2015 Christmas Decor Home Tour

It's almost Christmas and I am SO excited!
I love everything about the holiday season,
but I especially love to decorate my apartment
and make it super festive!

I shared my Christmas Decorations last year,
and had planned to sorta scale back this time around,
but once I get started decorating,
I JUST CAN'T STOP!

And today I'm here to share it all with you guys!
Let me warn you - this post is VERY picture heavy,
so grab some kind of warm yummy beverage,
sit back and take a peek into my home!!!

The decorations start before you even get inside!

DIY PEACE Decorative Sign made in 2014.

Of course both side of my front door are decorated.

DIY Yarn Wreath made in 2013.

Christmas has taken over my living room!

As much as I love a real tree,

I went with a fake one this year.

because it's just easier with the two cats!

Just a few of my favorite ornaments, 

including a DIY Thumbprint Reindeer one from 2013.

I went a little pine cone crazy this year!

See - more pine cones!!!

My grandma hand painted the Nativity scene for me years ago.

More pine cones!!!

I love a decorated mantel with a nice fire.

Just makes it seem more Christmas-y to me!

My little collection of nutcrackers, DIY Ribbon Tree and House Rules.

Those three make ANY sort of decoration much cuter!

Found this sucker super cheap last year 

and couldn't wait to pull it out of storage this December!

Of course I have holiday dishes!

And other holiday touches around the kitchen.

HO, HO, HO towel was a gift from my mom.

And how cute is this Santa spoon rest?

The guest bath is festive with some lights...

A cute reindeer towel...

And can't forget the snow globes!!!

Head down the hall and the decorations continue.

A garland over the den french doors and ornaments over my bedroom door.

If the guest bath has some decoration,

you bet my bath has some too!

Oh hi there Santa!

Lastly, some festive flannel sheets to keep me warm and toasty at night!

And finally a panorama of the living room, where most of the decorating happens!

I hope you've enjoyed taking a look at my Christmas decor.

Wishing you all a fun, safe and happy holiday season!!!

Home Tour Link Up!

Last December, a fellow blogger came up with an idea I loved!

Andrea started a year-long Show and Tell Link Up series,

which happens two Tuesdays every single month!

I knew I wouldn't be participating in every single one,

or even every month for that matter,

but a few struck my fancy and I marked them in my planner!

I take pride in keeping a nice, clean home,

and am always thinking of ways to redo or redecorate something.

So you bet I was excited for today's Show and Tell:
HOME TOURS!!!

While I don't currently live in a house,

I have worked hard to make my apartment a "home"

and I'm excited to share it with you guys today!

Come on in!

I almost always have a some sort of seasonal decor outside my front door.

And if it's a wreath, you can bet I made it myself!

Two different views of the front door from inside.

While I do wish I had a more updated kitchen, as a renter I can't be too picky.

I do love how open it is though, because it makes entertaining so much easier!

I also love the open living/dining room with vaulted ceilings.

Confession - my living room already looks a tad bit different. 

I made some small changes, but I didn't have time to snap new pictures!

A few more shots of the dining and living room from different areas of my apartment.

Head down the hall and the guest bath is the first door to the left.

Having an extra bathroom is a must with any type of company!

The rest of the hallway from a few different directions.

Continue down the hall and the second door to the left is the den.

Also known as the guest room when I have family in town visiting.

And at the end of the hall you finally reach my bedroom!

And guess what? These pictures aren't 100% accurate either

because I've made a few small changes in here too.

I told you at the beginning of the post - I'm always redecorating!

More views of the bedroom.

And yet even MORE views of the bedroom!

I lost a walk in closet when I moved into this place,

but the wall of closets has proved to be pretty amazing too!

Lastly, the master bath that is connected to my bedroom.

I hope you've enjoyed the virtual tour of my little home in Los Angeles!
