An Ecclectic and Funky Christmas Home Tour

I know many of you have been waiting on this post....

Waiting to see what our Christmas decorations are like this year.

And thanks to a very cold morning for us, I was able to be all cozy in a faux-fur blanket with my warm cup of coffee in my flannel snowman pajamas..... and write this post for y'all. 

So, yippeeee for cold and cozy days!

But, before we start this year's tour... if you want to check out last year's it's located here.

Now, onto how I decked our halls for Christmas.

This year I wanted to scale back the color drama and go for more shine, glitz and glamour. So, I opted to decorate with a lot of golds and silvers and use RED as an accent color. This is how it played out in our Double-Wide in the Sky.

THE FOYER
This is where it all starts.


I added the silver ornament wreath to the mirror and moved around some of my other decorative accents {like the foo dogs} to make way for my collection of Christmas Trees.  I really love the red sequence trees!


They are just so festive!

And I added my red paper weight to the collection on the foyer table. It too provides a festive punch!


I have the silver ornament wreaths on both sides of the entry door.
These simple elements make a grand impact when you enter our home.

MY OFFICE
Immediately to the left, as you enter, is my office. I haven't shared with you the updates to the office... but that AWESOME wallpaper is temporary/removable wallpaper. AWESOMENESS!


I am really making this space... MY OWN! 

I homeschool out of it, it is command central, I blog from here, and I work from here and volunteer from here..... it needs to be comfy, cozy, provide inspiration and be GLAMOROUS!


It's a beautiful place to be. So, I had to include Christmas decor in my little sanctuary {never thought I would think of a work space as a sanctuary... but, it has a door -- people --- I can shut my door whenever I want to! Awwww...... see.... sanctuary!}


THE MASTER BEDROOM
I hung silver ornament wreaths on the mirrors flanking our bed.


Simple, but yet, GLAMOROUS.


The accent pillow on the bed added the RED punch this space needed!


And of course, I had to add some nativity and "Noel" pieces throughout the room.

THE DINING ROOM AND KITCHEN
Speaking of "Noel" pieces.... I have several of them.
Here is a pillow on an Asian bamboo accent chair.


Gotta love ginger jars..... and they add the red punch... SO WELL!


We don't have a mantle in this home. So, we hang our stockings on this credenza which is purposed as a book case. I have a collection of Christmas trees on the top.


So glam and sparkly.


Plus, my little silver nativity piece. I love how contemporary it is.


Can't forget to wreath it up in the kitchen --- even on the refrigerator!


THE LIVING ROOM
Here is our tree this year {our tree from last year}... we went with a silver tinsel tree!

I am SO excited about this.... it is just WONDERFUL for our space.
I still have the festive - funky - faithful elements incorporated....


You can see here more on our Funky Christmas Tree Topper.


We added the teal mostly to this living space because of the teal on one of our main walls.
We wanted to keep the decor fluid to that which it is throughout most of the year.
The red was a fun and consistent new color punch throughout the home.


The tree looks SO lovely.
Especially at night.


It just sparkles 24-7!
I can't believe we waited so long to do the silver tree.... but, it is a BIG step when coming from a green artificial tree. It was somewhat of an adjustment when decorating it. But, it turned out well.... and I will be prepared next year for the decorating-know-how of said silver tinsel Christmas tree!


See how the red just makes a punch?
I actually spray painted this ginger jar red. That's what you do when you can't find something in the color you want.


Ginger Jar in Different Color + Gloss Red Apple Spray Paint = Perfection!

I added red crystal ornaments to the sconces that flank the TV. They look like they belong with the sconces. I love it!


I also have not updated the Living Room photos to show the new addition to our brown furniture pieces in the Living Room..... the second couch. It really adds a sense of space. It also provides such a cozy section for conversations with our guests. I am SO glad we added that piece. The space feels finished now.


Aren't these vintage brass deer just FANTASTIC?!
They are so elegant looking. I love how they are in such an exquisite pose.


I arranged some more of my Christmas Tree Collection on our Eileen Gray Side Table.
It's as if the pieces are art propped up on a pedestal.

LOVIN' it!



This is the view of most of our living space. It serves as kitchen, dining room, seating area, and living room. You can see more of the teal pops of color....
Red is such a FANTASTIC complement with the teal!

I truly hope you enjoyed our Double-Wide in the Sky Christmas Tour.

We have several get-togethers and parties planned for this space left yet this holiday season..... we will shower our guests with LOVE and FUN as we share the joy of Christmas with them! I hope you get showered with LOVE and FUN as well this Christmas!

Have an ECLECTIC and FUNKY CHRISTMAS!
