Welcome to my Christmas tour! I am so excited you stopped by! Today is part 1 hosted by Seasons of Home blog series and my real life friend from Ella Claire and Co. In two weeks I will share part 2 with this year’s Holiday Housewalk. Come on in!
When you walk into our house you are greeted by this little nook under the stairs. I struggled for years trying to outfit this space, then I built a floating bench and sigh…it just felt right, like it belonged there. We are steps from the bay so coastal hues always have a way of infusing themselves into my décor, even during the holidays.
Blending faux greenery with real is a must since we start so early. This gift ornament is the prefect example, if you look closely you will see real eucalyptus mixed with faux cypress. The large bells are from Target as well as the faux greenery, see below for the shop the post.
As the sun begins the fade the magic happens…
This is our new powder room. Who says you can’t make simple changes that yield big results. The sage green botanical wallpaper softly whispers Christmas, doesn’t it?
More Target finds, see below to shop the post. You wont be able to from your mobile, if you see something you like just hop on from a larger device.
My den…a place where everyone spends tons of time. Crazy thing, it used to be my dining room. It was only used a few times a year so we made a functional decision.
It is also my workspace /studio.
Thinking about a slipcover too but wondering how practical it is, check out my video.
The pom-pom wreath I made years ago but every year it still makes an appearance, some items are just classics.
The vintage snow shoes were a great find at a friend’s shop on Long Island.
More magic as the sun fades, my favorite time of the day!
The plaid throw is from Etsy. A good tip, if you stick with the same color palette whether at Christmas or year round you will always be able to move your accessories from room to room.
You can find the tutorial to my abstract ball ornamentson my Instagram.
My family room has seen a lot of change over the last six months. I added the grid board and batten then I painted my fireplace green, yikes!
Oh, I also changed my curtains. Bye, bye blue, hello crisp white!
One of my favorite projects this season are these leather wrapped candles. I took mismatched white pillar candles and turned them into these beauties. You can watch the how to HERE.
Today I am finally revealing Shane’s Tween Room! If you remember I shared his mood board a few months ago, so sorry to keep you all in suspense for this long. Shane just turned 11, so I wanted to give him a space that felt comfortable & cool as he heads into his teen years. He really wanted a loft bed, a couch and fun seating options (for when his friends come over) along with some rustic touches. There is still a love for Star Wars and anything sports related so we layered that in as well. I partnered with ATG to turn this once uninspiring boys room into a tween’s dream space and we both couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out!
Hi there friends! As some of you may know I have been participating in a rug challenge over on Annie Selke’s Instagram feed (aka Dash & Albert). They are taking the top 10 and producing them under a “Blogger Collection.” I would love this opportunity more than you know, it would be a dream come true to say the least. This rug challenge has really got me thinking about desire, dreams, humility, gratitude & grace and taking my own advice.
Happy Tuesday night everyone! You continue to inspire me with your off the charts creativity, thank you for stopping by & sharing your projects tonight! A Vintage Buffet Becomes Pretty, Thrifty & Functional Family Storage…
I know you have been eagerly awaiting the details on my Pea Gravel Patio, this was not only easy but gave us the biggest bang for our buck. Thank you for all of your sweet comments about my Backyard Reveal, I have had SO many questions about this DIY project and hopefully I will answer them all in this post.
Good Morning! Could it be there is only 2 more weeks of summer(in the NE) before school begins?! I have mixed feelings about this. Maybe you do as well. I welcome the idea of September…
Hello City Farmhouse Friends! I’m Emily from the blog, The Wicker House. I am so glad to be here today as a contributor for City Farmhouse. I first met Jen years ago when she kindly asked…

This painting is well worth considering. I bought it yesterday and I was very surprised when I received it. They ship very fast and the painting really fits my space very well. https://daisycorners.com/product/geometric-black-and-white-stripes-canvas-art-poster-prints-modern-minimalist-lines-art-painting-wall-picture-home-room-decor/
