Tour Our 2024 Decorated Christmas Home! | Thrifty ...

Is it me or did Christmas arrive a month earlier than usual? 😂 Anyone else feel like this season has FLOWN by? 

It must be because Thanksgiving was later this year? Whatever the reason, I’m way behind this year. I wanted to have this tour up weeks ago…but here we are! 

I hope you enjoy this Christmas home tour and it inspires you! I plan to put a video tour together, I’ll update this when I get that up. 

Bedroom

I like to add a few Christmas touches in our room every year, like our flocked, snowy tree: 

This year I did all silver and white ornaments on that tree, but didn’t hang them everywhere. I kind of cascaded them around the tree, in a band of ornaments. 

It’s just a different look and I really like how it turned out! 

I draped some of my favorite Norfolk greenery on our standing mirror: 

I tucked it into the garland and finished this off with a green velvet bow at the top:

Kitchen

Over the years I’ve inadvertently started a collection of little Christmas salt and pepper shakers and other cute tiny decor: 

I now have four or five sets of Christmas shakers, they are so fun!

Figuring out ways to add both form and function in the kitchen has always been fun for me!

I also use these metal rails (from IKEA) on the ends of our cabinets: 

And above our stovetop: 

The hooks make it easy to add some Christmas touches around the kitchen. 

I feel like they make everything less cluttered, but are also super useful. I always add a few holiday touches to the long tray that stays on our countertop all year: 

I adore lighting a candle in here at night and turning down the lights. There’s something about a soft and glowy kitchen!: 

I have to share my friend’s amazing cookie talent! I would use these as decor if I could: 

She delivers these to us every year and yes, they taste as good as they look! 

Entryway 

It’s one of my favorite holiday vignettes I’ve put together! 

It makes me smile when I walk by every day: 

In the doorway leading to our main living area, I hung a couple of garlands from the top and added some bells and berries: 

Family Room 

Usually the Christmas tree is the star of our family room, but this year the mantel stole the show!:

Our family room has super high ceilings, but the holiday decor always makes it feel so cozy!:

I found so many beautiful vintage finds this year, and this carved Santa figurine was one of my favorites: 

Who knows if it’s actually vintage, but I fell in love with it. 🙂

Dining Room 

I always struggle with table centerpieces, especially during the holidays. I don’t want it to be in the way, but want something pretty. 

I added some burgundy taper candles from the craft store and it finished this off perfectly! 

It’s simple and the candlelight is beautiful, but we can still sit at the table and see across to each other: 

The little houses light up but I didn’t want to mess with replacing the batteries, so I just draped some battery-operated fairy lights throughout the village.

Staircase

Before I could never get the draping just right, and hanging them from the handrail made me nervous for safety reasons. (I’ve developed this anxiety about people falling down stairs…I’m weird.)

It’s so much easier to hang them this way too!

Office

The grasscloth wallpaper is perfect with the dark green built ins and molding on the walls. I had fun adding some subtle holiday touches in here: 

I did end up adding some lights to those DIY wreaths! They are on a timer and turn on in the evenings:
