Christmas Home Tour 2018 -Part II

Christmas Home Tour 2018 -Part II: Rustic Scandi design, with lots of white and natural elements and some vintage Xmas pieces too.

Christmas Home Tour 2018 -Part II: Rustic Scandi design, with lots of white and natural elements and some vintage Xmas pieces too.I’m so excited you’re here!  Today I’m going to be sharing my living room, kitchen, study and bedroom all decorated for Christmas as part of the Canadian Bloggers Christmas Home Tours hosted by Shannon at Home Made Lovely and Christina at The DIY Mommy.  Be sure to check out the tours from all week at the bottom of the post.

I love a rustic Scandi style -lots of white, and natural elements like pine, birch, and pine cones.  I’ve enjoyed adding some fun vintage pieces in to this year.  I hope you enjoy.

Living Room

Let’s start in the living room all dressed up for Christmas.  I made the garland on the stairs with some pine I collected in the woods.  It does dry out fairly quickly, but there’s nothing nicer than fresh pine at Christmas, worth cleaning up a few needles, or even a lot of needles. 😉

I’ve kept the tree really simple this year, and I really love it.

The tree is decorated with some pretty white paper ornaments and a white glass balls in clear  -that’s it and I love how simple it is.

Inspired by the paper ornaments, I added a few paper balls to the bottom of the tree too on some sheep skin rugs.  The tree is in a  vintage galvanized tub.

Over on the other side of the room, is the fireplace.

My helper doing what he does best, keeping me company.  I think he’s realized now that posing leads to dog treats, and he’s becoming a very willing model. 😉

I recently re-did my study and now it’s a very seldom empty.
