Hello hello! What’s that? You want to see MORE Christmas house tour? I’m pretty sure that’s not what you said, but I’m joining Lindsay’s house tour today. She has a lineup of fanTAStic bloggers sharing their homes, so I am happy to join. Bloggers and tours. We like ’em, eh?
I showed most of the house tour the other day, but there were still a few spaces that hadn’t been “spruced”. And then there’s the outside! Gees. Slow your roll, JaG. Here’s the front entrance. The one that the UPS guy and well…the UPS guy sees. Except he would be faced with that vicious, killer dog you see in the background. And he would likely be wagging his tail. (The dog–not the UPS guy.)
The garland is a favorite for me, but I stayed in the green tones this year. While I keep the garland pretty basic, I will add a pop of color to change things up. This year, I’m crushing on green, so I didn’t really have to do much! 
Our mudroom doesn’t get as fancified, but I did add a sparkly neutral wreath. I think the winter coats, snow boots, and gloves decorate this space just fine on their own.
I had some extra fresh garland left over from the front porch, so I hung it in the kitchen. Me likey. Some large satin ribbon was really all it called for.
The wreaths are artificial, but I always plug some real greenery from the backyard to help it blend a bit. I love long-needle pine, so I like to add it where I can.
And finally, my daughter’s room. I made this tree bulletin board (more on that later), and she loves the beanbag for her reading nook. Uhhh…who wouldn’t? I could easily take a three day nap in that thing.
I kept it relatively simple for her room since pink and glitter can be a bit much. She’s quite thrilled with her little tree village, so I called it good.
If you missed part 1 of the Christmas tour, hop on over! There’s plenty more house to see.
Up next on this awesome tour is Kelly at Eclectically Vintage. Good luck ’cause you’re gonna want to stay a while when you visit her! Want a full schedule of the week’s homes? Here you go!

Chris, this is just beautiful! Wonderful job and thank you for joining us!!!
I love when dogs crash hour tour posts. It makes me smile. Your place is beautiful!
I bet your UPS guy is the envy of UPS guys everywhere – getting to see your gorgeous decorations and having a tail wagging dog great him to boot!
Love all your natural garland – and the way you used it to spruce (no pun intended) up the fake wreaths.

Love your bannister and wreath on the chalkboard wall! Very nice!
Love the fresh greenery around the window, and your puppy is too cute!!
Chris, your home is absolutely beautiful! I am loving your garland on your staircase with the feathers…it is so pretty! I am going to have to remember this next year and leave my feathers out after Fall…gorgeous! 😉 Jesse
Have been looking for exactly that kind of beanbag for a while. Wherever did you find that please?
The beanbag insert came from a kids’ furniture store years ago, but the fur cover is from our grocery store. 🙂 If you live by one, it’s called Meijer. Good luck!
Hi Chris,
Came over to say hi and see your tour. Your place looks lovely, nice and festive, I’m loving that sparkly wreath in the mudroom.
