    A Very Merry and Bright Home Tour Conclusion

    Hey friends, Today is the last day of the Merry and Bright Holiday Home Tour blog hop, and I can't believe how fast the time has gone!

    It's been a joy sharing my home with you for the holidays!

     

    If you're coming from My Life Well Loved, welcome, and I'm glad you're here! If not, make sure to stop by  and visit Heather and her handsome little man :)! I've also linked to all the other talented ladies on the tour  at the end of the post.

    Missed part of the tour? Catch up with part1 and part 2.

    I hope you enjoy the last part of the tour.

    Let's start with the Christmas brunch tablescape I put together since last week.

     

    If you follow me on Instagram you've might have seen my Instagram Stories about the blue and white jackpot I came across last weekend via a {slightly shady} Facebook sales ad. This jar was one of the pieces that I got for a steal!

     

    The place setting is casual, with my blue with blue willow salad plates layered between a dish set I found at the thrift store last year with only a few dollars!  The gold flatware adds just a touch of sparkle to the table.

     

     

    I love pairing colorful flowers with blue and white pieces. This centerpiece was super easy. I placed the ginger jar on a gold tray and just filled the tray with ornaments.

     

    I plan to do this from now until Christmas 😂.

     

    I kept my gift wrapping simple, using white and kraft paper dressed up with pretty bows {and the paper} from Paper Mart. You can find the free gift tags HERE.

     

    Right across from the table is our much used hot cocoa bar I shared earlier in the season.

     

    For the first time in in a long time, I went with a classic red and white Christmas pallette. Although it's a departure for me color wise, I used it throughout the whole first floor of my home. I just love how cheerful and festive it make the whole house feel!

     

     

    Let's look back at some snippets from the past two weeks...

    There was no shortage of plaid.

     

     

    Boxwood wreaths are always a good idea!

     

    I layered this big beautiful boxwood wreath from Silk Plants Direct over the mirror in my entry. I love the look so much it might just stay there well after Christmas.

     

    You can find the free vintage skate printable here!

     

     

    Boots, bows, and throws are a few of my favorite things.

     

     

    Of course we needed one last gratuitous photo of Magnolia 😄.

     

    We wish you a very happy holiday season and New Year!

     

    Next on the Merry and Bright Holiday Home Tour is Debbie from Refresh ReStyle.  Be sure to visit her beautiful holiday home!

      Linda, I have scrolled through this post multiple times swooning over the gorgeous details you created in your holiday home. Really lady, can you you top this tray with the chinoiserie ginger jar and glitz ornaments? I think not!!! I just want to come over for coffee, snoop around then chat about your talented designs! Love everything! Merry Christmas, Magnolia!
