My favorite time of year to decorate our home is Christmas.. that is kind of a dumb thing to say on here because I feel like you guys already know that. There is something about the tree, garland, ornaments, & of course the lights, that gets me right away. Today I wanted to share with you the lights. I’m not a pro photographer by any means so it’s always hard for me to share with you what our house looks like in the daytime & even harder to share how magical it looks at night. BUT, today I am joining some of my favorite blog friends in showing our homes twinkling at night. If you are visiting from Liz from Love Grows Wild [she is one of my favorite Liz’s of all time] thank you so much for stopping by! Here is a few night shots of our farm that I have taken so far this Christmas season…
Since we just moved to the farm 7 months ago & the house is a complete construction site, we were able to [or we were just too lazy to decorate our fixerupper] Either way we didn’t go all out & it ended up being one of my favorite years. The simple lights on the outside, the simple naked trees inside, & decorating a new place has been fun. It seems like nightly while I’m outside letting the dogs out to go potty, I find myself taking photos of the porch lights with the snow. It’s become a nightly ritual & if you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you already know that. I’m thankful you guys haven’t got sick of me yet… or at least don’t tell me. Thank you!
The dining room is probably the only room in our ENTIRE house that is close to being “finished” in our fixer upper 1800’s farmhouse, so it was the only room that really got totally decked out for Christmas & it was also my favorite room this year. At night the chandeliers glow so warmly drawing you into the space. I love these chandeliers & part of me wonders if I chose them solely on the holiday season that was among us. BUT I would have to say, my favorite photo I took inside our home so far this holiday season at night is our entryway area…
This entryway of ours is [was] my favorite Christmas decor this year until we had to take it down this week to re-do those floors [check my instagram out to see our progress!] & I like it even more at night in the glow of the lamps. BUT I would have to say that our porch is my all time favorite this year during the holidays…
I hope you guys liked that little tour of parts of our farmhouse all shiny and bright at night. It’s kind of fun sharing the house at night since it’s always during the day that I document our home. Next on the tour is Laura from Turquoise Home [here] Head on over to see what her home looks like this holiday season at night! Thank you guys so much for stopping by the blog today & for following me over on Facebook & Instagram. Be sure to visit my other blog friends homes this season as well…
