A Farewell Christmas Tour highlighting the kitchen and living room, which was the heart of the home where we spent the last 8 years. It’s bittersweet to share this last home tour with you as we move into our new home this week!

Welcome!! If you’re coming over from Clean & Scentsible, I’m so thrilled to have you! Jenn has such a beautiful style that brings out the best in each season. I always love her home tours!

I hope you’ll hop around the home tours at the end of this post and get to know some of these super talented ladies!

Since this year’s theme was “hurry up and decorate, then pack it all up to move” my approach was classic simplicity. Whether you’re moving or not, you can adopt this look in your home by keeping your very favorite decor, but not going overboard.

Classic, simple Christmas living room

I started by leaving the mirror and two shutters on the mantel and decorating around them. I finally found some statement pieces that I loved over the mantel. And if I were to stay here, I would have just found new ways to decorate around them each season.

I loved having our “fancy” tree in the living room for the first time this year. I usually put the decorative, themed ornaments on the 9-foot tree in the dining room. But I donated my 9-foot tree since our new house only had 9-foot ceilings. And I bought this new 7.5-foot tree to go in the new house.

I can’t wait to get into the new house and be able to decorate it a little bit with our favorite family ornaments.

Christmas Kitchen Table

Moving on into the kitchen, I created a little centerpiece out of greenery, pomegranate branches and some gold ornaments I’ve had to years. I love using a dough bowl for a centerpiece, because it’s so easy to move it off the table whenever you need to eat!

Christmas Kitchen Table Decor

Little touches like adding wreaths to the back of the chairs is easy, but so fun and festive!

Add some pretty plates, like my favorite turquoise melamine plates, and some festive mugs and you’re ready to sit down to Christmas breakfast!

Christmas Corner

Adding some pretty cascading ornaments to my colander, “noel” sign and a mini sled from the Target dollar spot a couple years back gives this corner a holiday feel.

Christmas Wreath with Bells

And then my DIY open shelves! I’m sure going to miss decorating these each season. I’m not sure that there will be a great place for shelves like these in the new house, but I know there will be some fun, new places to decorate.

Christmas Open Shelves

And I’m OBSESSED with the green velvet, gold emboridered tree pillow. It’s so cute, cozy and subtly festive! I think it’s out of stock for shipping, but hopefully it’s still in your store. Check here online if it’s still in stock in your area!

Christmas Open Shelf Decor

I started by taking everything off of them from the fall and then cleaning them off. I collected my favorite Christmas decor items on the table, then added one at a time until I loved the look. I always mentally divide the space into 4 sections and try to create mini (balanced) vignettes in each space, utilizing the “rule of 3” or “rule of odd numbers.”

Christmas Kitchen Decor

The “Family-Owned Farm” printable is in my Christmas printable collection this year! It’s such a fun one to add to any decor!

Farm Fresh Christmas Trees Printable

The pomegranate and candy candy printable art is also in that collection, so grab some for your own decor!

Milk& Cookies for Santa sign

I love my collection of mini evergreen trees that I’ve collected over the years from different places. They are probably one of my favorite decor items in the holiday and winter seasons.

Mini Christmas Trees

I hope you’ve enjoyed checking out my final Christmas home tour in this home! By the time this posts, we’ll already be owners of our new home, but still waiting on the furniture to arrive. So, hopefully I’ll get it a little decorated for Christmas before the Big Day! 🎄

Moving on to the next stop on the Seasonal Simplicity Home Tour is my good friend Jenna at Rain on a Tin Roof. I love her eclectic, unique style! Those green chairs are swoon worthy!!

Enjoy!

    Beautiful home! I can’t wait to see what you do with the new one! I love the chairs you have in front of your fireplace and under your shelves! They would work so well in my small living room. Any chance you can tell me where you got them?!? Thanks!!!

    So many cute touches! I absolutely love the blue in the living room. I’m so impressed that you decorated BEFORE you moved. I definitely would not have had the energy for that AND packing. Good luck with your move and can’t wait to see your new home. Merry Christmas! xo

    I am so impressed with all you did- it looks beautiful! We moved last year and officially moved out on December 27, so I feel you!!!! It’s not easy and it’s a sentimental time of year anyhow. Best wishes that it all goes smoothly.
