2023 Thrifty Decor Chick Christmas home tour!

Now it’s time to take a look around the rest of the house. 🙂 As always, I’ll
try to add links to project and items that may be helpful. Otherwise, if you
have any questions, please let me know in the comments. 

I found this sweet ceramic village at Costco this year and couldn’t pass it
up. It was perfect for our foyer table:

The Christmas village is so pretty all lit up!: 

In our powder room I decorate the DIY shelf and that’s about it. I found all
of these cute little trees in the Target dollar spot a few years ago:

They go with the colors in that beautiful wallpaper perfectly. 

I love this simple tray display on our kitchen island. There’s a pretty
apple cinnamon scented candle
(the best candle scent I’ve found in a long time!), our cookie jar and a
little tree in the front:

And our hand and dish soap bottles on the back:

Party in the front, business in the back. 😉 

I built these
heavy duty floating shelves
a few years ago and I LOVE decorating them for Christmas. I display our
Christmas cards up there too:

I turned this spot into a beverage station — the wine glasses are easy to
reach and my husband loves his coffee station:

I added some cute little wreaths to the back of our island stools — they
are so festive!:

The little reindeer over the stove are just wood cut outs from the craft
store. I use sticky putty to hang them on the tile backsplash:

Here’s a view I don’t share often — from our kitchen into the dining
area:

This year I added some garland and twinkling lights above our window seat
wall in the dining area:

I wrapped floral wire around the ends of some pine cones to create a little
bundle in the middle:

That peace on Earth sign is one of my favorites — I found that at a craft
fair years ago.

I went with some simple glass candleholders filled with snow and a candle
for the dining room buffet:

A friend of mine had these
pretty light up branches
in a vase and I LOVED them! They are battery-operated and come with a
remote:

I added some greenery and red berries from Hobby Lobby as well:

So fun! I may keep those branches out all winter. 

I swear a room needs during the holidays is greenery and candlelight. You’ll
be set with just those two things!:

Our family room is the piece de résistance every Christmas. Other than our
basement, it is by far our favorite spot.

All of the animals included: 

cats sleeping in chair

Twilight is my favorite time of day in here. It is so warm and cozy:

I don’t change up the decor on the built in bookcases next to the fireplace,
but I did add a few little holiday touches on the tall green cabinet in the
family room:

Those brass reindeer were a Big Lots find — I love them! 

Our stockings hang with some long ornaments on the other side of the
mantel: 

I always add a couple strands of battery-operated twinkle lights to the
greenery on the mantel. They are on a timer so I never have to mess with
it:

I think I’ll do that every year, I just love how it looks. We always add
candles and little ceramic village houses to the steps. They are simple but
oh-so-pretty! 

I hope you enjoyed this holiday decor tour! I had a LOT of fun decorating
the house this year. I started earlier than ever and highly recommend
it. 

It has been wonderful to really enjoy the decor all season instead
of stressing about getting it up. 

If I don’t talk to you before — happy holidays, Merry Christmas and have a
wonderful and safe new year! I am so thankful for you all!
