2022 Annual Christmas Home Tour

It’s 2022 Christmas Home tour day! We’ve had quite the year and I think this year, more than ever, I was desperate for the reward of embracing our house, covered in twinkle lights and happiness. My energy heading into the season wasn’t at peak performance level, but the more we did, the more motivated I was to see it through so we could enjoy the outcome.

As I do each year, I worked to mix color combos and dig into bins to revive decor that hasn’t been out in a while. I used a lot of stuff in different ways, some stuff in identical ways to last year, and also, as always, there’s still plenty left in the basement bins that will have to wait to see if next year is the year it comes out of hiding to be incorporated. Some spaces, I concept — at least generally in terms of color — a year in advance, and some spaces I concept on the fly, as I’m digging into bins.

We have multiple rooms that are in “transition” which limited some of our efforts — and I’ll share those as we go along — but there’s also some peeks of spaces that haven’t been shared just yet.

If you like elaborate Christmas decor, I have some of that. If you like simple Christmas decor, I have some of that, too. And if you prefer nostalgic, meaningful Christmas decor that’s family-centric, well, you’ll find that today, also 😉 Whether you’re a first time visitor or you’ve been a regular reader for a while, thank you for stopping in and for checking in on us today. Welcome and let’s head on in!

Outside

Full disclosure — we’re actually starting with a brief time travel back to last December, first, haha. I never have our outdoor decor finished by Home Tour Day, so if you didn’t come back to KN after last year’s tour, this could be the first time you’re seeing our these. We have out lights up and I’m hoping we’ll have the rest completed by Thanksgiving. I’ll definitely come back later when everything’s finished because I’m excited about a classic addition I’ve wanted to incorporate, literally, for 10 years that we’re finally doing this year.

Entry

Y’all, I love THESE faux magnolia branches so much (if you’re a regular, you know this, haha) that I created the exact same arrangement in the entry as last year. I use them throughout fall and carry them through winter, too. I’ve invested with several at a time over the past few years so you’ll probably spy them in spots all around the house.

I don’t think I ever buy anything for bowls. My go-to move is to use leftovers or random finds in my old bins (strands, pinecones, balls, beads, bells, etc.) and toss them together. I love mixing matte/rustic items with shiny (like wooden beads and ornaments), or, in this case, pinecones and brass bells.

Dining Room

I said it last year and I’ll say it again — this is the time of year when I most love our dark, moody dining room. Everything I used, I already had, and some deep red hues are making their way out of hibernation for the first time in a while.

This crystal piece was my late grandmother’s and while it usually sits empty (it doesn’t hold water), faux berry branches made the perfect simple centerpiece.

I think this is the first year I didn’t break out at least a few candlesticks, but I didn’t want to detract from the simplicity. And with only deep red ornament balls, the lightly flocked tree is uncomplicated and modest.

More and more, I’m appreciating the juxtaposition of organic meets glitz. And that especially shines through with the Christmas decor. It’s how I designed our dining room mini makeover — using most of the major pieces that were already in our room — and mixing them with more earthy elements, like THESE cement-style lamps.

Conversation Room

Directly across from the dining room, our conversation room awaits. I say this is the most “special” room at Christmas because it’s where the majority of the nostalgia and special family memories live. Situated next to our cabinet of family mementos (see the details and styling tips HERE) is our family tree, filled with ornaments collected over the years.

I wrote a post last year with five tips to decorate a family Christmas tree HERE. No ornaments are off limits and everything goes. Eliza decorated the family tree with me this year and I loved her reaction to unwrapping each ornament. We’ll be decorating my mom’s tree later this week and with decades and decades of memories, it’s probably my favorite tree to tackle.

My mom also gifts Eliza a new interactive animal that moves/sings each Christmas season, so they all live at the base of the tree. I call it “home base” so after Eliza’s finished playing with them, she knows to take them back to “home base” for the night.

This tree is where Eliza’s book advent basket lives, too. You can find the details on that tradition we started last year HERE. I boxed up all the books last Christmas, and re-wrapped them all this year. I only subbed out a few of the more basic ones with new additions.

I just purchased THIS huge, heavy strand of two-toned terracotta beads on clearance and shared the score on Instagram. They quickly were made unavailable to ship but at time of publishing, they are BACK and available to ship! They retailed for $129 (these things are big!) but are on clearance for $37.99 HERE! I will be using them year-round but I couldn’t wait to get them on display.

