Welcome to our first Christmas at the farm! We're still figuring out where everything will settle, but for now, here's a peek into our new home.
I asked the guy at the Christmas tree lot if he had any extra greenery. He said, "take as much as you want!" I scooped up enough to fill this giant bucket on my front porch and made a 12' garland with the leftovers. One man's trash is another girl's treasure!
My first craft of the season was this wreath. Something a little fun and festive to welcome you in!

One of my favorite Christmas displays of the house:
I'm drawn to all that is wintery, natural, and white, but part of me still loves the traditional red and green.
Our tree sits in the middle of the room this year (a first for me). The space between the kitchen and the keeping room was the kids' choice and I think I like it! I chose bright, happy colors this year. Turquoise, lime green, orange, and hot pink. It makes us all a little more joyful!
All of the paper came from Target and Hobby Lobby.
The fun flows into the kitchen too!
This is the garland a mentioned above. I garnished it with some fun ornaments a dear friend gifted to me.
I keep a little tree next to my kitchen sink. It's "Mom's Tree." All of the things I love are on this tree. Most of the ornaments are breakable, so they stay a little safer on the countertop.
We'll finish the tour out the back door...

Our beloved well house. She looks so sweet at night with twinkle lights.

Your home is beautifully decorated. I especially like the wreath on the family door and the snowy entrance vignette. Love the aqua mason jar with ornaments too. I'm stopping by from the Nesters Home Tour. Merry Christmas!
Love those color choices! Merry Christmas!
Oh so lovely Christmas home! I love the old door as well, your whole house so pretty. Glad to be following you my friend. Diane
Just beautiful!
any story behind the white sewing table? I just inherited a nearly identical one from my grandmother (which needs some TLC/refinishing). I love your display of it here; where do you keep it regularly? I was thinking of putting mine on the landing at the top of my stairs...
