12 Days of Christmas Home Tour

December 10, 2013 By Meegan 32 Comments

Hello Hello!!  It’s MY turn to share my home for the 12 Days of Christmas Home Tour.

I am thrilled to have you here.  We live in a 950 square foot condo, and I like to fill it to the brim with Christmas.  So let’s get on with the tour…

Welcome inside our home.  As look you around you will see Christmas vignettes and nativities throughout the house.  Just the way I like it.

Along the bar you will see Hubby’s Snow Globe collection. Look here to get a closer look.

12 Days of Christmas Home Tour

From this view you get a tiny glimpse of one of our 4 Christmas trees, bookshelves, my thrifted coffee table, and the Nativities I have collected for years.

In the kitchen, our open shelves are a focal point.  My mom’s husband made the wooden candle holders for me.  The nativity set is one of my VERY first nativities.  I enjoy setting it out each year.

Grandpa’s croquet box is always in use around here.  I collect blue bottles from thrift stores and use them any way I can.  I added book pages (another love of mine) pine cones and a crystallized branch to fill the croquet box.

Filling various vessels and jars with Epsom salts and natural elements brings a soft and natural feel into our home.

I made this natural and rustic garland with jute, pecans, and 2 kinds of  pine cones.  EASY PEASY.

These precious snow angels were my Grandma’s in the 40s.  Don’t they look like they are ice skating on the vintage mirror??

I adorned my thrifted shutter with my DIY Dollar Tree Wreath and a simple Merry Christmas ornament.

These lovely blue book shelves are in our living room.

I flocked the Christmas tree in a terracotta pot and sat it right next to my blue birdhouse filled with lights, and my book page wreath.

 A nativity under a cloche’ adds so much class, don’t you think?

  I stacked our office shelf with my glittered birdhouses and empty frames.  Simple and effective.

Even our guest bathroom has a little Christmas for our visitors.

Our bedroom Christmas tree is adorned with blues, golds, silver and crystals.

One of my many “Shiny Brites” ornaments from my grandma’s collection.

Also from my grandma is a small village with bottle brush trees.  They are mixed in with all of our snow globes.

In our living room we have a small tree in a floral box.  It is filled with snow flakes, icicles and vintage silver “Shiny Brites”.

I really could not miss sharing my sticks with crystals, berries, icicles, and snowflakes.

Lastly, my vintage sleigh holding another tree.  This tree is decorated with my pine cone garland.  Santa and the other toys were crocheted by my sweet Grandma.

As you can see, I like simple Christmas decor, I like to use what I already have, and I LOVE Christmas decorating.

Thanks for letting me share my Christmas Home with you on the 12 Days of Christmas Home Tour .

It is an honor to have you here.

    Oh my! Your home is decorated so pretty for Christmas! It took a long time to scroll through your pictures as I had to stop to admire each detail. I like your nativities and think it’s wonderful that you collect those. I have my grandmother’s Madonna collection that she used in floral arrangements that I need to put out as part of this year’s decorations. The wooden candle holder’s that your mom’s husband made are really neat. I’m going to show this to my husband – he would enjoy making a few of those! Thanks so much for sharing your home with us.

    Hi Meegan, YOu’re going to think I’m a little nuts. Somehow I posted my comment on the wrong post!!! But I love all your Christmas decor. The vintage angels are my favorite. I have a few that I picked up at the flea market. It’s nice that you have the ones inherited from your grandmother!

    Love all the sentimental touches, Meegan! My favorites are your grandmother’s sequin ornaments. Putting them in a glass jar is a perfect way to highlight them. I think I’d keep them out all year just so I could look at them! Love the nativity in the cliche too. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home :) XO

    Meegan, Your home is so beautiful. I love all the the decor colors and with your added touch of Christmas it just feels so calm and soothing. I feel like I need to go sit on your couch with a big ole cup of hot chocolate so I can enjoy it some more. Thanks so much for sharing, it’s been an honor to be on the tour with you :)

    So festive and inviting, Meegan! I’m a little jealous that you live in a 950 square foot condo — I am betting you are not a slave to your home like we are! We still have our kids to raise so we’re in a big home with a yard for now, but some day we will live small and love it! And, I love that you can decorate every inch — just lovely! So happy you shared your beautiful space with us! Merry Christmas!

    Just now getting to the tour, found your site from Pinterest. Love your decor, the trees, the nativity scene on that beautiful bookcase, the bell jar, your colors and vintage touches. I did pin it.
