Christmas Home Tour
Christmas Home Tour
It is time for another peek into my home to see how I have decorated for Christmas! I am so excited to be joining a group of wonderful bloggers who are opening their homes for this Christmas home Tour.
I went a little simpler with garland and lights on my porch this year. I will be spending Christmas in New York and New Jersey with my children and grandchildren, so I scaled back a bit. 
We also just had our banisters and railings painted so I wanted to be careful to not scratch up the new paint. Instead of draping the garland in swags I just wrapped one each of four garlands on the posts at the top and bottom of the stairs. I secured them with a red velvet ribbon backed in gold and added some clusters of shatter proof ornaments in red and gold. 
One side of my staircase is lined with lanterns with battery operated candles and trimmed with the same red and gold velvet bows. Alternate steps hold faux red poinsettias. 
Up on the porch things get cozy and comfy with red quilts and Merry Christmas pillows. A tiered tray is filled not with snacks, but more red and gold ornaments.
A holly trimmed wreath hangs upon a galvanized boat that sits on the front porch, greeting guests with a touch of the coastal style I like. 
I made this fun snowman to greet guests. Do you “Want to Build a Snowman” too? 
All of the rest of the plants that normally flank the front door are trimmed with artificial red poinsettias and red velvet bows. Come on up on the porch and visit! Now, let’s head inside!
Come on into the tavern room! A Target truck trimmed for Christmas sits next to containers of candy canes and Christmas mints. 
Another truck with a little bottle brush tree in the back of it acts as the centerpiece for a casual holiday tablescape. 
Snowball garlands were strong above my headboard and a pair of white furry stockings add a little Christmas in the master bedroom. The picture on the bedside stand is my granddaughters sitting on Santa’s lap this year!
I also added a little bit of greenery and ribbons to my oyster shell wreath that hangs in our bedroom year round.
My living and family rooms are decorated for Christmas with a coastal style. You can see more of it at My Holiday Home.
Enjoy visiting all of the homes through the links below for unending Christmas inspiration!

Chloe, your porch and other spots just knock my socks off! Your porch is the stuff of dreams. I love how you’ve dressed it up for Christmas. The peeks of your neighborhood make me smile too! Love!
The bedroom is my favorite and the red trucks and the lobster trap. OK! I love it all. Thanks for sharing.
Your home is lovely. The street that you home is on reminds me of St Augustine, my favorite charming city! I love the victorian design of your home. That front porch is to swoon over! The furry stocking in your bedroom are gorgeous and perfect for a snowy feel. Truly enjoyed going through your home I felt like I was there.
Happy Holidays

Your porch is always dressed perfectly, no matter the season! Love the tiered tray filled with ornaments. It was nice to see part of your street, very pretty.
I love how you said you “scaled” back and yet everything still looks so festive – even the mailbox! Love it all. Hope you have a great Christmas!

Chloe – This is so lovely! And Cozy!! I adore all the color you used in your home and that snowman on your front porch?! Cutest thing ever – pinning! Happiest of holidays my friend!
I so wish I had a beautiful porch to decorate like you! Love what you’ve done 🙂 Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas Chloe and thanks for joining our tour! Your home is just lovely!
What a fantastic porch…I would imagine you spend a great deal of time out there so it’s just an extension of your home…and it looks so inviting all decked out in red.
And those candy bins!!! They are fantastic.
Your bedroom is so calm and inviting. I have an oyster shell mirror that I am now inspired to do something seasonal with.
Thanks for opening your home.
Hugs, Lynn
Your house looks so festive on the outside and in. I love that you have a photo of your daughter on Santa’s lap sitting. The furry stocking look so pretty on a bed post, what a great idea! Thanks for the lovely tour and have a Merry Christmas!
Love the porch and railings Chloe! Nothing like garland on the outside at Christmastime. The tavern room is decorated very cute too. Your neighborhood view is lovely.
Everything is soooo beautiful and you are too because they come from inside you!
Thank you so much for sharing your home and all the beautiful things you have made, it’s totally
awesome!! God bless you and yours! Have a wonderful Christmas!

You have combined the merry red and greens with your coastal creations to create such a unique holiday home with surprises everywhere Chloe! Love the oyster shells and greens and the gorgeous white stocking in the bedroom!
Hi Chloe,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home as part of this blog hop! I absolutely adore your front porch. It looks so welcoming and perfect for the holidays. And that mail box swag, I truly need to create something like that for my mail box. Love it!
Your porch looks so festive and pretty. I love your stairs leading up to your porch with your pretty garland and bows. Your porch is so inviting and makes me want to sit down and have a nice visit. That is a darling snowman in your urn.
There are so many Christmas tours my head is spinning but they are fun. Love the peak into your bedroom.
Oh my gosh! YES I wanna build a snow man! Loved your tour, thank you for being a part of the blog hop. 🙂
Thank you so much for hosting, Joy, I have really enjoyed all of the homes I have visited so far, but I have a lot more to visit!
Chloe, What a gorgeous porch and a beautiful street you live on. All your arrangements are so stunning. I also love the coastal look and that great oyster shell wreath!
Chloe, if you’ve toned it down this year, I can’t imagine how beautiful your Christmas decorations must be when you are staying home for the holidays. I love your front porch (wish I had one!) and the railings with the garland and big ornaments. It’s all so welcoming. Would love to sit on the porch with you and have a cup of hot chocolate.
Oh, Carol, you are so sweet! I look forward to the holiday I can have everyone come “home” for Christmas! I do love my porch and would love to have you join me for some hot chocolate, too!
Chloe,
