Christmas at Our House

Hello from the frozen tundra! No, we didn't travel north this weekend, but rather, Texas was hit with a big ol' ice storm. We've been stranded, under 4-inches of solid ice, since Thursday night. If you follow me on InstaGram or Facebook, then you saw video proof of our idiot antics. Our lives and schedules are always so busy, so it's been nice to slow down and be homebodies together. Especially since our home is decked out in our most colorful Christmas yet!

My friend Chris of Just A Girl is hosting a mac-daddy Christmas Home Tour all week, and I'm thrilled to kick it off today. Warning: this post is one giant photobomb. So grab a cocoa, spike it if you can must, and enjoy wandering through our house this season. Don't worry, I won't report you as a stalker.

Are you still with me?! You probably need to refill your drink...I'll wait. Okay, next up is the Entrance Hall (makeover found here), which is home to the cutest little pink tree.

The Dining Room (yep, it's pink, with a surprise ceiling color...see it here) has a few more mini-trees as centerpieces, and sideboard decor.

Tree bases are boxes wrapped in gold duck tape and washi.

We have an artificial tree, but use fresh greens throughout the house, too.

The ball is a DIY project I'll share tomorrow.

Moving on to the bedrooms, which got small touches of the holiday.

If you've made it through this full tour, you deserve a cookie. Good thing I've been home for 4 straight days and I've done nothing but bake...and eat! Why is it so impossible to be housebound and not eat everything in sight?!

Thank you so much for stopping by, and for all the new readers joining us today, feel free to nose around...starting with our House Tour and Project Gallery. A very merry holiday to you, lovebugs!

Grab your eggnog and go say 'Hey' to the rest of the tour peeps!
