Christmas House Tour {Part One}

Christmas House Tour {Part One}

Welcome, friends! I’m SO glad you stopped by today for the annual Christmas tour of my home in our little corner of the Pacific Northwest (I’m joining in with the Holiday Home Tours via Just a Girl!). This is part one of a two part house tour, you can find Part Two here. While these tours are fun to enjoy in their best form, I’m sure you’ll all enjoy seeing what happened in the days following, so after the tours be sure to check out the aftermath post here. On to the tour!

We literally are nestled in here between forest and sea, thus the inspiration for my Christmas house! I’m not much of a theme decorator but somehow, that’s just how it all came together!

As I mentioned in my last post, I intentionally keep things pretty simple around the holidays. I love the whole experience of creating a home all year round but as the holidays approach, I add just a touch more festivity and greenery to hopefully create a cozy magical space for my family to enjoy at Christmas (without causing my stress levels to elevate :). I’m so happy to invite you in to our little world here! Come on in!

We’ve lived here for nearly six years, so every year we feel a little bit more settled here!

I’ll be sharing more photos of the house throughout the week and the second half of the tour with additional pics and details on Friday, so be sure to come back for more! OK, on with the tour!

Christmas House Tour {Part One}

As I was getting ready to take pics, Jack and Lily kept peeking their heads out the door wondering who was coming over. I told them friends were coming to visit! They were so excited and curious to meet you that I just had to snap an action shot so you could see them waiting to greet you. They LOVE company!

Now, for any of you who might wonder where our beautiful white and gray rug is that looked so pretty in pictures in the summer time, the truth is it isn’t likely to come back out until the weather cooperates a bit more because mama doesn’t like to have to deal with cleaning a white rug every two hours in the winter. Truth. I’m crazy but I’m not that crazy. Even though the white one is an easy-care indoor-outdoor rug which I love, this one is small enough that I can just toss it in the wash and swap out another one as needed. Easy peasy.

I’m not gonna fake you out that I have a perfectly clean 5 x 7 white rug this time of year so welcome to our real life entry complete with washable throw rugs and pine needles. Embracing those things is a pre-requisite for life in the NW. Are any of you from here? You know what I’m talking about.

(But once the weather turns around, my white rug is totally coming back out!).

Christmas House Tour {Part One}

Oh, wait, one more thing before you get all the way inside and then I PROMISE I’ll let you in the house, I wanted to show you my “wreath.” I found this cute hanging basket at World Market and filled it with a mix of fresh and faux greenery. It will be perfect all winter long, which makes it my favorite! Bless those talented crafty people who find the time and creative energy to make new seasonal decor for their doors every few weeks.

Christmas House Tour {Part One}

Ok, finally! COME IN!

I love using fresh greenery and it’s readily available outside our front door! But since our neighborhood trees were sopping wet I bought four boughs of cedar at a local nursery for $4 each. Many years I have bought garland from Costco but since we leave our fireplace on a lot, the garland dries out pretty quickly and makes a real mess. Then you have to pull the whole thing down, which creates even more of a mess. So this year, I got smart and just bought the boughs because if they dry out before I’m ready to be done with Christmas, it would be easy enough to replace them.

Christmas House Tour {Part One}

I wanted to do something a little different this year on our stairway, so I just tied some rope around the newel posts and added the cedar and a simple ribbon bow. It was so easy and I think it turned out pretty cute. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to full garland!

Christmas House Tour {Part One}

OK, I’m gonna try to just be quiet now and let you look around. I’ll interject a random comment here or there so you’ll know I’m still with you, but mostly you can just wander and look because no one’s got time to hear me ramble on today. Plus I’ll be back with more so I’ll leave some things to talk about in a future post. Feel free to ask questions if you want though and I can try to answer!

That teapot in the background is a treasured gift from my hubby. We were on an anniversary weekend one year many years ago and went to a fun little tea house. He bought me the teapot as a gift. I love bringing it out this time of year especially, it just looks so festive to me. It has a little cream and sugar bowl too!

