30 Bloggers' Sparkling Homes, All Decked Out for Christmas
Organized by our hostess, Jennifer Rizzo, this year's Holiday House Walk is full of ultra-creative ideas — here were a few scenes that really caught our eye. Check out #holidayhousewalk2015 on Instagram for even more favorites and tag your own!
Jennifer Rizzo's Natural Tablescape
Hosting the Holiday House Walk in its fifth year, Jennifer kicked things off by topping her table with a plaid linen runner, shiny red apples, and fresh cut greens. But this was only the beginning of her festive color scheme.
Liz Marie's Merry Banner
Liz's bookshelf is decked with lots of rustic accents, like a Farmer's Market sign and pail of holiday greens. A colorful, patterned "Merry Christmas" banner neatly brings the scene together.
Just Destiny's Black and White Accents
Pops of black and white can be seen everything this blogger's home, from the trim of a cozy throw to the Christmas tree's garland.
Eclectically Vintage's Whimsical Stockings
Sure, there are a ton of different stockings you can buy or DIY — but these personalized ones are traditional and funny, since they look just like mini long John's.
Dear Lillie's Cozy Comforter
Try swapping out your usual blankets for a seasonally colored set, like this red quilt. Jennifer added a throw pillow that says "joy" to complete the look.
Kindred Vintage & Co.'s Festive Mantle
Tinsel trees and stockings are super traditional, and always make guests feel like holiday has arrived. Take it up a notch with a sign that displays a line from a favorite festive tune.
City Farmhouse's Wrapping Paper Station
It's no secret that present wrapping can get a bit messy — a designated (and decorated) makeshift station in a little nook is a perfect addition for the holiday season.
French Country Cottage's Luscious Garland
When guests enter Courtney's home, they're greeted with some serious shades of forest green — from the garland outlining the door's perimeter to greenery bursting from planters.
The Lily Pad Cottage's Advent Calendar
Counting down until Christmas day is easy when you've got an Advent calendar. Kelly cleverly hung hers inside a basket with some branches and a bow.
Jeanne Oliver Design's All-White Banister
Skipping the fireplace mantle and going for something a little more whimsical, Jeanne hung her stockings from the banister instead, choosing a monochrome theme.
Rooms for Rent's Illuminated Vignette
Adding a set of twinkling lights to anything will make it instantly magical. Here, this blogger filled glass cloches with lights for a lovely effect.
Paige Knudsen's Ornament Tray
Some ornaments are so pretty, they deserve to be showcased in places other than the tree. Paige displayed a set of colorful baubles in a tray, on top of an ottoman for all her guests to admire up close. (Note: You may need a dog as relaxed as this cutie to pull this off safely in your home.)
Craftberry Bush's Pretty Gifts
Placing neatly wrapped gift boxes — whether they're real or faux — on the steps inside your home is a festive way for kids to get even more excited for Christmas morning.
Rusty Hinge's Color Scheme
Sticking to a theme of red is never a bad idea around the holidays, especially when a main focal point contains the color — like Maria's kitchen "EAT" sign.
Town and Country Living's Cherished Collection
Jennifer proudly displays her collection of bottlebrush trees each year, which add a vintage vibe to her overall decor.
Duke Manor Farm's Inviting Conversation Space
Cozy throws in white and red are draped across the living room seats, which is not just completely inviting, but easy on the eyes, too.
The Shabby Nest's Golden Wings
Clearly, oversized angelic decor will always make a festive statement — and golden hues give off an elegant vibe.
Restoration House Blog's Menu Cards
Kennesha took out the time to handwrite menu cards for her Christmas dinner (and show off her fancy script!).
Jenna Burger's Repurposed Ornaments
Using branches from the yard, Jenna hung a few ornaments, displayed inside of a chic vase.
At the Picket Fence's Hot Cocoa Station
If you're not indulging in some tasty hot chocolate, you're doing Christmas wrong. This rustic cupboard makes for the perfect station, complete with marshmallows and candy canes.
The Yellow Cape Cod's Simple Seating
Rain or shine, snow or sleet, rocking chairs are a classic seating choice that guests can enjoy. Sarah's look super charming, donned with red, detailed throws.
The Golden Sycamore's Lodge-Inspired Space
If you've ever been to a snowy lodge in the mountains during the holidays, Allison's living room probably looks a little familiar — skis and all.
Jen Wagner's Firewood Stash
Utilize the corner of your front porch by making it the home for extra firewood. Give it a festive twist with a seasonal greeting.
Unskinny Boppys' Memory Tree
Beth takes pride in her mismatched ornaments — each one is from a specific vacation or event that she and her family spent together.
Ella Claire's Mini Sisals
Mini sisal trees (complete with mini ornaments, of course) are a fun way to fill an empty dresser.
My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia's Handmade Décor
Kristin's pom-pom garland is a simple and easy DIY that makes a plain white bench stand out. She also filled up a pail with leftover tree trimmings, topping it off with a couple ornaments.
My Sweet Savannah's Rustic Sign
Let your home's visitors know exactly what kind of festive things you're up to with a cheeky door sign.
Golden Boys and Me's Plaid Admiration
At Courtney's home, they greet their guests through the backdoor. So naturally, the mudroom — where almost everyone enters — is decked out with festive plaid essentials.
Susie Harris' Baking Skills
It's not everyday you see a perfectly decorated gingerbread house — even if yours isn't as perfectly set, display your family's creation for a completely handmade decoration.
The Chronicles of Home's Unexpected Centerpiece
Driftwood may not be the first thing your mind goes to when thinking of a Christmas tree — but Jen's store-bought version adds a festive but unique centerpiece to her table.
Guided by our host Jennifer Rizzo, step inside these ultra-creative bloggers' homes during this year's Holiday House Walk.
