Amanda of Aunt Peaches knows Christmas trees. Over the years, she’s decked more than 300 trees for herself and clients.

She says she likes to add “frosting” to her trees – “the things that stick out and add dimension to a tree so it’s not a big boring triangle”.

Christmas Home Tour - love this colorful tree and every ornament is a DIY

This tree is extra special because every single thing on it is handmade from the pom-pom branches to the yarn tassels to the cute embroidered houses.

Not even the chandelier is safe from a little bit of Christmas! Vintage ornaments sparkle and shine among the crystals.

Color everywhere! When your house is as colorful as this, you decorate for Christmas to match! Pattered rugs, a bold blue floral chair and colorful art are the perfect backdrop for an explosion of Christmas color!

Christmas Home Tour - WOW - this home is so whimsical and colorful

Forget pink flamingos on the lawn! This flamingo tree is a vision in pink and is surrounded by hand painted gift bags that would be perfect framed once the gifts are opened.

Disco balls pair perfectly with pink flamingos.

Pink honeycomb bells are layered over silver tinsel garland and colorful lights to mark the transition from one room to another.

Can you believe this tree skirt is an actual skirt from her closet and the ornaments are made from plastic straws combined with shine from copper jello molds.

She added her artistic touch to her garage doors.

    I’ve been familiar with Aunt Peaches’ gobsmacking vintage Christmas Wreaths, but THIS is a surprise. I think it’s so festive, whimsical and cheerful! I am a lover of the eclectic style of decorating, but as much fun as Aunt Peaches decorations are, I could not choose this in our home for Christmas. Thanks for sharing, I had a delightful time!

    I think you could spend an hour or two, or three, just studying each tree and each vignette. This is my kind of decorator…not only willing to use color but also to use it in her own house!

    Just crazy beautiful. I think it’s being shut in for so long or the isolation everyone feels – but if I do not stop decorating every square inch of my house, garage, windows, lamp posts, doors, and she-shed, the neighbors are threatening intervention.

    This is so funny. I kept thinking that this is what I would imagine Amanda Evanston’s house to look like at Christmas. Then as I scrolled down and saw the garage doors and her precious scruffy doggie and I realized that Amanda is Aunt Peaches! I had never visited her blog. I know her through IG and InsidersStudio. Thanks for showing me her awesome house and introducing me to Aunt Peaches!
