our christmas house tour

hello! and welcome to our house at christmastime.

before we moved in, even before we actually found this house, even in may, i was so excited to decorate for christmas. we could put lights outside! we would have a mantle! we would have a staircase for garland! god i love garland. even after i wrapped it around my railing for an hour and got tiny cuts all over my hands so they itched/burned like crazy because i’m allergic to it. anyway. come in! (and i realize i’ve never updated you on any house projects, so things may look a bit different. one day i will, one day.)

{love costco wreaths. they give you the smell of christmas as you walk in.}

{real garland from costco as well, it’s the best}

{real garland from trader joe’s, can’t beat the price. but it is a bit thin so you probably need to double up like this.}

{i love seeing the handprint ornament i made with henry last year. his hand is like double the size now!}

{candy dish i picked up on clearance last year at target, love it. but it’s had to be moved twice because i’ve found henry eating candy in the wrapper still when it was behind the couch, and when it was on the kitchen table henry only wanted to eat kisses for meals.}
{merry christmas from us! printed from snapfish on their thickest card stock and i’m very happy with them}

{in the dining room..with wrinkled pics from henry’s first birthday party…but i’ve left them up instead of having a blank wall for now}

{i glittered a paper mache deer head from joann’s and then sprayed with a lacquer to seal it. (and that hook is awful but it’s what i had on hand)}

{cut from some glittered foam paper}

{love these. made in about two minutes before a party.}

i seriously can’t believe christmas is one week away. even if i’m all done christmas shopping and just about done wrapping. still in denial. but at least i’m ready while in denial.

it’s the most wonderful time of the year!
