My Holiday House~

Today I'm joining in the Holiday Tour of Homes over at Nesting Place. If this is your first time at The Shabby Nest, Welcome! I hope you enjoy your visit. Take a minute and look around. If you like what you see, I'd love to have you come back to visit! I just love new bloggy friends.
For those of you who have visited before, I hope you enjoy seeing some of my favorite Christmas decor from around my house this year (again). I have included links to the posts about each in case you want to learn more.

I adore the Christmas Season. And one of my favorite parts of Christmas is getting to dress up my house for the holidays. I start planning a couple of months in advance. (Not that I get anything actually done that early...but it all starts to come together in my head.)

And this year, I decided that I wanted to go with a calm, neutral palette. One that was festive, but that was serene and understated. So I chose to go with a palette of white, silver, taupe, black and green (of course!). I am really happy with the way everything turned out. It's truly become my Holiday Haven.

Here a few pics of the decor I have spread throughout the house....hope you enjoy!

I had a great time putting together our mantel this year. First things first...everyone has been asking about the chairs in front of the fireplace...we purchased them at TJMaxx several months ago. For more on the mantel click here. For a tutorial on how to make your own pretty ornament wreath like the one hanging over the mirror, click here.





Our Christmas dining room this year...love the angel wings. For more on that room, click here.












Just one of the Christmas vignettes around our house. For more on that click here.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!
