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…
Here is a sneak peak at what is in store…

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!
