    2016 Holiday Home Tour: Vintage Glamour & Sparkle

    Christmas Decor, Decorating, Holiday & Seasonal, Home Tour

    Whether your style is vintage glam, traditional, rustic or farmhouse, you’ll find plenty of Christmas decorating ideas to inspire you on this holiday home tour.

    Today, I’m throwing open the doors of our home and giving you the grand holiday home tour of our Christmas decor.

    Whether your style is vintage glam, traditional, rustic or farmhouse, you'll find plenty of holiday decorating ideas to inspire you as you tour this lovely home decorated for Christmas.

    My style tends to the vintage and traditional, so I’ve used lots of glitter, glass and gold to decorate for Christmas, especially in the more formal spaces like our living room and dining room. But I also like the rustic, farmhouse and cozy side of vintage, and our outdoor, family room and kitchen Christmas decorations reflect that.

    I believe you should decorate with what you love, even if that means mixing styles and bucking trends. I love that our home is a unique reflection of our family and that so many of our Christmas decorations hold special meaning and have a story to tell.

    Now, let me share some of those stories with you…

    Welcome to my 2016 Holiday Home Tour.

    We’ll start on the front porch. I’m a southerner, so I believe in big front porches and monograms and heaping doses of hospitality.

    I also think it’s perfectly acceptable to put fancy furniture on the front porch. (But that buffet only looks fancy; it was nasty and scratched and on its last leg before I brought it home and gave it a makeover.)