Christmas House Tour {Part One}

Instead of my usual mug tree, I set up a little hot chocolate station with my tiered stand, with a nutcracker to watch over the marshmallows. We made the “peace” banner out of wood slices last year and loved it so much we just hung it up again in the same spot this year! I’m not too crafty so when I make something you will likely see it every year until I make something new. Ha!

I wish I could say I did the art on my chalkboard because that would be awesome, but alas, I have no talent with lettering so I snatched up this adorable Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas chalkboard downloadable art from Dear Lillie on a Thanksgiving sale. I had it printed locally and I just love it! Such a bright cheery message that always gets me singing as I make my way down the hall to my office.

So here we are in the Family Room where you can see our freshly cut Christmas tree! You can read the story in my last post about about why we cut down a fresh tree every year. I absolutely love the smell of fresh Christmas trees, my whole house smells wonderful right now! My metal star garland and the deer pillow in my dining room came from the Winter Trunk at Season in a Trunk.

Christmas House Tour {Part One}

Nearly everything in our house has a memory attached to it or represents something special to us. Even though we don’t use a lot of traditional themed Christmas decor, every element we do use is special to us and reminds us of family times through the years, favorite holidays we spent together on the coast and special memories we treasure. We’ve lived in the NW for almost all of our lives and raised our children here (Portland and Seattle) so while we no longer have our beach house and moved away from our home in Portland six years ago, we feel blessed to still be near our family in a part of the country we love so much.

We decorated our tree this year with a quirky collection of animal ornaments. Why? Because WE LOVE THEM! We have all sorts of creatures from the forest and the sea. We crack up over animals with personalities so of course, we find our forest and sea tree to be perfectly suited to our sense of humor. We’ve been collecting these animals for awhile, many of them came to us a couple of years back when I did the woodland tree! We have quirky animals all over our house even when it isn’t Christmas, have you noticed that? :).

    Hi Melissa! What a tour! You have such a knack!!!! I also wanted to mention how I love how you keep your blog about decor and home and not religious…(Ha even though you are a preachers wife!) just because everyone has their own beliefs and when you love someone’s blog and they have such a talent like yours that is why you come every day . So many other blogs do the opposite and you have to skip so much of their blog to get to their talent. Hope I’m making sense haha. Also was wondering what happened to your Nepresso? Do you still love it? If so do you use it for your daily coffee or just for specialty coffee? If I get one I want to use daily. Is it practical for that in your opinion? Thanks Melissa for so much of my home inspiration!!!! Jen

    So beautiful, fresh, festive!!! Question – does that crate in the entry stay in front of the heater or was that just for the photo? I am asking because we have a large radiant heat unit about the same size right next to the front door. I’m wanting a boot tray and catch-all table in that space but worried about it being too close to the heater.

    Reply
    • Melissa @ The Inspired Room

      No it’s always there! That is just an air return vent so as long as it’s not completely blocked I think it’s ok to leave stuff there. It’s a handy little crate, it’s full of dog leashes and stuff like that. :)

    Thank-you so much for sharing your home with us, it looks so warm and inviting and your greeters are absolutely adorable.
    I live in the NW also on the Canadian side so I too am surrounded by the Sea and Forest. I just can’t seem to get enough of my pine cones to display at this time of year. Or stepping out into the yard to clip the fresh greenery. It’s a blessing to be able to shop in the yard.

    Thank-you again and I watched the video and really appreciate to sharing it, it was beautifully done..

    Warm wishes,

      I got that rug at Target and I loved it so much I bought a couple of them so when one is dirty I have a spare or two. We use them by both doors. I’m not sure what it is made of but I just throw them in the wash and lay them out to dry. They’ve been great! Thanks so much!

      For the blue jar I just set the tree in the jar and that’s it. The other one we glued it to the lid upside down and added the snow. I am pretty sure I got the snow at Michaels’ Craft! :-D Thanks!

    Your home is great! I am putting down hardwood in the den. I was going with dark planks until I saw your light floors. What are they?
    Where did you get your gather together pillow?
    And one last nosy question: Where did you get the navy blue with white polka dot mug?
    Whew-that should keep you busy.

