Well hello there! Happy tour day! While I’m excited to share my home’s Christmas cheer with you, I’m overly giddy to see what the other bloggers have done! Basically, I’m giddy to see all the ideas I’m gonna swipe from them. Would you believe me if I told you I’m not even done decorating yet? Of course you would. ‘Cause that would be a dumb thing for me to lie about.
Soooo I’m stop 1 (duh), and after you visit here, you can see my friend (and inspiration!) Nester at
I’ll have the list of bloggers at the end of this post, and be sure to check back! I’ll be updating all their links through the week. Okay–enough talking. Here we go!
The theme outside is lots of greenery. Nothing too complex, but I like it to welcome our guests!
I kept the dining room at a minimum this year, but I focused on the china cabinet. Have you ever tried to photograph items in a black cabinet? Gees. We’re talking rocket science here.
You know I love the neutrals, so I went with some gold-tone trees to match the room. Really, anything with glitter is my friend.
The main room always gets the most attention ’cause that’s where we spend most of our time.
I haven’t changed up the tree in a couple years ’cause…you know, I like it that way.
The mantel, however, is always getting a new outfit. She’s spoiled.
I’ve been covering things in sweaters for years (it’s an illness), so why not add some sweater presents? The satin ribbon…drool.
One word: Fur. I can’t get enough of it.
My poor son’s room. I change that sucker constantly, and it’s having identity issues. I l-o-v-e decorating for such a masculine space, so I can’t leave it alone.
Yes. I jumped on the deer head bandwagon. Judge me. I dare you.
Like it doesn’t totally belong in here.
The kitchen is getting it’s own special touches still, but you can see how I decorated the table already. Clearly, we eat like this every day.
And finally…our room. My husband hates the color red, so I don’t decorate with it. But it’s Christmas! I need some red somewhere, right? I figure he spends most of his time in here with his eyes closed, so maybe he’ll never know. 
So that’s most of the house. I’m still tweaking a couple of spaces, and of course I couldn’t leave out Little Miss’s room. AND I haven’t shown the outside yet! We’re getting dumped on with snow right now, so it’ll be nice and white.

Everything looks beautiful, Chris. Sophisticated but festive! A great reflection of your style. Hope your Christmas is filled with joy!
I love it – such an elegant space for the holidays. So beautiful… especially that gorgeous tree!
Beautiful! And yes, the deer head was a must-have in your son’s room. You had no choice! Thanks for sharing and for putting together such a great line up!
I love the outfit on the mantel…that wrapped sweater is adorable! I’m a red lover so I think the bedroom is gorgeous…at least your hubby doesn’t have to live with it for too long. Beautiful decor! ~Sonya
Those presents? Gorgeous!! Every thing looks so lovely, Chris.
And that hubby of yours better be thankful for the sanctuary you created. Our bedroom? Not so much. 🙂

OH, my, I just complained about how over done some houses are and so trendy. I said I don’t do house tours anymore….but I do love your house so I checked you out! Your décor is lovely, clean, sophisticated, charming and not trendy. I love it and now will do more of the members on your tour.
Absolutely beautiful Chris! I think your sweater wrapped presents are genius! I’m so happy to see something unique! This is going to be an amazing week of homes for sure!
Loved the comment of the husbands eyes closed! haha! laughed out loud for sure 🙂

Just beautiful, Chris. I still can’t get over your table- it looks like a magazine!!!
Love your mantle! And the deer looks fantastic on that wood wall! Just sayin’.
Beautiful! I wish I could get around to decorating more than the living room. Love that deer where did you get it?
Hi, Chris,
Jennifer Rizzo “sent” me.
Enjoyed your Christmas tour and I LOVE your writing style.
You’re already one of my “home pages” and I guess I should sign up for your emails, too.
Merry Christmas!
It’s beautiful. The sweater presents (!) and your table setting tie for my two very favorite things 🙂
Everything looks so beautiful! Great job!
I love your tree! Wondering if it’s real or artificial? If artificial, where can I get it?!? Thanks!
Your home is so gorgeous! I am in love with the mantel and the packages. So pretty!!
Thanks for letting me be a part of the festivities. I appreciate it so much!!
xoxo
Chris, it’s lovely, And now I want plaid throws too, And your kitchen table?! It’s glorious!
Thanks for hosting and for inviting me to join in, xoxoxo

Love the tree–so when it works keep it that way! And I really like the fabric/blanket over the dining room table. Neat touch!
Sigh… every time I visit your page I get this incredible urge to leave work so I can do something pretty to my place. Your home looks BEAUTIFUL! I love the new mantel set-up over the fireplace!! I must try it!!
Blessings to you and yours this holiday season.
Cheers!

Chris, How lovely everything is. It’s hard to tell you what is my favorite. Love the sweater presents and satin bows on the mantle. Jackson’s room is FAB…Love the plaid throw with the deer head. Perfect for his room, and such a cool Christmas tree. He can lay in bed and truly enjoy how you decorated his “area”. Your bedroom is georgeous! Had fun going to each new red item. Lovely bell wreaths on the mirrors and those three red vases. I like your style honey compared to some of the other homes. You decorate with class and style without being junky looking. Love it. Mom
It’s all so beautiful Chris!! Adore the sweater packages on the mantel…that may be one of my most favorite things I’ve seen this year! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
Merry Christmas!
Heather
so enjoy the Christmas tour . It is great to escape for a few min into your lovely homes without leaving my home. Merry Christmas !
I am enjoying the tour and the red and white is beautiful
Chris,
Where did you find the plaid throw in your sons bedroom?
Beautiful job Chris! I always love how you keep your season decor simple, clean, and pulled together. The touches of plaid throughout are fab and the sweater-gift mantel is brilliant. And of course I’m loving the deer head! I added one this year too. Not sure if you’ve seen my home tour yet, but he’s in my dining room :).
Everything looks SO pretty ~ and I can’t get over those sweater presents! This is such a great line-up of talent!!! 😀
It’s all so lovely! I love all those pops of red and the way you set up your table. Beautiful!
Your home is gorgeous…it’s tastefully decorated (although I hate that term) it’s homey, welcoming, and festive! In short it’s “perfect.” 🙂
Will you share on how to do the sweater gifts? PLEASE.
Happy Holidays to you and your family. ~Karen
I just want that bedroom wall and the plaid stuff…can’t wait to redo our bedroom! Wait. Wha? Haha! Looks gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
Just beautiful as always!! Love your mantle and the touches of red in the bedroom! Merry Christmas to you and your fab fam!!
What an amazing home you have! I really love the presents on the mantel- so clever! It has been so much fun to see all of the homes on your tour. I would love to participate next year if you need bloggers!

I love it, every room. I’ve decided, with my three boys, I need more plaid in my life. Live how you used it on the table!
I love your deer head much better than many I’ve seen? Will you share where you got it? Beautiful!
Wow! Everything looks fabulous! Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us. Happy Holidays!
