Christmas Home Tour 2017 - Blue, Ivory, and Green Christmas Welcome! Today I'm sharing all the decorations from our first Christmas at our Highland, Utah home. In our Christmas Home Tour 2017 - A Blue, Ivory, and Green Christmas, we share all the details below. We have a lot of blue in our decor so I used varying shades of blue, ivory, and green in my decor. All the sources I am able to link will be at the bottom of the post. EntryWay I filled a metal container with faux greens and flowers and added two wreaths to the front door. We added a painted pine cone pick and blueberry picks to the wreaths, then added light blue ribbon tied in a bow. I hung the wreaths with silver command strip hooks. Once you attach the hooks, let them sit for about twenty minutes before you hang the wreath. 22" Deluxe Cedar Wreath Green WASHED CEDAR WREATH WITH CONE & BERRY, 24", PE, SAGE BLUEBERRY PICK, 17", BLUE The Living Room

It's hard to believe that Christmas is almost here! My talented friends and I have been busy decking out our homes for the holidays, sharing recipes, and creating beautiful tablescapes to host our friends and family. We all love entertaining and hosting parties so we've put together another blog post for our "Holiday Hosting at Home" series. Today we are sharing what we've been doing over the past few weeks including some creative ideas for Christmas decor and tables. I also share a lasagna recipe that is a family favorite and great any time of the year.
Here is what my friends have been sharing of their Christmas Table Settings and Christmas home decor for entertaining in your home for the season.

Christmas Home Tour 2018
Living Room
Today I'm sharing the parts of my home that I decorated for Christmas in the Highland home. Christmas is a special time of year and the tree is my favorite thing. I've always enjoyed decorating for the holidays and I love the warmth it creates in my home. At night when the tree is all lit up, there's a special feeling that is created. Every year I look forward to decorating the house and creating memories with my family.
In the living room, I decorated my 10' flocked long needle pine tree and used different shades of blue, silver, and ivory ornaments to match the other furnishings in the room. The mantle is a garland filled with blueberry picks, white hydrangeas and other greenery. It's so pretty at night when all the christmas lights are on!
For the stair railing, I used a green garland on the stair rail and then wired ribbon into the garland. I added the same blueberry picks used in the tree and mantle.
KitchenMy Christmas Trees from 2017 and 2018
I have always loved Christmas trees! When I was in my early twenties, I went to the most amazing Christmas party in Seattle on Queen Anne Hill where the houses are old and so charming. The lady whose home it was at had a Christmas tree in each room of her house. Each tree was different and matched the colors and decor of the room. She had used live trees in different shapes and sizes but each was unique and beautifully decorated. I remember thinking I wanted to do that someday when I had a home of my own. I have collected trees and ornaments over the years, but I'm still far away from having a tree in every room. Keep scrolling to see tips on decorating a Christmas tree! Every year I reuse the same decorations and ornaments but I'll add in a new color or use the ornaments on my other tree. I'm showing last years trees and this years so you can see how I changed it up. I bought a few new ornaments and decorations for this year, but I mainly reused what I already had. You
Red, White, and Blue Patriotic Tablescape
Create a red, white, and blue patriotic tablescape is perfect inspiration for Fourth of July, Memorial Day, or Flag Day festivities. Red, White, and Blue Patriotic Tablescape
I love the Fourth of July! Celebrating this holiday has always been so fun and meaningful for me and my family. I also get an excuse to create a Red, White, and Blue Patriotic Tablescape and use my dishes in different ways!
I've traveled the world playing and coaching soccer, and whenever I have been in other countries, I almost always choke up when our national anthem is played. I have been able to observe how other people in various countries sing their national anthem at the top of their lungs with as much pride for their country as I have for mine. It’s such a beautiful thing!
I’m that person who will always sing it when it’s appropriate and my kids look at me weird and probably wish
