Seasonal Decor

Simple Christmas Decor

I am excited to be a part of the Seasonal Simplicity Christmas home tour as we share Simple Christmas Decor ideas.  I had to miss the fall blog hop because we were in the middle of a DIY kitchen remodel (to see more on that journey, go HERE)!

If you are here from Making Home Base, welcome!

With all the craziness of the kitchen remodel, my Christmas decor is pretty simple this year.

One of the two Christmas trees is in the family room along with some greenery on the mantel, stockings and a wreath.

The tree is filled with metallic neutral ornaments and little DIY santa photo ornaments.

I absolutely adore putting up these handmade ornaments every year.

The navy walls are new to the space this years and have changed the look of my holiday decor simply by changing the backdrop of the room.

In the kitchen nook, the DIY open shelves are a recent add to the DIY shiplap wall.

The shelves are filled with my kids’ santa pics through the years.  It is pretty obvious how special these photos are to me – I love how you can see them grow from year to year.

Unfortunately now that my 12-year-old is bigger than santa, I’m not sure how much longer the tradition of the pictures with santa will last…

Right off the kitchen, is a cute little hot cocoa bar.

I am a huge fan of my friend Cara’s chalkboard art of Word for Word Chalk Art.

Our second tree is in our library/music room.

This room was my home office, but the piano lost its wall during the kitchen remodel. The $50 painted piano was moved, and I feel so fancy calling the space the music/library room.

The dining room was decorated earlier this fall with greenery that works well for Thanksgiving as well as Christmas (go here to see more on the tablescape and wreaths).

The chalkboard name plates are also a creation by my friend Cara.

Thanks so much for taking the time to tour my home all (simply) decked out for the holidays! Go see Just a Girl and Her Blog for more holiday inspiration!

  1. Simple is GOOD! I love your dining room – gorgeous wreaths and those chalk name plates are adorable! Thanks for sharing – it looks fantastic Sara.

  2. So stunning Sara! I love that you display all the santa photos from over the years, I think I’m going to have to dig mine out. Such a sweet tradition and now my boys don’t sit on his lap anymore (sad face). Also, I’ve been following along on your kitchen renovation on Instagram and LOVE it! Have a wonderful holiday season. – Kristy

  3. Sara, this is absolutely stunning! I love every detail!! Your new kitchen is gorgeous and dying over your living room. Where did you get that print from above your fireplace?
    Happy holidays!
    Hugs, Jamie

One outdoor kitchen and suddenly we’re hosting every weekend. ☀️🍉 We recently added @blueskyoutdoorliving_brand White Shaker 3-Piece Outdoor Kitchen Combo to our pool patio, and it’s completely changed how we entertain. From graduation parties to Memorial Day cookouts, it’s become the gathering spot all summer long.

The weather-resistant cabinets feature a patented folding design that assembles surprisingly fast. 💨

#DutchBoyPartner This bathroom leaned a little cool, so I warmed it up with Sandstone Tint by @dutchboypaints and it completely changed the look of the space.

No major reno. No new cabinets. Just paint.

Save this if you’ve been wanting to try a DIY project

I created this reel two years ago, but since the fields behind our house rotate between corn and beans… it’s a corn summer again. 🌽

The older I get, the more I appreciate these ordinary little rhythms of life. Watching the field change through the seasons has quietly become one of my favorite parts of home.

We waited 13 years for this - and our house looks happier with her glow-up!

We went from a drafty single door (with a 90s glass inlay I poorly covered up) to double doors that allows in more light and feel right for our home.

What do you think?
