Our Christmas Home Tour 2016 - Part 2

Have you all been following along with all the amazing Christmas Tours ~ I've already

 started a collection of ideas for next year! As promised I'm back with the rest our

 Christmas tour, if you missed Part 1 our Living & Dining Room tour is here.

 Today I'll be sharing our Family Room and Kitchen.

Welcome if you're coming over from Vel's @ Life & Home at 2102 she always does

a beautiful job, this year her stunning tree is one of my favs! 

Next up on the tour is Sarah @ Thrifty Decor Chick, she is a gem and crazy talented,

she was one of the very first blogs I read, I would've never dreamed I'd be on a home tour

 with her and I can't wait to pop over and see what she has for us!      

Thank you to the lovely ladies hosting the 12 Days of Holiday Homes!!

~ Family Room ~

As I mentioned in Part 1 of my tour, I'm drawn to more simple Christmas

decor these days and foregoing all the stuff in lieu of mostly fresh greens from 

our yard and a few special items. I like to keep the colors cohesive throughout

the rooms and added a few larger blush colored ornaments to our tree.    

I loved the colors in this pillow from HomeGoods and gave in to my addiction.

How could I not, look how perfect it is with the floral artwork I found thrifting a

 couple years ago. I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it, but my friend and I were at

an antique store and came across a pair of huge brass lamps, and we each took one. 

The oversized pinecones are from a fun vacation in Lake Tahoe, I filled my suitcase. 

I added eucalyptus to the garland on on our mantel this year. 

I made the fur trimmed stockings a few years ago because we needed some that were

 larger ~ we love our stocking tradition! Santa always spoiled us with all kinds of fun surprises

 when I was growing up, and the tradition continues. 

Did you guys notice my BIG mirror was missing from my living room tour?

I (not really me!) moved it to our family room and love it.

 The gorgeous Blended Bay wreath on my hood is from Lynch Creek Farms, and

  I couldn't be more impressed! I'd never ordered a wreath before, only purchased them

from a big box store, but I'm sold. It's full, lush and so fresh! 

I've had it on my hood for two and a half weeks and it's just as fresh as the day it was

 delivered. It would be a wonderful gift!      

I accidentally spritzed mine with cleaning solution instead of water one day

 (actually the only day I spritzed) :(  So, the bay leaves on the bottom left are a tad

wilted - 100% my fault! I felt so badly that I wasn't going to represent their gorgeous 

wreath well that I tried to find replacement bay leaf sprigs - no luck, so I'm

 coming clean. I'm so sorry Lynch Creek Farms, it doesn't look bad to me at all but 

I was afraid you'd notice! I truly love it, thank you!  

This simple corner has my grandma's vintage ornaments and the framed needlepoint

florals were done by Mr. Simple's grandma.  

I like keeping a few essentials corralled on this brass tray on our counter, and added

some striped wrapping and a floral pick to a candle to give it a festive touch.   

My sweet girl, Rio!

That's it for our tour friends, thank you so much for taking the time to stop by.

 I love sharing our home with you, and always appreciate you reading and your