I added THESE mirror faceted trees to our collection at the end of last season (and even used them as Valentine trees for immediate use!) Mine are the medium and large versions and can be found HERE.

Kitchen / Breakfast Nook

Remember my kitchen update post I shared recently (HERE)? Well, we don’t have the walls painted just yet and the breakfast nook is in heavy transition (I just sold the sideboard today since the new one arrives tomorrow!), but we have made some more progress! I kept things really simple and minimal in both spaces since we could very well have painters/electricians in the house before the end of the year, working toward finishing these off.

I found this footed rattan bowl at Home Goods a while back and it’s huge. I haven’t been able to figure out how to use it, so I was happy that this season gave me a reason to pull it out for the first time!

Heading into the place I put most of my efforts each year, if you’re an email subscriber, you already got a first look at our tree a few weeks ago 😉 And if you aren’t, you can subscribe to emails HERE for exclusives. I think I say it each year, but this year’s tree may be my favorite ever. At least top three… here she is.

I’m just now realizing this may be the first time I’ve shared the living room with our new leather chairs (mine are in vintage midnight). I first sat in them, in store, almost two years ago and fell in love with how comfortable they were. Fast forward to this spring and I finally ordered a pair. they come in several leather colors and options, and a few wood finishes. When the tree isn’t up, they won’t be next to the window — they’ll actually be pulled in closer to the sofa for more of an intimate conversation setting.

I couldn’t find any large or pale mint ornament balls that I had in mind, so I ended up spray painting some teal balls I used a few years ago!

You can find my most visited blog post — a tutorial on how I add ribbon to the Christmas tree — HERE. This was the first year I left some of the ribbon tails out, in an effort to conserve a little of the ribbon, and I love the result! To cut a ‘v’ in the tail, I just fold the end of the ribbon in half and cut at a diagonal across — the same I would for a bow on a gift.

My favorite tree addition this year were THESE natural berry picks I found on Amazon, though. I ordered the pinkish green and was so pleased with how they look and feel in person. You’ll see them incorporated into the garland on the mantel, too. I know these will be a staple in the coming years, regardless of the themes and schemes I come up with.

Going with greens and naturals made it so easy to hit up my pillow stash and pull out some favorites I had on hand. THIS 22″ charcoal windowpane pillow has been a sofa staple for a few seasons now and transitioned from fall to holiday easily. It will stay in place through winter, too. You can find it at my fave pillow shop HERE. I’m really crushing on a lot of their pillows right now, especially THIS one

THESE plaid throws are on sale right now and come in a TON of plaids and colors — my mom and I ordered three between the two of us.

I had ordered a few new pieces — namely wooden nutcrackers and bells well over a month ago, but with severe shipping delays, they still haven’t shipped. I’ll wait and hopefully use them next year.

I have two new Christmas decor additions this year though, that I adore. The first are these handcrafted wooden trees. They are exquisite in person and the craftsman is so talented. I can’t get over the tiny cuts.

The other is THIS handcrafted terracotta nativity. I have several nativity sets (I think I have five on display this year?!) and adore the large one I got last year, but it’s so big, with so many pieces, I didn’t have a spot for it this year. THIS one is perfectly sized for a shelf or table without commanding too much space requirement. I plan to use this one year after year.

I think the garland is the most fun to embellish because it’s big enough to get creative, but small enough where you don’t run out of steam. Here’s this year’s version…

I added in faux berries and cedar (or juniper, maybe?), live magnolia and eucalyptus, and bells to the sides. I found these bells at Hobby Lobby last year so I’m not sure if they brought them back, but I LOVE all the bells at McGee & Co. HERE, especially THESE. (on sale now!). Here’s the caveat though — I ordered some Christmas decor from them a while ago and they are experiencing big lags; I can’t say confidently that they would arrive in time this year.

Eliza hid one of our stocking hooks so I had to order a new set — I was thankful Amazon still had them in stock (HERE) — they really have been the best, pretty, simple hooks!

The base of my garland is still my trusty Costco garland and I love to embellish the heck out of it. It’s a great go-to, classic pine garland for a great base, or even on its own. I wrote a post a couple years ago about my garland method HERE.

I also use the Costco garland on our banisters and railing. I embellished it similarly but not quite as much. I also didn’t embellish the entire strands. I focused around the post, took some of the fillers upwards just a bit, and then let the rest of the garland stand on its own. A great time and money saver 😉

This year’s cards are set to arrive on Friday so I’ll be glad to get it displayed with the others. I also pulled out a sparse faux pine I’ve had for at least 15 years, for the first time in a few years. I housed it inside a fluted PB planter I have since it’s in the off-season and isn’t currently on duty outside.

