Hi friends, welcome back. I think today is going to be our last video of the Christmas season for
this year, which makes me so sad, but I figured that this would be the perfect time to give you
guys a full Christmas house tour since the house is about as clean and as decorated as it's going
to be this year. We have company coming here in a few days. We're just closing out the season and I
wanted to show you guys a full Christmas house tour. So let's start here in the living room.
I guess what better place to start the video off than my favorite place or my favorite
vignette of the entire house. This seems to be your guys's favorite as well because I have
seen a lot of you guys asking questions about the items here and ordering different things.
So I just got this new sideboard table from Amazon. It was on sale for $282 for this gorgeous
piece. I love it so much. The color is so beautiful and it makes the perfect storage. We actually put
like diapers in here and toys in here and it's just great for storing things and also for displaying.
And then I also have these twinkle light trees in here that are another one of my favorite things.
It comes in a pack of three and what I like to do with them is I will fill some pretty vases or
vessels with gravel from my driveway and then I just put the twinkle trees into the vases to hold
them upright. And then down here on this side I have this gorgeous DIY faux limestone planter that
I made last winter and so I put the tallest twinkle tree in that and I love the way it looks.
I added some preserved moss and I just love how this whole space turned out.
I really like to add my wreaths over top of like hanging artwork. So this bronze wreath is from
CB2. I purchased mine a couple of years ago but they do still have them and I did see recently
that they were on sale and especially now that we're nearing the end of the season I'm sure
they're going to go on an even bigger sale or go on sale again. And then this little metal like
Merry Christmas sign is actually from Anthropologie a couple of years ago I want to say.
It's probably from Terrain but you know Terrain and Anthropologie are sister companies. And then
these cute little wooden houses are just an Amazon find. And then these really pretty amber
glass trees are actually something that I picked up from Walmart this year. So this little space
right here is probably my favorite and it happens to be the first thing you see when you walk in.
Next let's move on to the living room. I love to decorate my fireplace and add a beautiful
garland for both fall and for Christmas. And so this year I used a gorgeous I think it's nine feet
possibly a nine foot or maybe eight foot long a floral Norfolk pine garland here. And then I like
to use some of the really pretty metal like vine twinkle lights the fairy lights. You can purchase
them from Amazon. It's kind of like an Anthropologie dupe because I think Anthropologie was the first
ones to make these vine style metal twinkle lights. And then I also over here have these gorgeous
vintage Turkish rug stockings that I picked up on Etsy. I love these so much. I only purchased
two of them but that way I could use some of these knit stockings that are from Target
and I could kind of mix and match so that we have a little bit of variation here on the mantle. And
then of course with every season I always like to switch up my artwork on my frame tv. What I
usually do is I just find some kind of artwork that I like off of Etsy and use that for my frame tv
artwork. Then over here on the coffee table I have these beautiful cedar stems that are kind of
droopy. If you watched my previous styling videos I like a good droopy stem and so I found these on
Amazon and I think they came in a pack of 10 I want to say. And these were even better than I
expected them to be. I want to say I only paid like $25 at the time but I think they became
pretty popular after I posted them and after I purchased them. So the price might have increased
since then but I really love these in this vase. And then of course we added some of our Target
finds this year. I love these rattan Christmas trees from the Studio McGee collection from this
season. These are so pretty. And then of course we have the off-white Christmas tree. Let me give you
guys a closer look at the tree. So there was this influencer that I really liked to follow a couple
of years ago and she I had actually been looking for an off-white Christmas tree and she posted
hers and I immediately asked her oh my gosh where did you get your tree she sent me the link and I
purchased this one. It's a Vickerman tree which means it's really great quality and it's something
that's going to last me for many years to come. I love the color of it it makes me so happy. This
year I added some more of the vine lights just to give it more twinkle. Everybody was buying the
viral like twinkle trees from Home Depot and I just kind of wished my tree had a little bit more
lights on it so I bought the longest vine strand of lights I could buy and added that and it made
it so pretty and so magical. I love twinkle lights there is never enough twinkle lights for me. And
then I also want to point out over here in the window I love a good paper snowflake and last
year I bought a set of these really beautiful heavyweight paper snowflakes on Amazon and they
are so perfect. I love to hang them in the window so they catch light like they are right now.
