Hello friends! I am extending a “Very Merry” Christmas welcome to you today inside our 1926 home, where I am still in the process of creating a classic Christmas cottage, with my vintage-traditional flair! When it comes to Christmas, we can certainly say “the more the merrier,” and at the end of this post you will find links to 8 other beautiful Christmas home tours to enjoy!
Merry Christmas everyone! We are celebrating our second Christmas here in on our 1926 red brick home, but it is still feeling very new to us as we continue to renovate and finish up details in every room. Today I am sharing a preview of how I am creating my signature vintage-traditional and classic, cozy cottage Chrismtas style in our dining room and kitchen. For extra fun, I am adding some before and after pictures so you can see how far things have come in the two years since we began renovations and the year we have lived here.
October is flying by and cooler temperatures have finally arrived, prompting me to begin the transition from early fall into later fall and Thanksgiving decor and to start planning for this year’s Thanksgiving tablescape. This post contains affiliate links.
Welcome friends, and welcome fall! Today I am excited to be joining my friend Marty of A Stroll Through Life and 30 talented bloggers for the annual Fall Home Tours! If you are coming over from Savvy Snowbirds or if you just happened to stop by, I am very pleased to have you here! *This post contains affiliate links.
In August we moved into our historic 1920’s red brick home that we purchased and began renovating over a year ago. The renovations took much longer than expected (don’t they always?) so we didn’t end up getting all the rooms completely finished and decorated in time for this tour, but we are really loving how everything is looking for Christmas so far!
Welcome, welcome WELCOME! After months and months of empty promises (we really tried, I promise!) I am finally ready to open our front door and let you take a peek into our new 1920’s American Foursquare home with Craftsman Bungalow elements! Oh boy are we loving it! Although it is bittersweet to leave the yellow brick home, we have no regrets! I had really hoped to have things “finished” in time for fall and had planned for this to be the great reveal post, but there is STILL so much to do. We only moved in about three weeks ago and as you can imagine there are still unpacked boxes and totes everywhere! Nevertheless I decided to go ahead and give you a little “PREveal” of some of the foyer and living room with snippets from upcoming posts where I will show the spaces and decor in more detail.
Happy Thanksgiving! In observance of Thanksgiving there will be no Thursday Favorite Things Link party this week (we will resume on schedule next week.) Today is a special day to focus on faith, family, friends (and good food of course!)
To honor this special day, here are a few vintage Thanksgiving postcards and Bible verses to remind us to be grateful and to praise the Lord for goodness and everlasting mercies. No matter what is going on in the world around us, Jesus reigns! That is something to be grateful for indeed!
