I've been battling a bad cold since before Thanksgiving, and the past few days I have finally been feeling chipper enough to decorate for Christmas and take some photos. So, before Saint Nick comes to visit next week, here's our Christmas home tour!
My holiday Chalkboard was inspired by this Elli Party Invitation |
I have almost all of my Christmas gifts purchased and delivered to our home thanks to internet shopping, and I've even been making some felt ornaments while sitting bundled up in my chair with a box of kleenex close at hand. My husband has been taking such good care of me while I'm under the weather! We're super excited to have our family from California coming next week to spend Christmas with us (safe travels, you guys) and I'm so thankful just to be feeling better and for their impending visit that I couldn't ask for anything more for Christmas.
I have so much to catch up on in preparation for our Christmas and New Years celebrations that I probably won't have a chance to post on my blog again, so today I'm wishing all my dear followers and blog friends a very, very
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
May all your Christmas dreams come true!

Note: I've received many questions about the woody pillow and red truck pictured here on our Christmas Home Tour. The "woody car crewel embroidered lumbar pillow" was a birthday gift last year from Pottery Barn, and the "red metal truck" was purchased at Hobby Lobby online.

I enjoyed the tour of your house and marveled at the wonderful changes you have done over the years.
ReplyDeleteMy favorites were the chalkboard sign, your black hutch all decorated and the centerpiece of a box filled with trees.
Have a Happy Christmas!
Laurel, your home tour is one of my favorites this year! I love your clean uncluttered style, and your photography skills are so impressive, too! You've restored your home and decorated it to perfection and I love it all! I want your chalkboard!
