The House on Ladd

Red and Green? Never been my thing. But Blue and Pink? That I can get behind.

How about a little post-Christmas home tour? Are my decorations still up? I’ll let you decide. While you mull that over, I’ll show you around!

I was inspired by a mantle I saw on Pinterest . The florals mixed with greenery feels so fresh, and I happened to have some faux florals gifted from a friend that fit the style. Next year I might try to add the oranges and pinecones.

I love this nativity scene from Hobby Lobby, purchased well before I settled in to a pink and blue theme.

Our main tree, ready for more gifts. Were they wrapped on Christmas Eve? Maybe.

In. Love. With our Dining Room Tree. I love the way the Twelve Days of Christmas set looks against the wallpaper! I purchased this set from the Madisonville Christmas Company, it’s a great place to stop year round. The tree was set in a blue and white planter for a unique look. And of course, my Custom China Plate Ornaments.

Christmas should sparkle. Last year, I stumbled across a rhinestone tree at Michaels, sparking a search for others. That search led me to vintage Czech rhinestone trees. Love at first glint. I decided right then and there that I would not be a collector of Santa figurines or snowmen. No, only (fake) diamonds for me please. Austin got me the turquoise one this Christmas, and I hope to add a new tree each year!

Our Dining Room also made the perfect spot for my advent calendar!

My kitchen gingerbread village, complete with chinoiserie print background. And another rhinestone tree, of course!

I love our home at Christmas, it’s always so sad when it has to come down. But for all things there is a season, and I’ll be working to bring the same feeling of warmth throughout the remainder of winter. In fact, there is snow in the forecast for us this weekend!

Stay warm out there, wherever you are.
