I mentioned briefly a while back that I have been helping families get their homes ready for the holidays.


You can see a glamorous white one I helped with here on this post.


Today I want to take you into another gorgeous home, but one that has a lot more color. 


This project was super fun for me, and it made me step out of my comfort zone a bit. 


Even though my own home is very neutral, I do love color, so it was fun to play with it in someones home this year.


The entry is close to being finished in these photos.
The trees will have white lights and the lanterns have candles on timers so it will really glow at night.


Do you see the upside down tree hanging in the foyer?

I found the basket at HomeGoods and the poinsettias at TJ Maxx. 
The bottom of the large basket is filled up with packing paper to elevate the ornaments and presents.
A simple burlap bow on the front finishes it off.

The life sized gingerbread man was also found at HomeGoods.
Letters to Santa from Hobby Lobby.
I love how whimsical it is.

Boxwoods and pots from Hobby Lobby, battery operated lights from here.

 This room has 2 trees and is filled with character.

Penguins are from here, stockings from here, pillows from here, and red trees from here.
I purchased most of the ornaments at Pottery Barn and HomeGoods.

Just off the kitchen is an informal dining space.


The color scheme here is lime green and teal which carries over in to the living room, coming up next.

A preserved boxwood garland lines the table with teal and green ornaments woven in and out.

Silver trees and candlesticks and a few other accessories finish off the look.

I lined the upper and lower windows with faux greenery and battery operated votives that flicker. 
I would love to see it all lit up at night!

The living room sits off this room and has the same colors. 
The Christmas tree is over 16′ tall and is real!


Everything in this room is large scaled so decorating it was a bit of a challenge.
