Holiday House Walk

Happy Holidays and welcome to my home!!!!
I am joining in on the Holiday house walk at Jennifer Rizzo's!

As a decorator, I decorate a lot of homes for the holidays, so when it comes to my own home, I really just like to add simple and subtle touches of holiday without getting too thematic. I like to add various shades of red and green, but they are items that don't scream Christmas...
hopefully you will see what I mean!    
 This is a book shelf that has a map decoupage treatment.   I've added an elf my son made in preschool along with some candlelight. 
  The plant acts as a little tree and creates a scene.

 This is a game table I have in my living room.   I added a green wine bottle next to Santa and framed 2 vintage holiday cards.  The green and red chair is always there, but looks more festive as I placed other items in this corner.


 I added berries to this basket.  I always have this basket hanging there.  I just change out the items I place in to it depending on the season.  
 Here I added a simple green plaid throw and it made it feel more festive and ready for Christmas.
 This is my favorite area in my dining room to decorate for the seasons.   I added a branch with vintage ornaments, an old paint by number painting with fresh greens and candles.   


 This is my kitchen window.   I hung a piece of embroidered material and pinched and pinned to get this look.
 Added green glass...

 Simple touches...
 This is my bathroom featuring a chalkboard wall and a vintage tablecloth. 
 I added a plaid shower curtain, green glass wine bottle/vase with red berries, and lime green candles to coordinate with the vintage tablecloth window treatment.
  and some holiday towels. 


Here are a few daytime shots that add a different effect!

 green glass + sunshine = pretty
 These are vintage cards found at a rummage sale.   I added green scrapbook paper behind the one card to act as a matting.


  Hope you enjoyed a little peek inside my holiday home!  Thanks for stopping by!!!
