The Nester - Christmas Tour of Homes


I'm a little late!
I'm the decorator at my house...so when I came home from college on Monday I started putting the Christmas decorations out! I finally finished last night...enjoy the tour!!!


Our Christmas tree! We always get a real tree! We don't do a themed Christmas tree - we just put a ton of ornaments on it! This year we decided to do white lights instead of color!
A lot of our decorations are ones that I made in Elementary School - yes my mom still has them. LOL. I made this Santa Claus and Christmas tree set out of wood. My art teacher was so creative! I can't wait to do stuff like this with my future students!
Our coffee table - yesterday I went an bought some red and green ornaments to put in a glass vase. I think it looks so pretty! I also bought those red glass presents too! (I got them at Hobby Lobby). Here's a closer look!
This is on our end table in our living room - it's a nativity scene that I made as well!A little table by our Christmas tree - I LOVE Christmas plates!
Our mantle - I bought the "Christmas" sign yesterday too at Hobby Lobby!
Our tree and mantle looking down from the balcony!!!

Thank you for stopping by...hope you enjoyed the tour!
Merry Christmas!!! :)

Your Christmas tree is just beautiful! I like the white lights.

I would really like to know how to make the nativity set. It is special.

Your family is blessed to have you home and decorating!