They're so pretty and I love that you can see them from the outside of the house
so it not only decorates inside but it decorates outside as well. And then next to the tree I have
this gigantic floor mirror this is from Arhos. I've had a couple of questions from you guys about it
and I love this mirror so much this is one of my favorite splurges of all time and everybody who
walks in here always has some kind of compliment for this mirror because it is so grand and so
beautiful. But this year I decided to put this really long I think it's 13 foot cedar garland
it's a purchase from Target a couple of years ago but I decided to do like an asymmetrical
kind of swoop here where it flows down onto the floor on one side and of course I added some of
my signature vine twinkle lights. And then I have this really cute joy to the world garland that I
purchased from West Elm at the end of the season and that's a really great trick for you guys is
that at the end of the season most places like Pottery Barn, West Elm, Target even they'll put a
lot of their items on clearance and so it's a really great time to buy those items that you
really want to purchase but you just don't want to pay full price for. It's a great time to get
those items. Another thing I want to point out here is one of my favorite YouTubers her name
is Alison Bickerstaff. You might follow her as well because her and I have very similar styles
I feel like but she always talks about how she puts out this like really big beautiful comforter
out on her sofa during the holidays and so this year I went ahead and put this cute nutcracker
quilt on our couch and I love it so much this is definitely something we're going to be doing
every year from now on just putting a big comfy cushy comforter on the sofa and leaving it there
all season to cuddle up in and watch shows drink hot cocoa read books like it's my new favorite
it is such a vibe I highly recommend doing it. Okay I know I'm kind of losing my lighting here
which is unfortunate but the baby is sleeping and this is my only time to give you guys the house
tour but over here is my dining credenza this is a glass case from Target they don't carry this
anymore but I think there are a lot of similar styles that you can find probably at places like
Wayfair and then I have my beautiful advent calendar again from Target but it was last
year's collection so they don't have these anymore but I love this whole vignette right here I added
this cypress faux potted tree and then I added this cute cast iron candle holder with the cute
star candle charms that I got at Target this year then I have this piece of artwork from Wayfair
I love this piece of artwork I think it's so versatile and you can use it in so many different
places and it's perfect if you love neutrals and also lots of texture and I paired it with
these cute little wooden nutcrackers and then I added these beautiful lighted twinkle branches
I love these these are the most realistic ones that I have seen I got these on Amazon and of
course I'll link them for you guys down below oh and then I also need to mention this really cute
bow garland that I purchased from Lulu in Georgia it's something that I've been meaning to DIY for
the last two years and I haven't gotten around to it um so and I wanted to make another one this
year even after I purchased this one so maybe next year we'll get around to the bow garland DIY
but a little tip for you guys if you have lots of large bowls I have all kinds of bowls I just
tend to collect them but what I like to do in the Christmas season is to add some of my extra
ornaments to the bowls just to add different Christmas touches around the house and then
over here on this side of the dining area I have my pantry that I just redid if you're interested
in learning more about the details of this little pretty pantry remodel I did I have a video on that
you can check that out and that will have all the links for like a lot of these storage containers
and the paint colors and things like that but I added this DIY arch to the doorway of my pantry
and I saw on the afloral website they had this gorgeous garland it's not this garland but it's
a similar one and somebody had styled it over an arch doorway and I thought that would be so perfect
in this space and so what I did is I hung up the garland and then I added of course my vine
twinkle lights and then I added in some dried oranges and this cute little bell garland I think
I purchased this from Magnolia a couple of years ago it might still be something that is available
and then over here I used some of these really cute pine swags that I got from Target that have
the cute little bell detail I added these taper candles with the adorable little star candle
charms that Target put out in their Christmas collection this season and then over here I have
this really cute little like 118 dollar credenza from Walmart with the arch glass door detail
this is so cute and such an affordable price and over here I have my cute little record player I
love to pull out some seasonal fun records including this really cute Michael Bublé record
that's actually red so that is such a cute little seasonal touch if you just want to add like a
