2020 Christmas Tour

It seems like just a couple months ago we were taking down our 2019 Christmas tree, and here we are again showing you our 2020 Christmas decor. Normally I have this all up on the blog by the first week of December, but since we got Covid on Thanksgiving, I was very delayed. It's December 23rd and my post is going live...so better late than never, right?! ;)

Welcome to our living room for Christmas! We also decorated the kitchen and dining room, but I didn't have time to take photos. This year we went with a flocked faux tree from Walmart of all places and I couldn't be happier with it. It looks so nice and I, for one, adore flocked trees! My husband took some convincing, but he has since come around :)


We got the 6.5' tree because our basement has 7' ceilings, so we wanted to be able to alternate this tree from upstairs to basement each year. The flocking looks so good and with some fluffing when it came out of the box, I'm really impressed with this Walmart find (not sponsored!)

I went with a metallic and blue theme this year for both the ornaments and gift wrap. I love the icy look it gives! And it goes with our living room palette!

My little model ;)

I added some blue hued ribbon to our stockings to tie the blue in with the red stockings.

This velvet ribbon is my favorite!

I used the same faux greenery garland as last year and added some ornaments in spots and then wrapped fairy lights around it. I programmed them to come on every night at 5pm; it's so fun!

This is our front entry way right in the living room, so I added a simple gold wreath and called it good.





As always, our nativity scene is one of my favorite things. It's made from olive tree wood in Israel! I also love that it's wood, so it's not breakable for future kids.

I added one poinsettia on either side of the bookcases to bring some red in (by my husband's request!) and I love how they turned out.





Not necessarily Christmas decor, but I did get new pillow covers for the fall/winter months and I love them!



Our tree ribbon is also a velvet ribbon trimmed in gold and I'm in love with it!!

My mom got me this ornament last year since it was our first year in our first house and it's my favorite one!





Okay, so Lincoln had a little photoshoot ;)



I hope you have a Merry Christmas, however you're spending it this year!!

Our Holiday Home Tour

Can you believe it? We're just 10 days away from Christmas! I feel like it came so fast this year, but I probably always feel that way ;) Today I'm showing you around our home for the holidays! Welcome to our Christmas home tour...

Living Room

It was so fun to decorate our builtins this year!



You can see more of our tree here.

It was a little tricky getting the builtin styling right since the tree is in front of the left side. In order to balance out the weight of the tree on one side, I put 2 small yarn trees on the right of the TV and did our nativity scene on the right side since it's darker in color. On the right, I put my favorite decor in sight and still styled behind the tree in case you see it from a different angle. 

I kept it fairly simple with a couple poinsettias, Christmas bowl full of candy (my grandma gives me a new piece of Spode Christmas serveware every year, so it's fun to display a couple items.


On the right side I did some of the white and glitter houses I had, the manger scene, a Christmas bell, poinsettia, and a bowl of pinecones I sprayed white a couple years ago. 

I found these adorable trees at a local store and I just love them!


Our manger scene is made of olive tree wood and was bought in Israel by a friend of ours-- she gave it to us for our wedding gift and I absolutely love it!







Look at that face ;)

In the kitchen I changed up our chalkboard, hung a wreath on our vent hood and added a couple other touches here and there.


I love these rosemary trees from TJ's! I get one every year and put lights around it.




Our dining room buffet just got a hint of Christmas with a frame, plant and another Christmas bowl from my grandma.


I went wreath crazy this year ;) This hangs in our dining room window.


I put string lights on our headboard and some fresh greenery on our nightstands in the bedroom!




I hope you enjoyed the tour; thanks for stopping by! Tomorrow I leave for my parent's house in CA and I can't wait to spend some time with them for the holidays. There's no place like home :)
