Christmas House Tour

2015 My Christmas House Tour

Tour my house for Christmas Decorating Ideas.

I am finally getting around to trying to show photos of my house in one post to give you an idea of the whole picture.  Please take the tour and I hope it inspires your decorating ideas for Christmas.  Though I am most in favor of Remembering the meaning of the Season!  So enjoy yourself but do not add stress to your life and family by decorating anxieties! These are images from Christmases past at my house. ( Some of the photos are not as good as my new photos.)

Christmas Mantel decorating in the dining room - 2015 House Christmas House Tour

So let’s start with the dining room.  The dining room used to  be the family room and the office until it was combined as one room with the taking down of a wall.

Wreaths inside and out in the living room.

So yes I am a little crazy but I put wreaths on the insides of the living room windows opposite the outdoor windows.  Now I used the suction cups for all of my wreaths inside and out.  They hold the wreaths, even the heavy ones,  in snow sleet and hail.  Uses the largest ones for heavy wreaths.

Some of my nativities in the corner cabinet with British Castles in the background.

This corner cabinet is in the family room.  I open up the doors and put my nativities right in with the dishes.  Often, I add greens as well.

Some old some new.

I add my largest nativity village which I have had for many years and which used to be around my grand

parent’s tree.  The village was started by my grandfather for his oldest son about 100 years ago!

    Your home is absolutely stunning!! Could you please tell me about your large black chandelier over your dining room table? I inherited the exact same one and have been searching for years to find any information about it!! Do you know the maker? Any bit of info would be so appreciated!!

      HI Robin, that chandelier was one of my special purchases atleast 14 years ago. It was called Lieutenant Moses Willard. I don’t think they are sold anymore (It was made in America)> I hope that helps.

    We are going to see and possibly purchase a reproduction Wythe House. It has been on the market a long time considering this market is so strong. The bathrooms need over hauls but all the kitchen needs is new appliances and countertops. I can’t understand why it has been on the market for 272 days. it really looks like a “good bones house”. It was built in 1965 and is on the golf course where a major tournament is held. All the houses in the neighborhood are more expensive.