little bit of whimsy okay next let's move on to the kitchen I am actually believe it or not
kind of a minimalist but when it comes to Christmas I start to go maximalist so when we
take all this down in a couple of weeks I probably will feel like a sigh of relief because it is a lot
and I do I almost kind of feel like the house is really blank and empty when we take it down but
it's also pretty calming so we've got a lot going on in the kitchen this year I felt like I just kept
adding more and more to it I added this really cute garland that is like little book pages and
I love this it's so cute it came in a set of four or three no it was four came in a set of four and
these are so cute and then I in my last video you guys probably saw I made a cute little paper
chain out of a vintage Christmas cookbook so that was a really fun touch we added this year
I also probably one of my favorite purchases of this year and also one of your guys's favorite
purchases because I know a lot of you guys have been really liking these are these cute little
gingerbread looking houses from Walmart these are so cute and they're such an affordable price
they have this one and then I have a larger one like I have up there so in the kitchen and during
Christmas what I like to do is add some of my little village houses to the top shelf if you
guys can't tell I'm not very tall so I don't use these top shelves very often they are mostly for
display so I really like to put my village houses up up on top I did a really fun DIY right before
the Christmas season where I did these fake window mullions on the window to make this window look
like a cottage window it's super cute I might keep it up even past the Christmas season but if I do
end up getting sick of it it's just a sticky backing that will easily come off so I can just
peel them right off but I think it looks so cute kind of gives the house like a bit of the Rose
Hill Cottage from the movie The Holiday Vibes and then I added another Norfolk pine garland here this
one is from Afloral they truly make the best faux greenery and faux flowers faux stems they are by
far the best and then this last spring I installed a range hood into our kitchen this none of this
range hood was here this last spring and I did all of this pretty much by myself and did micro
cement over the range hood and then micro cement over the subway tile that we had in this kitchen
that I wasn't really liking anymore and the reason why I mentioned that is because I was so excited
to have a range hood so that I could put a wreath up on my range hood so if you have a range hood at
home I definitely recommend hanging a little wreath from it it makes it just so super cozy and
it just looks so cute and then over on this side of the kitchen is my coffee bar and for a while
there I was really really loving collecting bottle brush trees so I have a lot of neutral
colored bottle brush trees and instead of putting them in all different places around the house I
wanted to keep the collection all together so that's kind of a tip that I have for you guys
is that if you have a collection of a certain decor item I would try and see if you like when
you display them all together as one instead of putting them dispersed all over your house so what
I did is I took all of my neutral colored bottle brush trees and put them here in the coffee bar
along with my it's a wonderful life print that I got on Etsy a couple years ago that I love so
much it's one of my favorite Christmas movies and then over here I also added the cute book star
garland this is just such a cute little touch I definitely love adding little swooping garland
moments to the shelves especially here in the kitchen I just think it looks so cute and it
adds so much whimsy and charm so this room typically serves as our office but currently
I don't have a desk I have turned this room into like our guest area so in here we actually have
two beds we have like an actual bed and then we have this really cool sofa bed from koala
and this folds out into a queen size bed that's actually very very comfortable we love to use
this couch for like movie nights when we use our projector it's super fun very comfortable
but in here I wanted to add since it is the guest room I wanted to add just a little bit more
of a Christmas touch so again I put some wreaths over top of my frames I just love this look I
think it's so chic and so pretty and it frames out the wreaths and then I had some extra snowflakes
that I decided to hang from the ceiling added a couple of Christmas pillows and then I had an
extra garland and an extra little faux Christmas tree that I added over by the bed just to kind
of give this room its own little bit of a Christmas touch now let me show you guys my
bedroom you might have seen this room in my Christmas bedroom refresh video I did a couple
of weeks ago but I do like to add a few little Christmas touches into pretty much every room
of the house this year I decided to decorate with this beautiful bronze wreath you guys really love
this wreath I have two of them I have one out in the living room as well and I decided to hang it
