CELEBRATE Christmas DWELL

Our Simple (and snowflake filled!) Holiday Home

DWELL: my simple and snowflake-filled holiday home.

White trees and snowflake decor ideas. Part of a holiday home tour filled with simple and family-friendly decorations.

Have you finished decorating for the holidays yet? I just finished this week and thought I’d take you for a little tour of our holiday home. We have a small house, so  I like to keep our décor simple and focused in a few areas of our house for impact.

I often reuse the same decorations and display them in different ways each year. Many of my decorations I’ve made myself.  This year I have a few new décor items that I mixed into our spaces.

Namely, snowflakes. Lots and lots of snowflakes.

This is the kind of snowstorm I can handle this year. It looks pretty. It sparkles. It does not require any shoveling!

My daughter helped me buy a bunch of snowflakes from the dollar store and craft stores. She’d just watched the movie Frozen and was fascinated with them! (“Elsa’s house!”)

I used hot glue and created a tree shape with the snowflakes on shades of blue and mint paper on my clipboard wall.

A large dollar store felt shape was the perfect place mat to hold a nest of winter birds. This is a simple centerpiece that can easily be moved for mealtimes.

Mixed in with my DIY milk glass trees, snowflakes created a chilly and simple vignette on our kitchen café shelves.

Let it snow! (Just kidding, Mother Nature!)

Moving on to the rest of our house, I love our faux white tree… It’s pretty and I love how it shows off ornaments. I don’t do a fun or new theme on our tree every year, I just reuse our vintage, metallic and red ornaments mixed in with some special personal ones.

I also added matching white garland to the bannister behind the tree and hung stockings down the stairs. Last year, I bought faux fur stockings and a matching tree skirt for a steal on clearance at Restoration Hardware after the holiday season. They add some warmth and coziness to the cold, white branches.

Kitchen wall letters for the holiday.

And I love hanging my oversized JOY letters on the archway into our kitchen.

Kid friendly holiday decor.

There are few kid-friendly and fun additions in our décor like singing snowmen and fuzzy winter animals. They sit within our daughter’s reach and she knows she is allowed to touch these (non-breakable) decorations.

We also have another fun area of holiday decorations that captures her attention. I’ve had this metal ornament hanger for years. Set on a sturdy wooden box, I realized it is just my daughter’s height.

I filled tins below with soft and fun ornaments and she can play and ‘decorate’ her tree as much as she wants. I love that some of these ornaments were from my childhood. (the plastic canvas ones were made by my great-grandmother for me!)

Plastic sheet ornaments. Part of a holiday home tour filled with simple and family-friendly decorations.

And for the rest of the house, there’s not much to show… I just hung some wreaths and set out some containers of pretty ornaments. If you haven’t started to decorate yet and need an EASY holiday decoration… seriously, nothing is simpler than a bowl of shiny baubles! I do it year after year!

Thanks for joining me on our home tour!

    I really LOVE the little black metal ornamental tree on the low box for your daughter to decorate and re-decorate at her whim. Genius!!! I can only imagine the joy that she has found with it.
