When I begin to decorate my home for Christmas,
I look back on the year’s past Christmas tour to see how I can use my current Christmas
decor in a different way that I had in the past.
While referencing last year’s Christmas tour, I thought that I would present it again
to you and for those who are new to my blog, a chance to see what I did last year.
Decorations once used in the kitchen has landed in my great room this year.
I am dancing to the Christmas Shuffle.
Welcome to my 2015 Christmas Home Tour.
Welcome to my home!
THE FOYER AND GREAT ROOM
A pillow sets the tone as you enter the house.
The antique French buffet is the showpiece in the foyer.
You can see the tree as soon as you open the door.
Antique French gathering and bread baskets hold pretty presents.
The Great Room Mantel
You can see more details of the mantel here.
THE MASTER BEDROOM
This room was the first room I decorated.
Bedding is Winter Birds by Pottery Barn.
THE SUNROOM
I decorated the sunroom in a Country Christmas theme.
THE KITCHEN
I have not done much in the kitchen, but here is a couple sneak peeks.
In the past I have placed this feather tree in the guest room.
I love it so much that I moved it to where I can see it throughout the day.
By the kitchen sink!
A vintage scale holds ironstone and wrapped candy ornaments.
THE DINING ROOM
The color scheme is blue and white this year with green accents.
THE GUEST ROOM
The room is ready for Holiday guests!
THE MEDIA ROOM AND KITCHENETTE
I placed a tree in the kitchenette in the media room where the pie safe used to be . . .
it is now in the sunroom.
I call the tree “Lulu”
THE UPPER BACK PORCH
This year’s upper back porch theme is Snowmen. Very cute ones!
Hope you enjoyed my Christmas Past Home Tour
as much as I enjoyed decorating my home for the Season of Joy.
I have been busy decorating for this year’s Season of Joy.
I hope to bring you a completely decorated room very soon!
Have a most beautiful day!
I always enjoy a look back at your beautiful home and Christmas decorating Shirley! We’re travelling for Thanksgiving this year so I’ll be getting a late start on decking the halls 🙂
Beautiful and I’m looking forward to this years!
Yes, it is always fun to look back over the years! I am gathering up inspiration for this year since I don’t start my decorating until the day after Christmas. Love your decor!

Love all the vintage ornaments and the plaid! Have fun with this year’s decorating!!
I know no matter what you do and swap out it is always amazing!~ I am doing a lot of swapping out this year myself. I love how different it looks even though it’s the same decor from past years. Happy Holiday’s Shirley.
I love, LOVE seeing your home all decorated for Christmas! It is simple gorgeous! I love every room and am so anxious to see what you do this year! Thanks for the tour again, it is FULL of fabulous inspiration!!!!! Have a beautiful day, decking your halls!
PS, you are so lucky to be able to decorate your porches and not worry too much about weather ruining it all. I have seriously thought about decorating our patio: live greens, berries etc. HMMM, now I have some more inspiration:)
Last years Christmas was so beautiful! I am looking forward to seeing what you do this year.
Shirley, Your posts are my favorite..your home and decor are gorgeous!!!
I WANT TO WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
A BLESSED THANKSGIVING!!!

I love seeing all of your ideas. One I just might copy is the grouping of white pitchers with greenery. Love this. Happy Thanksgiving.
I always enjoy looking at your house no matter the season. This year I’ m trying to do more decorating with what’s there instead of removing everything and then sitting out decorations. My goal all this year was to simplify as I start my 7th decade of life. Still a work in progress. Ha! But I’m learning from all you lovely bloggers.
So man beautiful details. Stunning!
Loving it!! Thanks for sharing!! Looking forward to this years tour!!!
Gorgeous! Looking forward to this year’s decorating, too! 😉
Shirley, I enjoyed seeing your beautiful home tour again, it is so timeless and classic! Looking forward to this year’s tour!
Your home is always lovely! Your Christmas decorations are stunning! It’s so much fun to look back and see all your inspiring ideas! Thank you for the tour! I can’t wait to see your ideas this year!
Beautiful…this will be hard to top but fun to do. 🙂
