Meegan’s Christmas Decor Tour

December 1, 2012 By Meegan 17 Comments

Welcome!!  I am so excited to give you a small tour of my Christmas decorating today!!

Usually just before Thanksgiving I pull out the Christmas decorations.  I try to be creative and decorate differently than I have in the past.  This year was no exception.  It was a great project for me.  I hope you enjoy!!

Your tour begins right now….

We have 3 small trees.  This year I placed them in separate rooms.  I even flocked 2 of them myself.  Easy and they look great!!   You can see that I chose colors that reflect my taste and flow with our home style.

This is a view of our kitchen shelves and computer area.  Hubby loves the snow globes for the grand kiddos to see and play with.  Also in this picture is a book page garland with coffee filters, and my Miss Mustard Seed Knock-off ornament.  On the far right is just a glimpse of my sticks I dressed with snow flakes, icicles and birdhouses.  I like this picture because too, because you can see the tree and chandelier in our bedroom!!

This is a small peek at all of the decorations throughout our home.  The guest bathroom, the living room, our bedroom, and kitchen.

This was my first Nativity.  A friend bought it for me during her trip to Italy.  It is one of the several Nativities I own.  Hubby collects snow globes and I collect Nativities   I like this one in the cloche.  The worry doll was brought back from our son’s mission in Guatemala.

In this collage, you can see my glittery bird houses (I bought them for a $1-painted and glittered them up to match the colors in our home-easy!!!), my book page garland, more snow globes, and our bedroom tree and decorations.

Our “Elf on the Shelf”.  He is actually from the 50s and my mom’s.  He has always been a part of Christmas for our family since I was tiny girl.

These are in our TV room, and special to me because my grandma made these ornaments.  She is now gone, but I have these to remember her by each Christmas.  Don’t you love that cute couple??  That is Hubby and me on our wedding day!!

A full view of my branches with the snow flakes, icicles and glittery bird houses.

 A closer look at the bedroom tree,chandelier, and Nativity.

My grandpa’s croquet box filled with snowflakes, candles, and bulbs.  The  Christmas pillow was made by niece Denise.  The sleigh filled with my grandma’s homemade toys, was a gift from my dad.

I love this picture of our kitchen shelves and snow globes.

 I thought you might like to see just a couple more Nativities that I own.  The bells were a gift from my grandma the first year we were married.  They always find a place in the Christmas decor.

This pedestal is behind my kitchen sink.  The gingerbread family was made by my niece Denise.    (Yes, that is real cinnamon on them!!)  The Christmas village adorned my grandparents fireplace mantel every year when I was a child.  I love that my grand kiddos get to see it, too!!

A vignette with my ornament knock-off.

 Our book shelf in the living room shows off all the Nativities.  I especially love the white Nativity in our  bedroom.  Here is another view of the kitchen.

I gathered all of my angels on a pedestal to be raised above another Nativity.

Our guest bathroom.  The birdhouse has got the be one of my favorite gifts from my father.  I love how this room is filled with Christmas lights for our visitors, like you!!

    Your home looks so pretty all dressed up for Christmas. I like how you used the colors of your decor to coordinate with your Christmas decorations.

    Hi Meegan, I’m Anne from Life on the Funny Farm (https://annesfunnyfarm.blogspot.com), and I’m visiting from Make It Pretty Monday.

    Such beautiful decorations! I love nativities, too. I’m on the hunt for them right now b/c I want to give one set to each of my 6 kids their last Christmas before leaving for college. We’ll buy the nativities and make the mangers. First one this year, so wish us luck!

    Anyway, thanks for posting this. If you’ve never visited yet, I hope you can pop by my blog sometime to say hi…
