Our Holiday Home Tour – Entry, Office and Mudroom

This week I have a huge dose of Christmas cheer for you! Call me Santa Clause, because I’m bringing joy to our household one garland at a time. Presents coming later. Decorating for Christmas has been a process, but I am happy to report I have successfully completed one floor!

In fact, E and my child-at-heart-husband inspired me to go a bit overboard and a lot outside my comfort zone,  I’ll be sharing our holiday home in a series of posts, starting today with our entry, office and mudroom.

Freestyle Friday (The 5 Best Christmas Pins)

Welcome to Freestyle Friday – Christmas Edition! This trend is likely to continue until Santa Claus makes his way through our fireplace… err… or our front door, since all of our fireplaces are gas.
