I’m so excited to be joining the Home for the Holidays Christmas tour of homes! Hymns and Verses is just one of 30 blogs that are sharing their holiday homes with you! If you missed any of the homes shown on Monday and Tuesday, you can catch up – the full schedule is at the bottom of this post.
2013 Home for the Holidays Tour!
FRONT PORCH
This year I placed my grapevine reindeer right at the front door to great you! My husband said – “Reindeer don’t belong on a porch – they should be in the yard”! But, these reindeer are friendly and want to greet my guests!
I picked up a small tree and placed it in an old orchard basket and decorated it with a pom pom garland, plaid ribbon, and word ornaments.
The wreath on the door has a pretty, white wooden snowflake in the center with just the right amount of glitter and some white and red plaid ribbon!
LIVING ROOM
Now, come on inside and see what I did in the living room. I hung some large pinecones from ribbon in my front windows.

Gorgeous! I'm going to scroll through your photos several times to soak all the beauty in! I have a major crush on your dinin room!
Beautiful! I love it all!
Merry Christmas!
So many excellent ideas at your house! I'm going to study these. One of my favorite things is the little bitty picture frame with sheet music in it. I absolutely love the deer art work you made too.
Oh my goodness Doreen, absolutely gorgeous! I love every single room and vignette! You have the most beautiful, warm and welcoming home!
Love, love, love what you did – and I cannot believe how much you got accomplished in just two days. Are you sure there's not an Army of elves hiding behind the trees? 🙂 I am coveting that red plaid reindeer framed art. Are you going to show how to make that? I want one. Thanks so much for joining in our tour and allowing us to come into your home. xxoo, Barb
Doreen!!! Your home is AMAZING!! I loved every single detail and that tree…oh my word that tree is gorgeous! You have so much talent and creativity and it all feels so warm and welcoming. Well done! 🙂
Vanessa
I want that tablecloth! What a great find for your kitchen, and it is perfect for Christmas.
I'm in love with every detail of your home, but I think the back porch may be my favorite place of all. I love the vintage wagon and tricycle, plus the Coke crate paired with mason jars. I cannot believe you did all of this in TWO days. You are a superwoman!
Looks so gorgeous!! Love all the touches of red and that paper garland you made is beautiful!
First time visitor to your blog and I must say everything is beautiful. It looks like it's straight from a magazine. Your style, staging, and photography is inspiring! Thanks for sharing it all with us! Pinning and following you now! ~ Angie at Postcards from the Ridge
Oh my goodness, Girlfriend, you NAILED it!!! Your home is beautiful! Honestly, it should be in a magazine! Everything works together to make for a very festive and restful Christmas! Hope you get to enjoy it now! I can find some places where Baby Button might like to curl up–beside the friendly reindeer? Or maybe on the porch swing beside the teddy bear? Don't be surprised if I come up for hot chocolate very soon so I can ooh and ahh over your home in person.
Best comment of the day, Linda! Baby Button was here checking out the reindeer when I was putting them out the other day – I think he wondered why I was putting them on the porch too!
Beautiful I love how you coorporate the bicycle and the wagon into your Christmas decoration !
Doreen your attention to detail is so evident. Just beautiful, so cheerful and inviting. Had to do a little pinning of some of your vignettes,
Kathysue
There are so many little things I love in your home…your vignettes are beautiful…Thanks Doreen for inviting us into your home…xo
Beautiful work! I just got inspired! Thank YOU!

