Hi Everyone! Welcome to my Holiday Home Tour. I have been sharing all sorts of fun Christmas decor over the past few weeks, so I thought I would put it all in one place. Come on in!
Ok, wait, back it up a minute, let’s start outside :)
I decked out the front of our house this year with lots of faux poinsettias…and bouncy balls…
You can read about the bouncy balls here (hint those aren’t giant ornaments in my window boxes!)
Next stop, my North Pole pack your Christmas tree in your suitcase entry way.
(Read all about the hives, spiders, and hunters oh my…here)
Stop off for a little kitchen vignette (which is totally impractical and the Mr. keeps complaining about pine cones by his cereal bowl :) )
Swing on thru to the family room and our tree.
Don’t forget the fireplace mantel.
My jingle bell centerpiece in the dining area.
Oh and my favorite project – my Christmas Chalkboard.
That’s what I have so far, I have a few more projects on the to do list, but I’ll leave you with one last shot of the Christmas Tree (and a little peek at the lake in the evening – sooo pretty!)
Merry Christmas!

Beautiful decorations in a beautiful home, and I love your chalkboard!
I painted some chalkboards this week (gifts and for me) and am having a hard time waiting the 4 days it says to wait before conditioning them and writing….
Yours must have taken a long time, but what a wonderful verse.

Thanks for the tour.
Natalie says
December 15, 2012 at 12:50 amWhat beautiful holiday inspiration! I love how you used your collection of crochet hoops as a wall display. You’ve also inspired me to start collecting different sized glass jars for candles next year. It’s such a pretty way to create a lit display and bring warmth into a room. Thanks for sharing.
Katie @ Creatively Living says
December 15, 2012 at 5:16 pmKelly, I’ve seen you comment on my blog before, but I had never been to yours….I’d been missing out! Your place is fantastic! I’m loving all of it! Incredible job. I’m not a huge “pinner”, but I’m pinning away!
Have a blessed weekend!

December 16, 2012 at 8:16 amEverything you’ve done in your home is exceptional, what talent you have for making your home so welcoming and cheerful. There’s not one thing you’ve done I didn’t love, who wouldn’t? I’m a new subscriber, came over from a special walk. Merry Christmas to your and yours. Look forward to seeing what you do from now on. If it’s anything like what you’ve done for Christmas I know I’ll be a long time subscriber.

December 17, 2012 at 12:46 pmLove everything you did for Christmas decorations. I was wondering about the ribbon on your tree, the Happy Holidays ribbon. Did you stencil that or did you purchase it from a store
Merry Christmas,
Lisa
Kelly @ thelilypadcottage says
December 17, 2012 at 8:25 pmI bought it like that – so easy! Hopefully they still have some :)
Kristin @ Simply Klassic Home says
December 17, 2012 at 4:32 pmI saw your living room featured on Hometalk’s FB page and didn’t even realize it was yours! Kelly, you have some real talent; everything is just beautiful. I think the sign over the mantel is my favorite.

Sarah says
December 18, 2012 at 1:56 amKelly, You’ve got a gift! What a wonderfully decorated home! But not so fru-fru that your guests can’t just kick up their heels and relax! I love the jingle bells with snowflakes. Where did you find those?
Ann Krucek says
December 18, 2012 at 2:50 amI pinned your chalkboard last week and just found your entry way on Pinterest just now – not realizing it was from the same wonderful blog!! Very nice. love your work!

Samantha says
December 22, 2012 at 2:28 pmWhat a beautiful home! I wish I could stay for a holiday in that house. Have you got Holiday Letting Agencies to look at that? It’s so beautiful I bet it’s rent would cost a lot.
Heidi @ Honeybear Lane says
December 29, 2012 at 1:53 amSo glad I discovered your blog today! I took the whole home tour and Christmas tour. You and I have VERY similar decorating styles so it’s great to see some fresh inspiration! Beautiful home, love your view! I also shared on my FB page.

Kate Craig says
November 16, 2013 at 12:01 amWow I’m am in love with the outside and entry way!! I tried following the bouncy balls link and it said I didn’t have permission!
Kate Craig says
November 16, 2013 at 12:05 amI couldn’t follow the entryway link either :(
Kelly says
November 20, 2013 at 2:04 pmHey Kate! I got my tech guy on it and it is all fixed, sorry about the trouble and thanks so much for giving me the heads up that it wasn’t working!
Rachel says
November 24, 2013 at 2:20 pmLove the chalkboard! Tell me about the round candle holders in your entry….love them!
Your pine branch adventure sounds like something that I would do. LOL
Kelly says
November 25, 2013 at 2:27 amHey Rachel, I found that candle holder at HomeGoods a few years back but I know Pottery Barn has one similar too!
Lauren says
November 25, 2013 at 1:47 pmYour home is stunning! Do you ever sell any of your creations…chalkboards, Christmas sign, etc.?
Kelly says
December 3, 2013 at 4:10 pmHey Lauren, not at the moment, someday I hope to but my little ones keep me too busy right now :)