    Reply
    • Melissa @ The Inspired Room

      Thank you, Pam! I LOVE my floors. They have been so great. We had dark hardwoods in our last house and while I love the look I didn’t love how dusty they looked all the time. These are so easy to keep up with, mostly just a sweeping now and then! They are natural Hickory hardwood, prefinished. I have them on my whole main floor and about half the upstairs so far. I can’t wait to have them everywhere! Here is the post where I give all the details on them and links to the exact flooring! https://theinspiredroom.net/2012/12/18/mohawk-natural-hickory-hardwood-flooring/

      I got the Gather pillow at a local furniture shop, but I saw something similar out of stock at Nordstrom and it said “Primitives by Kathy” on it so maybe google that and see what comes up! Lastly, the navy blue polka dot mug is a Polish Pottery piece. I got it at TJ Maxx and sometimes you can find them at Costco. I have a few cool bowls too (I think you’ll see them on the wall in my tour on Friday!)

      Thanks!

    I love your decor, especially the look of upholstered furniture sitting on bare wood floors. I do have a question: how do you keep the chairs from sliding backward on the slick floor when someone sits down (or in the case of teenagers or spouses, throws themselves into the chair with abandon)? I have to use rubber thingies under the chair’s feet to control sliding (and gouging), but wonder if there is a better way. Thanks!

    Melissa, I just love “visiting” in your home. Thank you again for sharing it with me!
    We came to this home 42 Christmases ago; where does the time go?!? In the beginning, I/we wanted things like what we knew from our family celebrations which were quite similar. In recent years, I have simplified more and more. We are not coastal, but I love the ocean and our visits there are treasured memories, so for several years I have left out our shells and sea art and used them as part of our Christmas décor – now I want a sea turtle!
    You inspire me to follow my heart, using the natural, simple beauty of nature for Christmas and winter.

    So gracious of you to invite us in for a peak around your lovely home all decked out for the holidays.
    You’ve created a lovely, calm and cozy space with charming festive details that make it just special and thoughtful enough without going overboard on the trimmings.
    I’m not used to ‘dropping by’ empty handed and I wish I could visit with a home made treat from my kitchen but I think a few compliments will have to do.
    I adore your front door basket and like you I like to decorate with items I can keep around for the entire winter as well as use the abundant greenery near my doorstep and this one, Melissa, is a delightful keeper! (I can also see potential as spring starts to appear but I’ll stop myself from getting carried away and stick to it being an original winter welcome! ;-))
    Your rope garland on the stairs is so keeping with your ‘sea and forest’ theme and it’s so charming paired with the bunches of cedar branches.
    Those glittery initials on your stockings are such a wonderful idea to personalize them that I just might use the idea for next year’s display.
    Although it’s not part of the seasonal decor, I must comment on your cute little iPad/tablet diplay stand in your kitchen; it’s so cute. Would you mind sharing where you got it?
    Happy holidays to you from across the pond, with warmes wishes for cozy gatherings filled with laughter and blessings.

    Everything’s lovely! I have a strange question, though: where did you get your white dining room table? I’ve been looking to replace a 15-year-old white Pottery Barn table and everything seems to have a textured surface now.

      That’s so funny because this is an old pottery barn table! It was originally pine and I painted it white. I think we’ve had it for over 20 years. It’s a bit wobbly now from all of our moves and using it for so long! It’s hard to find one I like better though.

    Melissa your home and your decorating eye are just superb. I feel so “at home” when just browsing your photos. Love that pine cone garland and the way you can put many things together without them looking cluttered. That is important when we only have a 1000 ft home! I do have lots of beautiful little items that I like to display however and you have shown me it IS possible. I hope to get up to that favorite shop on the Oregon coast one day. We live in on the central Oregon coast. I love how you have mingled and meshed the forest and ocean together in your designs. My husband and I were just discussing that very thing this morning. It is not easy to do…represent the ocean/beach while also the forest and hills. You have done an amazing work of art in your home. Thank you for sharing.