Because the tree and garland are so… extra (haha), it feels good to give the rest of the space a little bit of breathing room with some simplicity, clean linens, and just moments of strategically placed elements of glitz for cohesiveness and to tie the room together.

Bedroom

Welp, this may be the first year I don’t have a tree in the bedroom. I didn’t have the energy but I’m already missing it so I don’t know if I’ll really make it through the season without on. I may end up bringing one up and leaving it bare… we’ll see, haha. I may even rob Eliza’s playroom of a slim tree for the corner…

Eliza’s Bedroom

But even though our bedroom isn’t as spirited as it has been in the past (sad), I couldn’t wait to get in Eliza’s room. First — a quick story. As you probably know, we started transitioning Eliza to a big girl bedroom last year. I ordered her bed LAST YEAR. So, after Christmas last year, I went ahead and grabbed everything I needed to give her a purple tree to go with her new purple bedroom. Um… that poor girl still doesn’t have a bed. The original bed was finished and shipped in February. When it stopped progressing in the tracker, I continually called. Finally, in April, they admitted it was lost and they had to order a new one to be made. That order was on backorder for a while and then finally, I thought she was going to get her bed. This one made it to our house in September. Well, actually, it made it to the street in front of our house. When the delivery people started taking it out of the truck, they realized it had been essentially demolished in transit and there wasn’t a single salvageable piece to leave. Bed attempt #3 — I’ve been told it’s on its way to the delivery center and I should be getting a call to schedule delivery any day now… this has been going on a few weeks though so I won’t hold my breath, haha. So, she still doesn’t have her purple bedroom and is perfectly content with her mattress on the floor… but she still got a purple tree 😉 And it’s my favorite she’s ever had in her room…

It’s just a shame she doesn’t have a bedroom to give the full, coordinating effect. But that’s me — not her. She is thrilled with this little corner magic. I surprised her with it when she got home from school one day and it was all worth it. (Until she was distracted by a tennis ball and switched focus 1.5 minutes after seeing her tree and room additions, haha).

Little Girls Purple Christmas Decor for their Bedroom

I continue to shop the spring florals (they are always on such deep discount at craft stores by fall!) and these pretty little buds just made her tree.

Playroom

Eliza couldn’t get enough of the holiday decorating this year, which made me really excited for the years to come. She used some of the most colorful decor that we already had and decorated her playroom. Here are a few snippets — I love her creative little imagination and she was so proud.

    You are THE QUEEN of Christmas trees!
    Your house looks so amazing, you certainly covered the spectrum this year!
    So beautiful. I particularly love your main tree in the big room ,but, Eliza’s tree is just perfection! The colours, the florals and the ribbon! Have a wonderful Christmas together and I am looking forward to your upcoming posts. God bless.

      Heather, Thank you so much for your very kind note and sweet blessing! Eliza’s tree is always so fun to do and I think the main tree is one of my all time favorites. I hope you and yours have a magical Christmas season!

    Everything is so beautiful! Do you have the link and/or dimensions for the tray the nativity set is sitting on in Eliza’s room?

      Hi Janet, Thank you for taking the time to visit! Eliza’s nativity set is sitting on a marble coaster that I’ve had for years. The dimensions are approximately 4″ x 6″.

    Just simply stunning (as always). I love your restraint by adding until it’s just enough. So elegant. So warm. So beautiful. (If you wake up some morning and your family room tree is missing, don’t blame me . . . )

      Sharon, I appreciate your sweet comments so much! You are so right that it would be much easier to put out all of the things… But I’ve learned through the years that if I don’t bring out a favorite Christmas item this year, it will make an appearance the next year or the next. Thank you for following along with us!

    Everything is so beautiful! I especially love the red with your dark dining room and completely agree that the flowers in Eliza’s tree are the shining star <3.

      Hi April, I so appreciate you taking the time to stop by and for your kind note. Thank you for noticing my simple tree in the dining room. It was the perfect place to incorporate the dark red. And Eliza’s purple tree is one of my favorites. Happy holidays to you and yours!

    I absolutely love the green tree! My kitchen has pale green granite and is open to dining and living rooms.. I have been looking for some pale green ornaments. Thanks for the idea of just spray painting some old ones. Could you please tell me the brand and color of the paint you used?

    • 11.19.22

      Thank you, Sherry! The color is Breezeway by Behr in a satin finish. I hope this helps!
