The time has come for my favorite tour of the year! Welcome to our 2022 Holiday Home…
I look forward to this shoot the most each year, and capturing these sweet memories for our family. This year feels extra sentimental because it’s our last Christmas as a family of three.
With how busy our year has been, I haven’t had the time to pull out my camera and take family photos as nearly as much as I’d like. This is one shoot I’d never miss, though!
In previous years I’d take weeks to decorate, end up with 100+ photos and split the tour into 2-3 blog posts. This year, time is a luxury so I kept things relatively simple, and fit everything into one tour.
Our tree is the crown jewel of our home during the holidays. Last year’s theme was romantic berry & bronze, and I used a lot of the same ornaments, but also incorporated blue and green (inspired by baby boy on the way).
I had fun making DIY velvet ornaments, DIY matte powdered ornaments, and DIY aged iron ornaments (tutorial for the iron ornaments coming soon!) Can you spot them all?
I also spend weeks searching for the perfect gift wrap and ribbon to coordinate with our tree. You can find links to everything I used right here.
This tree is the most colorful I’ve ever done, and it makes me happy! Do you prefer colors or a more monochromatic look?
I’ve started a tradition of taking a few different Christmas shots of Esmé from the same angle each year. So sweet to watch her grow over the years…
A few more shots of the living room…
Let’s walk a few more steps over to the dining room…
The light swags are such a fun and festive touch, don’t you think? I shared how I made them last year in this Instagram reel.
Next to the dining room, we have the kitchen.
I tend to switch out the rug with the seasons, but I couldn’t part with this Georgie rug. The colors were made for this kitchen!
The norfolk garland over the window sold out weeks ago, but the fir branches are still available! They’re beautiful and very realistic.
One more from a Christmas cookie baking shoot:
I don’t show this view of our back patio doors very often, but I love the way they look with wreaths and a festive door mat.
Last stop: our bedroom!
If you’ve been around for a few years, you’ll notice nothing has changed in here 😉 I just love this room the way it is and have no plans to mess with it!
We’re finishing up the Hacienda guest bedroom in the next couple weeks, so I’ll have fresh bedroom content to share very soon.
I didn’t get around to the bathrooms, closet or playroom decorating this year, but you can see how I decorated those in last year’s tour:
I hope you enjoyed the tour and found some inspiration for your own holiday decorating! Stay tuned for a video tour on my Instagram tomorrow, and one more DIY ornament tutorial coming on Friday 🎄

Beautiful! I always inspire my Christmas decor based on yours!
How do you hang the wreaths on your glass doors?
Jenna Sue says
Hi! Those are hung with a small picture nail into the wood.
Lindsay says
Would please share the color of your living room drapes?
Jenna Sue says
Hi, they’re the color Natural.
Michele says
Perfection, each room! Do you happen to have a source for the fireplace surround/mantle, or was it original to the home?
Jenna Sue says
Thanks Michele! The mantel was secondhand.
Nicole says
Do you have any faux trees you’d recommend? Love your home tour! Makes me want to get decorating 😀

Its all so gorgeous! Your home feels so festive without clutter. Where is the red and white striped rug that you are standing on in the family photo?
Jenna Sue says
Thank you Sarah! It was from Wayfair a while back but unfortunately discontinued.

Monica Rose says
Absolutely beautiful!
Diane says
I most appreciate the simplicity of your holiday decor & the DIY-affordabilty factor.

Love, love, love everything you do. Timeless and understated and calming … you are the queen of “less is more”. Too many other bloggers (IMO) overdo their decor and to me it makes me anxious just to look at it!
Merry Christmas to your beautiful little (growing) family!!!
Jenna Sue says
I appreciate that, thank you and Merry Christmas as well!
Erin Prohaska says
Gorgeous, as always! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family! ❤️
Jenna Sue says
Thank you Erin and Merry Christmas to you as well!
Terry says
Such a beautiful home! I love your tree, and I want to try making the ornaments, so pretty.
Your family is adorable, congratulations on baby boy!
Merry Christmas!
Jenna Sue says
Thank you Terry! Merry Christmas to you too ❤️

Hi Jenna,
Could you possibly tell me what type of hardwood flooring you have used throughout the house? It’s beautiful! I love the light hardwood and would like to add something like that to my house. Thanks!!
