CHRISTMAS HOME TOUR...INSIDE & OUT

I love sharing holiday Decorations! And to think I thought that getting my decorations all done early will give me more time to relax and enjoy the season, Ha! I haven’t sat down since. And because life is so busy, I’m going to let the pictures do the talking. And I don't want you to have to scroll through hundreds of pics because ain't nobody got time for that right now, lol, so not everything is here, but it's a decent chunk.

The outside didn’t change that much I just added the urns I made, some more lanterns and another tree and buffalo plaid balls.

I made these Urn arrangements and  I LOVE them.

And you know I’ve got some link details for ya. 

Some things are on sale too!
I found some great red metal trucks for you on sale HERE, HERE and HERE! Here are the buffalo plaid Pillow Covers and Inserts which I adore and owns several sets of. Many of you have asked me about the rocking chairs so I have linked them up HERE & HERE. Here is the RUG, which I used both mine on the porch this year. Buffalo Plaid one Trees HERE

Read last year's Christmas Porch post HERE

The inside is similar to last year but of course I’ve added more trees including this girly one in my glam area that is a favorite. And of course, you’ve seen the hall tree area which is another buffalo plaid beauty!

I kept the laundry room simple with Black and white Buffalo Checked and greens.

The Christmas Bedroom (read about it last year HERE) is always cozy and inviting.

Fireplace is a cozy fav!

Kitchen peek at night, going to make wreaths for back of chairs next year.

Of course, the BIG tree is the star of the show and most of you probably know the Balsam Hill ordeal, lol!

The topper this year.

My favorite new tree…the glam tree…next year I am doing a silver and blue shimmery tree for our master bedroom. Adding a new tree each year until I say “no more,” lol

More glam area decor

See my 3, yes 3 Christmas Tiered Trays HERE

I literally cannot believe this is the last full week before Christmas. Why oh why? Hoping to grab a day to soak it all in this week; hoping and praying! 

I thought it appropriate to share a festive outfit with you at on the porch to end the tour. This triple tree cutie from Mountain State monograms is so soft and I love that they are buffalo plaid and leopard! here are the sneakers I showed you on Friday and I thought they complemented the outfit perfectly but I dressed up a little bit with the fabulous Spanx leggings!

FRIDAY FAVORITES...BUFFALO CHECKED EDITION

What a fun week this has been! Everything from Christmas shopping to a lunch at the most charming café and I’m happy to say, my decorating is pretty much done! Next up, the boys will slowly arrive home starting today, we will fill our grateful bellies with Thanksgiving, have lots of laughs and you can bet more shopping and lots of baking will be involved!

1. Buffalo Checked Tree and Decor

Y’all know I am completely mad for buffalo plaid. Now, I only like a little of it, I don’t decorate everything in my house in buffalo plaid as I like a variety but I sure do love how the hall tree area turned out and I did my entire laundry room in the black and white buffalo check as well!

Inspo

2. Lunch with the BEST!!

It’s always a wonderful day when I get to see my high school best friend! We may not get to see each other that often but we always pick up right where we left off. We each have a boy at the same college, all our kids went to the same high school and we don’t live too far from each other. We still have just as much in common today as we did back then and it was really cool because my mom showed up where we were with a friend of hers to shop so Rolonda and her got to visit a bit, which was a treat for them both as well! My High school days were so enriched with her a as my partner in crime.

 

Mom looks extra tall her but she is only 5'3, her sweet friend Joani is just 4'10!
Cuties! 

Lots of Buffalo Plaid to be found at Birds Gotta Fly...they have the sweetest little lunch Cafe there too called Steelyard Coffee

4. Monogrammed Sherpa Pullover

I am super excited to share this cozy monogrammed Buffalo Checked Wubby Pullover with you! It is one of my favorite pieces and I didn’t hear about it until late in the season last year, so I didn’t have an opportunity to wear it as much. But I’m happy to say, the Etsy store that sells them guarantees you’ll get them in plenty of time as turnaround is fast and won’t they make great gifts for people you love and absolutely a super gift for you! So cute.

Tree Technology
You may have seen on my Instagram stories last Sunday that Mr. Nine and one of our sons who came home for a short time, were able to “smart out” all my Christmas lights. As in set up technology with the smart outlets and Wemos so that all the lights not only automatically come on and go off at a certain time, but I can simply tell Alexa to “turn on Christmas lights” and she literally turns them all on! So cool! Get both of these things for your outlets and the apps and you’ll be all set!

Ford v Ferrari 
I can tell you; this is the best movie Mr. Nine and I have seen in the movie theater since A star is born! It’s fast-paced and a beautiful story based on real life events!

Texas Takeaway

I wanted to share a couple more pictures of my babes and our Texas trip for several reasons. Number 1, I can’t stop thinking about the fun we had. Number 2, I’m counting the days until I can see these beauties in person again and Number 3, with all these holiday posts, I’m not sure when I’m going to get to recap the rest of our trip so let me just say this. My life is so much more enriched and blessed because of these ladies. They are the best thing to come out of blogging. Our dear Kellyann said it so eloquently last Friday about the feeling of tribe. I don’t really think I’ve had a tribe of women who all knew each other and loved each other unconditionally since school, so these ladies are an answer to prayer! There is nothing we can’t say to each other and nothing that will keep us from laughing and doing everything in our power to visit each other at least yearly! The only negative is not living closer. Blogging may become a thing of the past one day, but these ladies are magical gifts here to stay!

Without a doubt, sweet Chrissy, Kellyann, Shelly, Lisa and Laura will ALWAYS INSPIRE US ALL with their LOVE and TALENTS GALORE!! 

Have a Festive and Fun Filled Weekend Friends!
