Christmas Home Tour

I have been busy decking our halls for the past couple of weeks and am SO excited to be joining in on the Canadian Christmas Home Tours today!  Welcome to all of you visiting!

Beautiful Christmas home tour with lots of great decorating ideas! // cleanandscentsible.com
I must start by saying that I don’t think that I have ever had my home decorated this early before, but I am kind of liking the fact that it is now {almost!} all done and I just get to sit back and enjoy it for a whole month.  I can never get enough of those Christmas decorations! 🙂

I have a lot of photos for you, so I thought that I would just show you the grand tour today and then come back with all of the little details in the individual rooms later.  I think it will be a little less overwhelming for all us that way! 😉

I was hoping to start out the tour with our front porch but it has been pouring rain for at least the past week and I haven’t had a chance to finish things off yet. To give you a bit of a sneak peek, here is one of our hanging baskets that I finished up last week…

Beautiful Christmas home tour.  Love these hanging baskets for the front porch! // cleanandscentsible.com
So come on in to our rustic little front entry.  I’m still playing around in here with the layout and I’ve probably moved things around at least ten times!

Straight ahead off of our front entry way is our dining room – probably one of my favorite rooms in the house and the one that we actually spend the least amount of time in!

This hutch is always my favorite thing to decorate each season and I love the contrast of the black and the white.

Carrying on through the dining room, we come into our kitchen.  This is our first Christmas since we gave it a little kitchen makeover so it was a lot of fun to work with this year!  I’ll be posting all of the details on Monday so stay tuned! {UPDATE: Check out all of the details of our Christmas Kitchen HERE}

Looking from off of the kitchen, you see right into our family room.

This was the first year that I have ever had an artificial tree.  Usually we head down to a local tree farm and cut our own tree each year, but we have a really busy December planned and our weekends seem to be full already.

Beautiful Christmas home tour with lots of great decorating ideas! // cleanandscentsible.com
Of course, one of the benefits to having an artificial tree is that I can get it up early and enjoy it for a much longer time than a real one.  Nothing beats the beauty of a glowing Christmas tree!

Beautiful Christmas home tour with lots of great decorating ideas! // cleanandscentsible.com
I still actually have a few more ornaments that I am working on to add to the tree and the kids still have a few of their ornaments to add as well.  We always like to make at least a couple of keepsake ornaments each year to remember all of the Christmases past.

I will be continuing to update this page as I finish up the last bits of the decorating and will also be giving you more detailed views of the rooms over the next couple of weeks.  I hope you enjoyed your visit and please let me know if you have any questions!  Thank-you so much for coming!

Have a wonderful Christmas season!

    My question is, how to you put décor on the drywall without making permanent holes in it.
    I have tried 2 new products without success. I don’t have any success with temporary adhesive types. They seem to tear the drywall paper off my walls. Any help would be appreciated.

      I have always found that the command strips work well for me (the velcro ones). I have used it numerous times on our drywall with minimal problems {I did find that I had to wait a couple of weeks before putting it up onto new paint!} and it has also been working well on the tile in our kitchen (the Christmas plate that is above the stove). Hope that helps!

    I love the way you decorated your kitchen ! Can you tell me where you got your Dish towel – it’s the most wonderful time of the year – I think it’s very pretty !
    Also, I was unable to zoom in on your pictures, but what is on your countertop, right of the tree? It looks like a wooden box with straws…

    Congratulations on your website, I a frequent visitor.
    Happy Holidays to you and your family from Québec !

      Thanks so much! The dish towel was from Home Sense. On the counter, I have a wooden tray that I filled with some faux greenery and pinecones. In the middle is a candle holder that I put some paper straws in. I’ll have a more detailed kitchen post up on Monday so you will be able to see it better then. Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season too – I went to school at McGill and loved my time there. 🙂

      Thanks Krista! This is the first year in my whole life that I have had an artificial tree. I definitely miss going to pick out our own but we have so much going on in December that there really wasn’t going to be a time that we would all be able to go and get one unless we wanted to drag the kids out in the dark! 😉 It is nice having it up early though.

      It does take me a while to do, but I just do a little at a time and I really enjoy it. The vintage truck with from Home Sense (Home Goods in the states). It has a metal tree in the back that I ripped out and I put the other trees in. The car cookie jar is from World Market – it was such a great price – I think $12? I got the PEACE letters a number of years ago from one of my favorite local stores that actually closed down this summer. Happy Holidays!

    • Jenn Lifford says

      December 17, 2014 at 3:50 am

      I bought the garland at a local store called Grandiflora (in Lynden, WA) but I have seem similar ones at HomeSense (or Home Goods if you are in the States). As much as I have always loved our real trees, it is so nice not having to worry about watering it (and water damage to the floors!) and picking up pine needles every day. I have also really enjoyed having it up longer as we can usually only have our real one up for a couple of weeks.
