Christmas Home Tour: How to Set a Festive Scene

This year of all years seemed to be a good time to start decorating my home earlier than usual. In fact, I started decorating almost an entire month before I normally do, and this year I called in reinforcements for help in making my home truly a festive and beautiful space to be in this holiday season. It’s been such a tough year on everybody, my kids included, so I felt an extra duty to embrace the holiday season and create a special feeling in my home filled with the Christmas spirit. Come along as a take you on my Christmas home tour and show you how I set a festive scene for the holidays this year.

Christmas home tour — My mantle is adorned with this gorgeous greenery, filled with eucalyptus, pinecones, white berries, and vintage mercury glass ornaments. I love how the monochromatic white stockings look here – they don’t take away from the grandeur of the mantle – while the white birch logs give the space a woodsy feel.

White branches — How stunning are these white branches? They are from mesquite trees that grow here in Arizona and have been painted white to match the decor in my living room. Interior design coffee table books and a chunky white throw complete the look of cozy/casual, with still a hint of elegance.

My white bookcase gets a few festive touches – some mercury trees and frosted mini-trees. I don’t like to overwhelm this space with too many knick-knacks, otherwise it seems too cluttered for my taste.

cozy corner — I love this cozy spot to enjoy a good book or one of my food & wine magazines!

Our bar cart gets into the holiday spirit too, with a lush garland spilling over one side and a a big glass jar of fig leaves and natural branches.

Our barn doors that lead into the backyard get matching swags – a small nail holds the ribbon in place and can be easily removed for a quick take-down!
