Welcome to our holiday open house!
I didn't think much of our decor had changed from last year but then I realized we had actually updated quite a few things around the house and it's fun to see what's new. Here's last year's tour
Holiday Tour of Our New Home if you're interested.
Let's start in the front of the house. I put together some wintry planters with dried hydrangeas, other dried flowers, greens from our trees and some red berries from Trader Joe's.
Our entry has changed because we have the "new"
Facebook Marketplace cabinet. I added the kitties' stockings (two of them are for our grand kitties).
Another update we did in 2025 was
painting our island this lovely shade called Sea Cliff Heights. We also reupholstered the bar stools.
Some snaps from the kitchen.
I couldn't find the gingerbread ornaments at Ikea this year so I made my own.
Here's a close up. They were not that hard to make and are totally edible!
A view of the main tree from the dining table.
This view gives a glimpse of our new backyard fence.
Heading upstairs is a newer tree that we purchased last year. We just leave it lit up and don't add ornaments. It really twinkles!
Willow says "Meowy Christmas!"
We got a snow day last Sunday that was so pretty but it's all gone now.
Our main bathroom has a little aqua tree that I love.
I also love the tree night light.
Our guest room looks a little different because we added a chair and moved the tree to another corner of the room.
Here's a peek out of the room into the hall and the next level. Those new Ikea shelves are coming in handy for hanging stockings and adding decor.
The primary bedroom got a new comforter set. We have a little tree but you can't see it in this pic.
Here's a shot of it from last year. It's another twinkly tree that we don't decorate. The bed looks so different without the holiday bedding.
A view from the steps into the living room at night.
We also painted the back of the front door to match the island.
So I guess the house looks a little different than it did last year, after all!
Thank you for coming along on our holiday open house and reading my blog. I so appreciate your blog friendships and wish you a peaceful, fun and magical holiday!
This is my last post of the year and I'm looking forward to seeing you in 2026.
