2024 Thrifty Decor Chick Christmas home decor tour!
Is it me or did Christmas arrive a month earlier than usual? 😂 Anyone else feel like this season has FLOWN by?
It must be because Thanksgiving was later this year? Whatever the reason, I'm way behind this year. I wanted to have this tour up weeks ago...but here we are!
I hope you enjoy this Christmas home tour and it inspires you! I plan to put a video tour together, I'll update this when I get that up.
The only space I didn't include this year is our basement family room and bar, but you can check out the basement tour from last year. I don't change up the holiday decor down there too much so it looks almost exactly this same this year. ;)
Bedroom
Let's start in our bedroom! This room got a big makeover early this year when I installed some vertical tongue and groove molding to brighten up the space. I'm so pleased with how it came together.
I like to add a few Christmas touches in our room every year, like our flocked, snowy tree:

This year I did all silver and white ornaments on that tree, but didn't hang them everywhere. I kind of cascaded them around the tree, in a band of ornaments.
It's just a different look and I really like how it turned out!
I draped some of my favorite Norfolk greenery on our standing mirror:
It needed a little something, so I made my own bell garland with some green floral wire and these tiny brass bells:
I tucked it into the garland and finished this off with a green velvet bow at the top:
Kitchen
The kitchen is always so fun to decorate! When I made these sturdy floating shelves a few years ago, I knew I would love decorating them for the holidays:
Over the years I've inadvertently started a collection of little Christmas salt and pepper shakers and other cute tiny decor:
I now have four or five sets of Christmas shakers, they are so fun!
This platter/cutting board wall I built on the side of our fridge has been such a great way to store and display our bigger items in the kitchen:
Figuring out ways to add both form and function in the kitchen has always been fun for me!
I also use these metal rails (from IKEA) on the ends of our cabinets:
And above our stovetop:
The hooks make it easy to add some Christmas touches around the kitchen.
I love using trays for everyday items, especially during the holidays. The kitchen is the perfect spot for them:
I feel like they make everything less cluttered, but are also super useful. I always add a few holiday touches to the long tray that stays on our countertop all year:
I adore lighting a candle in here at night and turning down the lights. There's something about a soft and glowy kitchen!:
I have to share my friend's amazing cookie talent! I would use these as decor if I could:
She delivers these to us every year and yes, they taste as good as they look!
Entryway
A couple of weeks ago I shared the Santa-inspired decor I used in our foyer this year:
It's one of my favorite holiday vignettes I've put together!
It makes me smile when I walk by every day:
In the doorway leading to our main living area, I hung a couple of garlands from the top and added some bells and berries:
Family Room
Usually the Christmas tree is the star of our family room, but this year the mantel stole the show!:
I went with a different look this year, and used Command hooks to drape the greenery and give it a flowy look:
I always add a bunch of berries and bells to add more volume and texture to the garland. This year the addition of this brass Merry Christmas garland was the perfect finishing touch!
Our family room has super high ceilings, but the holiday decor always makes it feel so cozy!:
I don't usually decorate the my DIY built ins on either side of the fireplace, but these paper trees were perfect for to top of them this year!:
I shared where I got those trees and a few other new finds earlier in the season. I've seen them at Walmart, Hobby Lobby and Target this year. They are so fun!
Our tree is so beautiful, and is by far the most realistic fake Christmas tree I've ever seen. I adore it!
I found so many beautiful vintage finds this year, and this carved Santa figurine was one of my favorites:
Who knows if it's actually vintage, but I fell in love with it. :)
Dining Room
I always struggle with table centerpieces, especially during the holidays. I don't want it to be in the way, but want something pretty.
I hit the sweet spot with both this year! I laid down these lighted greenery picks, then tucked in some of the acorn stems I used from my fall mantel and a few berry picks for some color:
I added some burgundy taper candles from the craft store and it finished this off perfectly!
It's simple and the candlelight is beautiful, but we can still sit at the table and see across to each other:
The pretty ceramic village I found at Costco last year looks great on our dining buffet:
The little houses light up but I didn't want to mess with replacing the batteries, so I just draped some battery-operated fairy lights throughout the village.
Staircase
A few years ago I started adding the garland to the bottom of our stair railing instead of at the top, and it's quite beautiful!
Before I could never get the draping just right, and hanging them from the handrail made me nervous for safety reasons. (I've developed this anxiety about people falling down stairs...I'm weird.)
It's so much easier to hang them this way too!
I've had a plan to add molding to this staircase wall forever. Until then I hung a trio of Christmas canvases in gold frames:
I shared how I made these adorable tiny wreaths a few weeks ago. I loved adding them around the house!:
Office
Over the past few months I've been working on some DIY updates in my office. I LOVE how it's turning out!
The grasscloth wallpaper is perfect with the dark green built ins and molding on the walls. I had fun adding some subtle holiday touches in here:
I did end up adding some lights to those DIY wreaths! They are on a timer and turn on in the evenings:
A skinny tree fit perfectly into the corner by my huge upholstered bulletin board:
Whew!! I think that's it!
I hope as the year winds down, you get to spend to relax and enjoy the season with the people that mean the most to you.
If you are missing someone this season, I wish you strength and peace. I didn't mention it on the blog, but we lost one of my sisters earlier this year. This will be the first Christmas without her and it's hitting hard.
Take care of yourselves! Merry Christmas to you all!
