When we get a sunny day {so my photos won’t be dark} I will take some photos of our home decorated for the holidays.

Until then, here is a sneak peek…

My mom painted that bowl…isn’t it amazing? She needs to open an Etsy shop for all of her paintings, right?

I haven’t been doing a traditional green and red christmas the last few years…just lots of color!

I make ornaments for the family every year…this year it’s stamped salt dough!

Just subtle this year, but enough to make it feel like Christmas.

{holiday home tour} bits and pieces

I am still working on some last minute decorating and then plan to get the house cleaned up and enjoy some time with the kiddos and Ryan once the weekend rolls around.

Here are some photos of our family room.

You will notice the trolls on the mantel and a project that I borrowed from Pinterest.

I am using the same fabric covered bulletin board to display our Christmas cards from family and friends as I did last year. Only this year I added a string of lights with ribbon tied on it as a frame {a Pinterest find}.

I also made a garland for the windows in the family room.

As you can see, I am not sticking with the traditional red and green of Christmas.

Once I get the craft room {or dining room table} cleaned I can show you the decorations I have in there.

I still have a few projects to finish up before I can get to that!

You can also see our playroom, backyard, and mantel on my {holiday home tour}

Stay tuned…

home is…may your days be merry and bright!

{holiday home tour} trolls on parade

7 Comments

My Grandma Catlin had a collection of Henning hand carved trolls that she would put out around the holidays.

We only spent a handful of winter holidays with my family in Kansas, but I loved the trolls.

My parents started a collection of Henning trolls for me last year.

I have them displayed on our mantel.

They are my new favorite holiday decoration to pull out of the bins in the attic.

I’m tempted to keep them out all year round like my aunt does with hers.

You can also visit our playroom and backyard on my {holiday home tour}.

home is…continuing with family tradition.
