Friends, we’re so happy to welcome Heather from The Heathered Nest to her debut at our holiday open house! We’ve been big fans of hers for awhile but finally got to meet her this summer at the Haven conference.  The girl has some amazing DIY skills, and she’s hilariously funny, so be sure to visit her blog for more inspiration.  Here she is:

Come in! Come in! Baby it’s cold outside!

We’ve got the fire all ready for you! This is our first year blogging, so it is a real thrill to be a part of such a wonderful, talented group for this amazing holiday home tour hosted by 11 Magnolia Lane. If it’s your first time over here at the Heathered Nest, welcome, and happy holidays. We’re so very glad you have come to our home!

This is our family room. Typically, our holiday decor is very bright and bold and over-the-top. This year, I just couldn’t hack it. It was just too much unpacking, too much re-packing, too many chotchkies that would require more dusting…so I pared it down considerably this year (believe it or not).

 

Here’s our mudroom…go ahead and take your coat off and hang it in here. I’ll take you back in through the foyer.

That tree is a cheapo fake tree, but we “spruced” it up with some real pine branches. Makes a WORLD of difference in how it looks. And the fake branches will last the whole holiday season, believe it or not. It’s a cheap way to really make a fake tree look like a million bucks!

"Spruce" up your fake christmas tree with real pine branches!! IT'S FREE!! And SUPER EASY!! heatherednest.com

 

We decorate with pine clippings everywhere we can.

It’s inexpensive, smells great, and brings a lot of color and life into the house.

Here’s our powder room. For some reason, it seems bloggers take a lot of photos of soap in bathrooms, so who am I to question the trend, right?

I give you…our soap. And a guest towel. I know…impressive, right? Ground-breaking, world altering holiday decorating? Not so much. Let me show you the dining room.

Pinecones, branches, scarves, fruit…those are our go-to’s this year for holiday decor.

Into the living room.

AKA the kids playroom. In fact, in the two years we’ve been in this house, this room has never looked like this…EVER. Just out of camera eye shot, you would see bins of Legos, trains, the play kitchen, etc, etc…but for one moment in time, I will bask in the glory of one section of “clean”.

Care for a drink before we move along? I sure do.

Here is the guest bathroom.

Again with the soap. See what a professional blogger I’ve become? It’s truly inspired (eye rolling emoji here).

And the last stop on the tour…our guest room. This is where you’ll bunk down if you indulge in one too many cocktails from the bar. Fine by us, we love company!

    Absolutely beautiful ~ especially the soap! 🙂 I love the whole house but that guest room is calling my name. The ceiling is gorgeous. I’m enjoying the “less is more” and all the creative touches.
