Hi friends! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. We got back from the beach on Sunday and we have been busy finishing up the Christmas decorating around here. I did get a head start before we left for our 30-A Thanksgiving trip and I am so glad I did! I really hope to be fully done by December 1 so I can really just sit by the twinkle lights all month and enjoyt it. (oh and I need to start my shopping!)
Today kicks off Part 1 of the 2016 holiday home tour with the foyer. You may recall I recently painted our navy wall with a bright white. I loved that navy wall, but the white definitely brightens up the space.
I mentioned last week but in case you missed it, let me give you a quick recap on the theme this year. As I started pulling down all of my Christmas decor, I realized that I have collected quite a random collection of Christmas decor in our 12 years of marriage.
With many things given to me or purchased through the years, I was just staring at everything and starting to feel a little schitzo. Would it be a traditional look? A woodsy look? A playful, colorful look? Am I still mad for plaid? But I knew I had to decide on something so it wouldn’t look like a bad holiday sweater exploded in my house.
So, after looking through everything, I realized I should just stick to what I love…. so it’s a BLUE CHRISTMAS!
I grabbed some books from our local library and added the first two lines to the Blue Christmas song. I have definitely been singing this for the past two weeks.
For the mirror, I made a Magnolia Wreath using my tried and true tutorial and added some painted blue leaves and metallic copper and gold.
I also made a pair of wreaths for the back of the front door. I’ve always wanted to try this look.
Here is our Advent Calendar. I will add candy canes to each pocket- Sweet P is SO EXCITED.
Here is a close up of the petite tree in the hall. I carried the Indigo Blue and metallic color scheme onto this.
I wrapped up a couple of presents with my color scheme. They are actually empty. It is a good thing because the boys have been tossing them around the house.
Thanks for joining me for Part 1 of the tour. I will be back with more rooms filled with Blue Christmas decor over the next couple of weeks and some fun tutorials for Blue Christmas projects.

This is just beautiful! I love the mix of colors – and that magnolia wreath and advent are my favorites.
Love the Blue Christmas! And your magnolia wreath!
I am loving the blue! I always think of blue for Christmas with the light sparkly blue. But the blues you used! Love 🙂 It totally works. And I totally understand the whole sweater explosion…that’s what I get for decorating with different themes every year 🙂
Ok, totally swooning over your navy blue theme. That’s my favorite color and I’ve never thought of using it for Christmas!
My Dad would have been thrilled with this! He always wanted blue at Christmas. 💙💙 Lovely home, I adored it all.
Thanks Lisa! A Blue Christmas doesn’t have to actually be “blue” right? I am so happy to be “blue”! 🙂
I love your entryway rug. Do you know the name/style and where you purchased the rug.
You can never go wrong with blue anything, including Christmas :). I love the magnolia wreath!
