This year, I took inspiration from homes and gnomes. You’ll see little houses scattered throughout my house and a few fun gnomes too.

This is my all time favorite mantel and I’ll be offering the chalkboard art as a free printable soon. The children inside these tiny houses are nestled all snug in their beds as they anxiously await Santa’s arrival.

I turned my chalkboard art into a Free Christmas Chalkboard Printable HERE.

    1. I love the chalkboard over mantel where can I get it? I love it too!!!
      Who wouldnt!!! Its all beautiful thanks for sharing

  1. Hi Kelly –
    Your house looks so colorful and festive. It is fun peeking around each photo seeing all the new fixtures and furnishings you have added to your house since I was last there. I love chalkboards.. so the the mantel is my favorite…so creative. Now that you are all decorated you get to relax, shop and bake cookies. 🙂 XO

  2. Your house looks great! I love everything you do. You have so many awesome pieces, but you have no clutter! I like the bowl of old Chridtmas lights. Of course, I love seeing Sushi!

  3. Oh, that beautiful, beautiful white tree with the cardinals! Stunning. So very stunning in its simplicity. I immediately went to Target.com and ordered 4 sets for my own little white tree in my dining area. Cardinals mean so much to us and this is just perfect. Thank you for the inspiration! 🙂

  4. It was wonderful touring your home i smiled all the way through it, warm and wonderful, thank you so much for such a great time.

  5. I’ve been reading your blog for a while and love your home!
    Hands down my favorite thing is the white tree with red cardinals. Love!
    Thanks for sharing!

    1. My daughter put those cardinals all over the tree a few years ago when it was in our dining room and I thought it looked so sweet I had to bring it back! Merry Christmas Ella!

  6. Love the way you went with this simple more scandinavian inspired decor? Love the colors. Thanks so much for sharing. I enjoy seeing what you do each year.

  7. Love it all! You are lucky to find the Rae Dunn plates. We donot see many at our local stores! I found only 2 small gnomes plates and a couple of glasses. I just love your style!!

  8. Can we just pause a moment and talk about your dog. I LOVE Sushi. Okay, now let’s discuss your AMAZING mantel. Oh my goodness, I’m so in love. Your drawing is amazing. Love the sweet houses and I didn’t even know there was such a thing as stocking stretchers. LOVE your tree and those snowflakes. So many lovely things. Too many to mention. Thank you for a lovely tour. xx

  9. I just found your blog and I think we have very similar taste! Quick question…how do you light your little houses on the mantle?

    1. Thanks so much Anna Marie! They came with little lights in them already but you could always use battery operated tea lights if yours don’t have lights already.

  10. Your home is so beautiful! I am in love with the chalkboard art! I can’t wait until you do the printable!
    Merry Christmas!

  11. I love everything. I’ve got a gnome collecting daughter, she would love yours. Myself, I love those Christmas tree ornaments, so do tell did you make them? I need a close up so I can copy yours.

  12. Love the mantle with the houses but I absolutely LOVE the Picture of Santa and his reindeer!!! Where did you get it ?? Would love to have one!!! Please please please share !!

  13. My girls love the cookie jar from Michaels. We got one! What did you fill the bowl with? Looks like sugar 🙂

    I’ve gotten so many great idea’s from your site – it’s my go to for every season! Thank you!

      1. Thank you! We love how it turned out and it looks great on our kitchen countertop! Looking forward to your next post. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!

  14. I love all of your unique ideas for Christmas decor. Where did you find the antique snow shovel with the scene painted on it and where did you find the blackboard on your fireplace with the Christmas scene?

  15. Hi! I love the chalkboard art on your mantle. I see that it is available for purchase, but I am looking for a larger canvas size. Do you make these? Thank you!