Doreen, what a gorgeous home you have… filled with your creative touches. Your back porch should be on the cover of Country Living or Holiday Inspiration! I have loved all of your creative and inspirational touches!!! From each vignette, to the pillows and that amazing winter-wonderland-of-a-tree… to the deer made from a $5.00 tablecloth and the sweet bear on top of the gifts in the wagon all is AMAZING and filled with Christmas magic! I'm sharing this today!!!!
GORGEOUS!!!!! I love every single inch – but that mantel, makes me weak in the knees!
This was so much fun! Totally enjoyed seeing how you decorate for Christmas and seeing all your creative touches.
I love it! Gorgeous! All the white with the touches of red just make me swoon! Thanks so much for the tour!
STUNNING every single space, nook, and cranny. I love the white and silver room the best and the nativity/mantle. Well done. Jen-COM
Oh, Doreen, this is all so over the top cute, festive, cheery and happy! Oh, I want your checked framed deer silhouette. I wish I was crafty. You really got your mileage out of that tablecloth. I think I just may go back and look at all this again.
I enjoyed this so much, all your fun touches combined with white and little pops of color~everything looks perfect but not too perfect!
Jenna
Absolutely Beautiful Doreen!! I kept scrolling up and down to make sure I didn't miss anything:)
Okay, this is the best house I have seen on the tour this year. Looks very homey and not that "staged" look. Thanks for letting us see it!
Doreen,
I will definitely leave your blog post today with a smile on my face and JOY in my heart, dear one!!!
I, truly, enjoyed your Christmas decor throughout the entire visit!!!
Thank you for sharing this charming, inviting, inspirational Home Tour with us!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Your home is filled with love and joy in every vignette. I love the fresh greens and berries. Your tour was very enjoyable. Thank you.
Your house is so beautiful–the decorating is perfect!
Wow! You got a lot done in 2 days!!! I am beyond impressed. I have always loved your home, but your Christmas home has me ready to move in! Thanks for sharing, friend! ~Christy
What a gorgeous home tour. Love your Christmas decor, it's just lovely!.
Love your holiday home! And, how special you have your childhood tricycle and son's wagon together under your porch tree! I have the same flocked tree from WM and love it! Thanks for the gorgeous tour and Happy Holidays!
So gorgeous! I love your porch… I could spend all day out their listening to Christmas music and sipping cocoa. Love all your pops of red. Thrilled to be on tour with you!
Doreen, you did a beautiful job decorating your home for Christmas. It looks cozy, bright and joyful. Thank you for the tour!
Doreen, everything looks beautiful!! I especially love the red and white. You surely got your money's worth out of that red tablecloth, didn't you? 🙂
Oh my goodness! Your home is breathtaking. I love everything so much I can't pick my favorite part! It's my first time visiting your blog, but I will definitely be following along. 🙂
It's all so lovely I just had to pin:-) Thank you also for sharing the templates to the Nativity, I've been looking to do something like that.
Your house and decor is really beautiful, I very much enjoyed my visit tonight. thanks!
Your home is stunning! Perfectly decorated for Christmas! Yours was one of my favorites last year and it is again this year! I want to pin things but there is so much good stuff I don't even know where to start! lol!
Your home is beautiful! I really like your old door turned message center and your reindeer DIY art.
Wow! You did that in 2 days? I'm positively impressed and inspired.I love that flocked tree – it truly looks real. We always had a flocked tree growing up (my parents always had an order in at a local tree farm). So that brings back lots of memories.
I also love all the pops of red. And that reindeer art has my wheels turning!
Oh , I loved everything about your holiday decor. Just perfect and not bad for 2 days! I especially love the special items that are so special to you and your family …. Christmas memories. Happy Holidays.
PS- That tablecloth silhouette is amazing!
Everything is absolutely gorgeous Doreen!! I love the red and white, vintage goodies, and your tree is divine – xo

Hi, Doreen! Your home is just amazing. You had me at the tree, than the pops of red, the hot cocoa station, but especially the mantel and fireplace. That is a work of art!
Thank you so much for joining us on our tour!
I enjoyed seeing your gorgeous home for Christmas.
I'm really enjoying the home tours this year and I love yours! I love the red, the flocked tree, the porch tree etc. It's really beautiful! Blessings, Pamela

I am so in love with all you did! My favorite thing is that rudolf pic and your check chairs.
Your Christmas decorating is just charming and wonderful.
So happy I found this, I have had one too many beige Christmas tours.