just on top of the tapestry to kind of frame it out and it looks so cute I'm definitely going to
do that again this year I also love to add some lovely cozy quilts in the winter time and I have
this cute lumbar Merry Christmas pillow that I just love so much it is so cute I love that it's
brown and neutral and it just brings me so much joy and then over in the corner here I have one
of the really pretty potted cypress trees from Target you can still pick these up on places like
Poshmark or Mercari because they didn't do them this year but I'm telling you Target you need to
bring these back because these are so beautiful and then I also have some cute little star
figurines over in the corner as well and then over here on my dresser this dresser is from Lulu
in Georgia it's got the Calacatta Viola marble on the top and I just love this dresser it is so
beautiful it is something that I'm going to have for a very long time it's so well made it was a
little Black Friday purchase that I purchased for myself a couple of years ago and then I added some
really cute just like pine stems and some extra little like figural stems in this like vintage
looking vase that I purchased on Amazon and then I added a little bit of swag here onto the mirror
with this cute ceramic bell garland again this is something that is from Target that is not available
anymore but you can find them on places like Poshmark and Mercari and then just a couple of
little tinsel trees to just add a little bit of a Christmas touch okay now I want to show you guys
a room that you might not have seen on this channel because I don't show it very often but
that is my daughter's room she's two and a half years old and we just have like a lot of pink
happening in this room so for both of my kids I love to do a Christmas tree every year for them
and we had a rose gold it's really pink but I had a rose gold tree back in like 2016 when rose gold
was like taking over and so I thought to myself even before I was pregnant with my daughter that
wouldn't it be cool if I had a little girl someday and I could turn this room into a little girl's
room and use my rose gold tree and here we are with her adorable rose gold tree for the last
several years I've been collecting Christmas books and so in both of the kids' rooms they have
these fun open bookshelves and I love to display all of our seasonal books here and it's great
because the kids love to pull out their favorite books and sit down and read them or we'll read
them before bed and they also double as decor and they're great because it gets the kids reading
and I also every year for Christmas get the kids a new ornament for their trees so the kids' trees
has all of their cute yearly ornaments and just like something that they can collect throughout
the years so I love that little tradition growing up my grandmother always bought us grandkids a
snow baby so if you've never heard of snow babies they are these adorable little porcelain figurines
and my sister is so sweet she has started Loxley on her own snow baby collection and so Loxley is
getting a new snow baby each year for Christmas from her auntie and it's just so cute something
really fun to put out during Christmas I love this little bookcase area usually we have a few
more toys in here but I don't know where they've gone I need to like restock the toys in this room
and you're probably going to hear me say this over and over again in this video but this is just one
of my favorite rooms I love this room so much it's so happy and joyful and it's just so fun to decorate
for a little girl and then the very last room that I wanted to show you guys is another room
that I don't show very often and that is my 11 year old son's room so of course like I said both
of my kids get their own Christmas tree and each year I love to get them a ornament for their
Christmas tree that way we can commemorate each year typically what I like to do is to get them
something that they were interested in for that year so my son had like a period of time where
he was really into fortnight so I got him a cute little fortnight ornament or like this last year
my daughter she's two and she absolutely loved going out to the garden and picking strawberries
so I found this really cute felt strawberry ornament for her tree so I just love that
tradition and then in his room he also loves a good Christmas book so I have his like own little
collection of Christmas books in his room and he asked me to please put the advent calendar in his
room right next to his bed so that he could do it every morning he has not been that great because
today is the 17th wow is it really the 17th already yes it is that is wild and that is it
for the Christmas house tour it feels a little surreal to be closing out with our final Christmas
video of the year but I've had so much fun sharing all of my ideas and my decor with you guys I have
been loving reading your guys's comments and hearing your feedback and if you watched this
far into this video I just want to thank you so very much for being here I have so many amazing
ideas at least I think they're amazing I have so many ideas for 2026 to share with you guys I
