Hey there and welcome to my Christmas home tour!. Last year we had just been in our home for a few months so I wasn't able to spend the time I wanted decorating. I'm still trying to figure out how to decorate in my small (to me) space, using natural elements and not cluttering my rooms with too much, but it's coming together.
I know you came here for the sights and not my sounds so let's begin the tour.
I didn't decorate with any special theme in mind but I did end up using a lot of red and green. The usual traditional Christmas colors.
The tree is decorated simply this year. Colored lights for the Mr. and some of our ornaments from when the girls were babies. I also used jute webbing as a simple garland around the tree.
It always seems to take me a while to decorate for the holiday, as I'm always rearranging and tweaking. Next week I'll share my new guest bedroom decorated with some holiday cheer and our front porch stoop.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Happy Holidays!

Hello K! Tried to view your blog yesterday, but my laptop kept cutting out! I finally was able to see it today and I love it! Very pretty and simple! I know what you mean by moving things around. I was just doing that this morning! Will stop by tomorrow to see that "porch"!
Kristi says
Hey MJ! Glad you could make it. Internet problems are the worst and we are so dependent on technology nowadays.
Thanks for stopping in and for the xmas decor love. Simple seems to be what this house calls for, that and the fact that I hate clutter. 😉
Off to tweak some more and finish that stoop post.

So many pretties! My fav is the bucket of greenery with the logs and lights. How cute that would look on each side of a front door outside.
Kristi says
Thanks Shannon. I'm a fan of the greenery in the basket too and did do another one on my little front porch. I'll be sharing it on Friday.
I stopped your blog and I just love your trees that you shared. Your main one is gorgeous.
Thanks so much for visiting.

I love how you have little bits and bobs of Christmas all around, but it's not screaming and in your face that you've decorated for Christmas. My mom's side of the family loves decorating for Christmas, but they are horrible decorators, so no matter where you look, there's Christmas something, but it's just not quite right.
Your space, however, has Christmas everywhere you look, but it's cohesive and everything looks like it belongs! I love it!
Kristi says
Thanks so much. I really appreciate your kind comment. I have a small space with little surface area for decorating so I've had to learn the art of restraint. 😉

I have been excitedly waiting to see your Christmas home tour. I must say it is fabulous! I love the simple uncluttered look. Your take on the logs, evergreen and lights in the basket turned out even better than the pin you shared with us. Looking forward to seeing the guest room. Thanks for opening your home to us.

Awww Debbie. Thanks so much. Your comment really made my day! The logs and evergreens I showed on Instagram were on my front porch. I will be showing all that next week.
Thanks so much for reading and for all your support.
