Our Christmas Home Tour 2015 ~ Part 2


Hi friends! Thanks so much for checking back for Our Christmas Home Tour ~ Part 2.
If you'd like to catch up with Part 1 ~ our Living Room and Dining Roomgo here.  
I'm thrilled to be joining a talented group of bloggers that Marty @ A Stroll Thru Life
rounded up for another year of fabulous inspiration! If you haven't seen her beautiful
tour you're in for a treat, it's a must! 
Welcome if you're stopping by from my stylish friend, Shannon at Burlap & Lace,
it's easy to fall for her chic style. 
Today I'm sharing our Family Room and Kitchen, the simplicity of fresh greenery,
a few special touches and pops of pink paired with my neutrals won me over this year.


I was able to capture a little bit of our Colorado snow for you before it melted.
Detail Boy, (don't know where he gets it) my teenager, gets credit for the wrapping the
 tree branches in lights.  
I'm not sure why our chimney lights looks white, but they're all red, 
a long time tradition to make it easier for Santa to find.


I decorate the three large window boxes on the front of our home and urns on our
porch with greenery from our yard. 


Come on in...
if you'd like to start with the entry go here for Part 1 of our tour
  
We have an open floor plan, and the kitchen and family room are the hub where 
everything happens. We love to cozy up in here with the fireplace, I didn't 
think you'd appreciate a photo, but our tv is in the built-in behind the tree. :) 


I made the fur trimmed stockings last year, and purposely designed a generous size.
I love filling them to the brim with treasures, for certain you'll get your favorite
 candy along with and a new toothbrush. Haha!   
It's one of our favorite traditions on Christmas morning. 



Our neutral backdrop makes it too easy to change up the colors, which works perfectly
with my indecisive personality. This time I brought out a couple of my favorite Ikea
 black and white pillows to pair with pink. It doesn't even look like the same room as


Another one of my infamous abstracts - I scribbled with a pink sharpie. 
I added a necklace of gold and silver bells to give my demure lady bust a bit of whimsy,
 and the pink poinsettia gives some color to our shelves.  



I kept our coffee table simple with a bowl of gold beaded apples, and
a few accessories on an acrylic tray. 


Our Kitchen
If you're new here I gave our kitchen a budget makeover with a LOT of paint and
 DIYs not long ago. I still love my formica countertop on our island. You can check




I love changing up this functional vignette seasonally, the silver pitcher and
 trophy hold cooking utensils and a huge brass tray I found thrifting corrals 
all the other necessities, flowers and wine. :) 



One last look at our tree...



...and our sweet Rio girl, being a good sport, once again.


If you'd like to check out our Christmas Tour from 2014 go here,
I kept the pink, but the living room and dining room have complete new looks, 
no surprise there!

Next up on the tour today is Laura @ Decor To Adore.

Our Christmas Home Tour 2015


Hi friends, I'm so happy you're stopping by to check out our Christmas tour today,
welcome if you're new to Simple Details!
If you've been following the 12 Days of Christmas Home Tours    
I don't have to tell you the inspiration has been fabulous so far! If you want to
catch up these tours were earlier in the week:  

Jenny @ Evolution of Style 
Amanda @ Dixie Delights

Today I'm sharing my living room and dining room and next Wednesday my
 family room and kitchen. I LOVED the pink that I added to our Christmas decor last
year, and decided to enjoy it again, but change it up a bit. I've purged a lot of Christmas 
decor over the past couple of years, it feels so good to keep it simple instead of
hauling boxes of things I'm not crazy about up from the basement.  
 I didn't buy a single thing, except...
 Oh, and some grocery store flowers that will last forever. :) 

Living Room


I love all of my Craigslist finds, in case you didn't realize, every piece of
furniture in this room is from Craigslist or a garage sale. I'm a big proponent of
the 'buy what you love and it will work' philosophy. 
    

Did you guys plant Paperwhites when I reminded you? :)
I'm sure mine have a head start, I wanted them in bloom for my
party on the 1st and for this tour. They're 37" tall!   




The poinsettia pillow is a Pottery Barn Knock Off I made several years ago.  



Dining Room


This buffet has had nine lives! 
You probably don't recognize it from my Christmas tour last year,
it was in our living room ~  painted gray and and had a hutch.  
I ditched the hutch, gave it a modern vibe with high gloss white paint, and
changed out the hardware.  







 A row of Ikea lanterns filled with gold and silver ornaments, nestled in greens
from our yard are an easy centerpiece down the center of our farm table.   


Here's a sneak peek of our tree I'll be sharing next week.
