Cozy Ski Lodge Inspired Christmas Tour

It’s that time again! My elves and I have been busy decorating for weeks (ok, so really I have been decorating and my kids have been “helping” and then I rearrange everything when they go to bed at night -he he he),  and I’m so ready to share my holiday decor. I’m excited to be part of Jennifer Rizzo’s Holiday Housewalk again this year as there are so many talented bloggers participating, so be sure to visit all the homes and soak up the Christmas decorating ideas!

Special hello to you if you are coming over from French Country Cottage. Courtney’s home is always so gorgeous! Thank you also to Joss and Main for sponsoring this year’s tour, I received some awesome goodies from them for the tour.

Ok, let’s get started. I went with a sort of Scandinavian/Red/White/Cozy/Ski Lodge (phew I know it’s complicated sounding) theme this year, and it was so much fun. I used a lot of cute cardinals, so this little faux tree from Joss and Main fit in perfect in our front entry.

Now that it’s finally December, my kids are excited to use this advent calendar that I found at H&M.

Swing on into the kitchen where I made this cute DIY tea towel art (see the how to here).

My kitchen is right next to our living room, so let’s a take a peek at my mantel, (you can see full details here). I got this gorgeous quilt block sign from Little Bits of Everything Etsy shop and the quilted stockings were a Joss and Main find.

Vintage Ski Christmas Tree

Oh, and there’s my fun tree! I stuck a pair of vintage skis right in the tree this year (I won’t mention how many times I knocked the tree down attempting this…).

I also found these cute skis in the dollar bin at Target, which I customized by painting red stripes down the sides.

More cute cardinals made an appearance in the tree too!

The sunroom became my wrapping station this year, and it was so nice to have room to sprawl out in the sun and pretend it’s not freezing outside. I found this cute ribbon at Joss and Main.

Of course our dining area got a little Christmas makeover too.

I filled this vintage wooden box with tree clippings, ornaments and felt ball garland for an easy centerpiece.

  8. So many things in these photos of your beautifully decorated home, it would take a long time to point them all out. The greenery , pompom garland and red balls…the hanging wreaths…and for my home to bring my drop leaf table to a more natural finish and the window seat in your sunroom are just what I want in our gallery. Merry Christmas! Linda

  10. Kelly,
    I love your flocked tree and your theme for this year. I’m really drawn to your photography. Your pictures are so clear and vibrant. I am still really working on my skills in this area and I love when I see someone take pride in their photography. Your buffet table is wonderful too. Great tour this year.

  13. This is absolutely lovely!! Can I ask where the console table behind the couch is from? And also the wood hood above the stove? Everything is so beautiful!!!

    1. Hi Jennifer I scored that table at a local decor shop for only $100! It’s broken which is why I got such a great deal, but a little wood glue took care of things.

  14. I love everything about your Christmas decor! Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us. More inspiration Kelly style.

  15. I just adore the theme you picked! I’ve always wanted to stay in a fancy ski lodge in the winter time – I never thought to just make it happen in my own home ;) You are so inspirational! That was a very lovely home tour.

  18. Everything looks beautiful Kelly!! I wish you could come to my house and decorate for me!! ;-) HA!
    Thx for sharing !!

  19. I love it! It’s colorful, fun and oh so festive. All the other homes seem to have taken the less winter/Christmas decor approach. They leave me a little flat. But, your lodge has me dreaming of snow, the singing of carols, and being surrounded by the smiling faces of family and friends. Have a wonderful Christmas!

  20. Absolutely stunning Kelly! I love all the crisp white and red – and your flocked tree is amazing. Oh, and that sunroom… I’m still working on my husband! I am off to pin the heck outta this tour now!! Gorgeous inspiration:)

  27. Oh your house looks so cozy and beautiful. That’s what I like about the way you decorated everything — beautiful yet touchable. I like your wrapping paper. I’m a nut about coordinating paper under the tree!! I bet the house is chaotic on Christmas morning!! Love it!
