I know, I know. It’s not even Thanksgiving yet, however, if there is ever a time for a house to shine, it’s once Christmas explodes all over it. I decided to decorate a wee bit earlier than normal this year and I gotta say, I am not one bit upset about it. This year I found my way into the aisles of Target on several occasions [all Chip and Joanna Gaines fault] which inspired me to add a few new pieces to our Christmas decor mix. On a whim, I also decided after ten years of having the same ornaments on our tree that I was sick of them and it was time to revamp our look. Our home took on more of a traditional Christmas vibe this year with all things red, gold and a few earthy colors and it has to be the best I’ve ever felt about it. Today, I thought it would be fun to invite you all on a little Christmas home tour of sorts. Come on in, make yourself comfortable and stay until the very end because I promise, it will be worth your wait 😉

We’ll start in the most logical place to start…the entry, let’s get this tour started!

First official stop, the main living room, also known as my favorite room in the winter. It’s in here that you will find our main tree, fireplace and our main seating area. Last year we bought this flocked pre-lit tree, which I still can’t figure out if I think it looks like hairy fingers or is actually pretty. We’ll go with pretty for the purposes of today’s tour. I kinda love the addition of red and gold ornaments with little touches of natural elements in all things elks and reindeer.Flocked Pre-lit Tree // Similar Faux Fur Tree Skirt

As always, I found myself buying all of the new pillows out this year [what is it with women and pillows?!] which makes our couch equally inviting and equally annoying to actually sit down on. It’s a big tease really.

I was probably MOST excited this year about the addition of the light up stocking holders [linked below] that are all sorts of crazy adorable as I am a big believer that if you put a light on anything it’s instantly awesome.

Now that we’ve made our way through the main living room, we’ll wander over to the “outdoor room” as I call it [aka second smaller living room] for a few small touches of Christmas decor!

Off to the land of where allllllll of the goodness goes down, the kitchen and dining room of course. I love that we have a spot in our dining area to house another smaller tree. It is on this tree that we put all of the Old World Ornaments that we have been given over the years [perks of having an aunt who owns an ornament shop!] It is always my favorite putting the ornaments on this tree remembering why we got each ornament for each year as they are always themed to that year’s events. I am dying to get my hands on this one asap. I also especially love this space because when standing in the kitchen you have a view of both trees and it is the most little glorious sight to my eyes.

Now that we’ve checked out the dining room portion of the kitchen, let’s draw our attention towards the very important bar cart and my favorite area – the place where all of the cooking, dancing and eating really takes place – the heart of the kitchen!

Probably my favorite find from the Hearth & Hand line at Target has to be these galvanized house candle holders [linked below!] that we have both in our living room and on our kitchen center island as well. The LIY girls assembled this little centerpiece and I couldn’t love it more. These sugared birch candles are all sorts of winter perfection.