OH.MY.GOSH!!! Doreen, you have taken my breath away!!! That faux flocked tree is AH-MAZING!! I love that sweet paper garland! The cloche is precious as well as that adorable sheep! Your kitchen is gorgeous. Love the touch of red check. You did good with that tablecloth girlfriend. So many things to love…you are one talented gal!
My first time to your blog and I must say I will be back. Love your home and the love that shines in every detail. Merry Christmas.
Your home is so lovely and your decorations are so creative! I went on a little Pinning spree 🙂 I especially love your reindeer art – I would never have guessed it was made from a tablecloth! I also love your flocked tree and mantel decorations.
It is all so lovely Doreen, but that flocked tree is just perfect. A beautiful Christmas home… thank you for the tour.
Every detail is just beautiful! I LOVED the tour! Merry Christmas! Melissa @ DaisyMaeBelle
Doreen, I am just now getting around to seeing your home tour and it is GORGEOUS! I think you are a genius for using a red and white tablecloth to cover your chair seats and to also create that stunning piece of deer art in your kitchen! I am going on a pinning spree because there are so many incredible and creative ideas on your tour. ~Jane
Absolutely beautiful! You did a wonderful job decorating your home for Christmas! I loved the tour, THANKS for sharing!! 🙂
would you mind emailing me the link to your Christmas tree? It's beautiful and I've been searching for a large flocked tree. [email protected]. Thank you!
Doreen – you home is just gorgeous! I never knew that I want, no need, a flocked tree until I saw yours. 😉 Really enjoyed your tour. The nativity mantel is great and I love the red-checked deer in your kitchen too!
Doreen, I can't get over that tree, it's just amazing. So glad you got what you wanted. And that dining room is just the perfect combination of red and white!
Wait, and I love the reindeer too. I've always wanted to decorate my porch but don't have anything as fun to put out there, they look great!
Hope you have a wonderful holiday season 🙂
I would love to come to your home for a cup of tea. What a lovely, welcoming home. Thanks for giving us a tour!
Your home is decorated beautifully for Christmas. Happy Holidays!

Have a very Merry Christ-centered Christmas as well as a good and healthy new year.
Hell Doreen,
Happy to see ya at my party with your beautiful Christmas home tour…thanks so much for coming. Merry Christmas!
Blessings,

Your home is simply gorgeous! I adore the flocked tree in the living room – whole room is amazing but the tree really stands out to me since I've been wanting to do a flocked tree for years. I also enjoyed the red and white theme throughout the house. But then I'm a girl who can get carried away with red very easily! LOL. You've done an amazing job at making your home cozy and festive.
Question: In the dinning room you have what I'd call a black painted dry sink next to the corner hutch. Did you make it? I'm crushing on it.
Beautiful!! I love every little bit – especially all your greenery, your jingle pillow – the reindeer silhouette, and the outdoor porch with your tricycle and wagon – so many perfect and adorable vignettes. LOVE all the hits of red!!
Following you across the board on all your social media now! Can't wait to see what you have in store for 2014:) Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas!!
First time here and totally LOVE the decor. I think the reindeer is in the perfect spot. And the porch tree is my favorite. Awesome. Where did you get that awesome house number? It is SO cool. Happy Holiday! Joan
Which flocked tree did you get at Walmart? Was it the 7.5 feet one that was $128.00? It is just beautiful!
I just wrote the last comment about which flocked Christmas tree from Walmart. If you could please email me the link for the tree, I would greatly appreciate it. My email address is: [email protected] Thank you so much!!!

Well, we are still enjoying your home tour and it is almost Christmas 2014. I think I pinned almost every photo. 🙂 Thanks so much for the great ideas!
It is now 2019, and on a beautiful sunny October afternoon in Tennessee I enjoyed your Christmas home tour. Your ideas are still great inspiration today.
