blue and just add pieces of orange where ever possible. I started with the orange pillows and just continued from there.

I always love to bust out some of our fall photos during this time of year. These two have been used for the past few years: one of our engagement photos and Lucy as a puppy laying in the leaves.

Next up, I made my fall vignette, trying to stick to using mainly orange. 

"fall in love" printable 

CONFESSION: DIYer fail, I didn't actually make anything included in the vignette (besides the printable), but what can I say? School has been keeping me crazy busy! I did get creative and fill some vases with popcorn kernels and a fall scented candle, though, doesn't that count?

For the dinette, I decided to use gold instead of orange. I really like how all of this came together. The shelf, ampersand and vases were all things I had in the house and I just added the garland and mason jars to make it look more complete.

I was hoping to crochet an orange blanket to use during the fall as well, but there are just not enough hours in the day. I guess there's always next year!
