I have loved peeking into the homes of other bloggers this season as they've shown us their homes.
Everyone has their own unique way of spreading Christmas cheer!

I loved how Holly Mathis described to us why she went with non-breakable decorations this year.
She's got a toddler, who apparently loves to poke and prod at her tree.
Her Christmas tree is beautiful, but I love her English pine armoire the most.
I have three English pine chests that we've collected over the years, and I'm holding out for an armoire.
{just like hers if you're reading, Andy!}

I think Tessa has done an amazing job with her newly painted home.
I love the color combo that she picked, and the flag and the wreaths and the light fixtures.
 And, who doesn't love a white picket fence draped with a fresh garland?

Tara has two boys, and she succeeded in paying attention to every little detail.
She has the best collection of vintage trucks in her home, and all of them are decked out this year.
I'm not always good at paying attention to those details...the ones that my kids would appreciate.
Those are things that her boys will remember years from now when they look back.
I admire her for that!

Tricia is so gifted at capturing her home in pictures.
I'm digging the huge armoire with that huge basket full of poinsettias in it.
If there's a picture out there of an armoire with something on top of it, then it's been pinned by me.
Her home looks so warm and inviting to me...

Paige did it again with her vignette setting skillz.
This is one of my favorite spaces in her home.
I think, from the best that I have been able to stalk, that this vignette is in her kitchen.
I have seriously pinned this space every time she's changed it up for a season.
I loved this one so much that I am now on the look out for those bottle brush trees.
Aren't they awesome?
I know.

Dusty Lu is the queen of staging her home for the perfect pictures.
Except, I don't really think it's "staged."
I think she's one of those girls that pretty much has the ability to have her home look this good...
all the time.
Please know that if I attempted to have those mercury and green Christmas ornaments
 in an urn on my coffee table, they'd be used as weapons of mass destruction by my boys.
I'm not kidding.

Maria pretty much blows my mind.
I tried to put my tree in a basket.
It's been on my "to try" list for a couple of years now.
It didn't work.  At all.
I'm bound and determined to figure it out next year, but let's just say, mine didn't look like hers.
And, I nearly lost an eye trying to make it happen.
Her home is beautiful.
the end.

Jennifer from Dear Lillie had a give away that I entered and WON!!!!
See those awesome pillows in her picture above?
I won a couple of them, and I can't stinkin' wait to get them on my sofas.
I dare those boys to do anything but look at them from a distance.
{kidding..kind of.}

Melissa hung her stockings with twine and clothes pins.
I'm telling you, I get the greatest ideas from blogland.
I love her white pitchers filled with greenery from her yard.
I love that she fills her home with things that she loves and things that make her family feel at home.


I hope you've enjoyed seeing some of my favorite pins from this season.
Have you blown up pinterest with them like I have?
