    Country Cottage Christmas Home Tour

    Today I'm sharing the rest of our home decorated for Christmas. Join me for a country cottage Christmas home tour!

    Country cottage christmas home tourGosh friends! Did Christmas sneak up on you the way it did me? Seems like it was just Thanksgiving and in just a few days it will be Christmas! 

    For any one who is new here, my husband and I live in an old country cottage in South Carolina that's been in his family a long time. 

    THE FRONT PORCH

    On the front of the house is a large screened-in porch. It's one of the first things that I  decorated for Christmas. 

    Aqua and red christmas front porchIf you missed seeing the porch all decorated for Christmas, you can see it here: PLAID AND AQUA CHRISTMAS PORCH

    THE LIVING AREA

    When you enter our home, you will be in our living area and will immediately see our fireplace mantel and tree. 

    Country cottage christmas home tour

    I am gradually switching over the colors in this room to green and blue. On the mantel is the ornament garland that I made last year using those colors. 

    Christmas tree in living areaThe tree is decorated with white Santa ornaments that we've been collecting for years. The topper on the tree is even a white Santa that is over 25 years old. 

    Christmas decorations on treeFaux white hydrangea blooms and lambs' ear picks are tucked into the tree. 

    Bubble lights on a christmas treeClear bubble lights that I've had a few years were placed on this tree. The tree, though, is new and I ordered it from Amazon. You can find it here: NORWEGIAN SPRUCE TREE

    Light blue loveseat

    There are two new things in this room. One is the light blue loveseat which is actually not new, but reupholstered in a pretty, pale blue performance fabric. Hmmm. We shall see if it survives Christmas shenanigans! 

    The other new item is the rug. It is a mix of different shades of blue and came from Amazon. You can find it here: BLUE AREA RUG

    Lucy our dog

    Lucy likes the new rug because it's much softer than the seagrass rug that we had in here. White truck christmas pillow

    I found the white truck pillow on Etsy and the blue and green throw came from Amazon. You can find it here: BLUE TARTAN BLANKET

    Tree shaped candle on christmas mantel

    I went very simple on the mantel this year. I used faux pine garland along with some old candlesticks. The tree-shaped tapers were found at Vermont Country Store. 

    Round table with green buffalo checked skirtIf you look closely, you can spy a small green Santa on the round table in this corner.

    Green santaOn top of the little green magazine holder is another Santa. He is new this year and I ordered him online but I cannot for the life of me remember where I got him! 

    Christmas pillowOn the green sofa is another Christmas pillow from last year. 

    THE DINING ROOM

    Balsam lane holiday tablescapeThe blue and green color scheme carries over into the dining room. Here the table is ready for Christmas dinner. You can see more of it here: BALSAM LANE TABLESCAPE

    THE KITCHEN

     

    Gingerbread decorated shelves in christmas kitchenThe kitchen is decorated with a gingerbread theme. These shelves that we had built in this corner lend themselves to seasonal decorating! 

    Gingerbread christmas chalkboardThe large chalkboard has a lot of gingerbread favorites that make an appearance each year.

    Gingerbread tree in kitchenIn one corner of the kitchen is a gingerbread tree. 

    Gingerbread boy and santasOver the stove is a gingerbread boy along with some baking Santas. 

    Candy garland in a christmas kitchenA simple candy garland that I purchased at my friend's garage sale graces the kitchen windows. 

    THE HALF BATH

    Christmas bathroomIt's been fun decorating our new half bath for Christmas. 

    White ceramic tree in christmas bathroomAs soon as I saw this white ceramic tree, I knew it would go great in this room. 

    Copper christmas ornamentsAnd imagine my surprise when I found some copper Christmas ornaments at Hobby Lobby! The faucet in this half bath is copper. 

    SantaThis Santa artwork (found at Hamricks) goes great with the soft blues in this room.

    THE LAUNDRY/MUDROOM

    Snowman tree

    In our new laundry/mudroom area, there is a snowman tree. 

    Wooden snowmanThis wooden snowman is one of my favorite decorations this year. Isn't he cute?

    SnowmanAnd this one is as cute as can be, too! They just make me smile every time I see them.

    Snowman in basketAnd this little guy I've had for years and years. 

    THE BACK DECK

    Snowman wreathWhen visitors come to our back door, they are greeted by this snowman wreath. We don't get much snow in South Carolina so I guess that explains my obsession with snowmen! 

    That concludes our country cottage Christmas home tour. You guys! It is almost Christmas. Leo and I are so delighted that there will be a full house here on Christmas Eve. Four of the grandkids will be here along with all the cousins, aunts and uncles, friends, and boyfriends. It's a wonderful time of the year and our home is ready. 

    Wishing you all the joys that this season has to offer as we celebrate the birth of Jesus.

      Where to start? Everything is stunning! I love your taste and admire your decorating talent. Your blog and pictures are so very inspirational. I love all the color of your porch and living room, but then I saw the half bath and am swooning over that...a bit of a different feel, but so lovely as well. I am not sure we have seen a true home tour since the remodel. Keep up the good work!

      Your home is so warm and welcoming! I loved all your decorations, especially your little gingerbread tree! That gave me an idea to use my Mother's vintage aluminum cookie cutters on a kitchen tree next year. Merry Christmas!

      Lucy is just adorable on that new blue rug. I love it all. I always look longingly at the blue decor for Christmas and think if only I had the nerve to do it. I love blue and green and the new colors are just perfect. I was scrolling through and just wondering if the tree was real when you shared that it isn't and where to find it. I am really thinking about going back to faux. I have been doing a real one for the last few years but they get a little brittle before Christmas rolls around. They are all cut so early these days. Everything is just so pretty!
