Hi!
Welcome to our home!
I’m so glad you’re here!
I think I would describe my holiday style as unfussy, chalkboard-y, burlap-y, and red. π
My chalkboard window has been a staple around here for every holiday mantel…I love how easy it is to change it up!
Do you know what I love to change up even more than my chalkboards? My throw pillows!
My red and white pillows are from Wal-Mart (yup, you read that correctly), and the snowflake pillows were made from fabric from JoAnn and some felt snowflakes from Target!
This chalkboard was inspired by a photo I saw in Ballard’s holiday catalogue.
Miss L’s little chalkboard table is festive for the holidays too! I’m collecting Christmas books for her. Someday, I hope to have enough to do a Christmas Book Countdown…it will be awesome!
My tree has our family silhouettes! Love these little keepsakes!
I spray painted this star from Home Goods aΒ bright, Christmas-y red. I love it!
Β This tiered plate stand is a spray-painted Goodwill find! Score!!!
Β I hope you enjoyed my holiday home tour!
Don’t forget to pop in at the following blogs this evening to enjoy some more holiday home tour goodness!
This is part of the Christmas Party Tour of Homes that is taking place all this week- 24 bloggers are sharing their Christmas homes over 4 days…

The pillows are fun! And if you’re looking for good seasonal books, the Snowmen at Night book (or more, I think it’s a series) are great. The artwork is beautiful!
Thanks for the suggestion, Megan! Totally going to check that one out! π

Thanks, Jennie! π
I’m SO inspired to see all of your adorable chalkboards!!! I painted the inside of my fireplace and my fridge in chalkboard paint and I have a chalkboard in my living room. I first saw your window and thought, I could do that! Then, worried about having too many chalkboards! No way! Yours look amazing and tell me I can do it!
Love your home tour!
~Amber π
Thanks, Amber! π Can you really ever have too many chalkboards?!
So beautiful! I LOVE the chalkboard chair, and the Christmas tree made from twigs – did you make that? It’s a great idea!
I wish I could say that I did…it was a gift last year from my mother-in-law…she has great taste! π
Love your home! Where is you “joy” pillow from?
Thanks, Jen! It’s from Kohl’s (last year). π
Thanks!
April, your home is so lovely! All the details are so sweet. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
Not sure why I’m looking at Christmas tours in June, but I’m enjoying it! π Yours is so pretty, April! Each time I visit your blog I’m reminded how much I’d love to find an old, sectioned window pane! Will have to keep searching! Love your beautiful blog!
HA! That’s hilarious! You have to start getting inspiration early, right?! Thanks, Kendra!
I LOVE all your Christmas decorations! I’m sooo inspired and I’m so glad I found your blog.
I also love the low black hutch/buffet in your kitchen. I’ve been looking for something like that. Where did you get it??
Thank you so much, Erin! I got it at Crate & Barrel. π
