Welcome to my 2024 Christmas Home Tour. This year, we are doing things differently, so my decorating is a little less than usual. My Daughter, Son-in-law, Son, and I are all going to Maui on the 8th of December. This fun family trip is something we have been planning for a while, so I am super excited. I still want to have a fun Christmas when we get back, so I put up the basics. Grab something to drink and let me show you around.
Today, I am joining a great group of ladies who are sharing their home tours hosted by Cindy @ CountyRoad407.
When you enter our home you walk right into the living and dining area. This two-story wall opposite the seating area is where I added a small console to serve as our entry. A few tinsel trees and a reindeer is about all the chest needs. I replaced the painting I usually have with my horse painting. It’s my favorite.
The large ficus tree is usually in the front window, but I had to move it here to make room for the Christmas Tree. I like how it looks in this space too.
As you can see, I used my small 7ft. pencil tree this year. It is really tiny, but it still says Christmas to me.
I went a little over the top with ornaments. Since the tree is small I thought it needed tons of glitz.
Of course, I always include my favorite Doves. These are to remind us of our loved ones spending Christmas in Heaven.
The room’s colors are neutral, mostly beige, cream, and camel.
A simple Santa and reindeer for the coffee table, and just a few pillows for the sofa.
The corner end table holds my fun sock reindeer.
The other end of the room is the dining area. My Carolers took center stage on the table.
Since we all spend a lot of time in the kitchen, it got a bit of Christmas next.
This area by the stove gets a few of my favorite things each year.
A tray filled with my little red truck and fun Santa are perfect for the island.
and the laundry room needed some Christmas Cheer too.
Thanks so much for stopping by, I love having company. Now be sure to check out all the other ladies on the tour. I am positive each home will inspire you.

Marty,
It was a lovely tour as always. Have a blessed Christmas.
Miss Marty I am in LOVE with your tree this year. The little white birds are so pretty. The tour carolers in your table centerpiece are quite charming too. Truly an inspiring tour!
Marty, what a beautiful Christmas home tour, so inspiring and that horse picture in your dining room area is amazing! Happy Holidays!
Your home is so beautifully decorated for Christmas. You did such a beautiful job with your tree.
Every thing is so inspiring.
Is your kitchen Stove a Samsung ? If so, how do you clean the top, Have you had any problems with the glass scratching ?
Marty, I love your horse picture too. Your teee is a lovely combination of neutral and looks perfect in your front window. Your sweet little animals reflect the Christmas spirit. Merry Christmas and enjoy your lovely home.
I think your smaller tree is elegant and perfect in your window. We sometimes put up a smaller tree and on a table. The joy of that is picking the favorite ornaments to use. Mixiing life up is part of living. Happy Holidays, Sandi
Marty, I have a smaller tree also and yours is lovely. Your reindeer are so cute and I love that you decorated your laundry room–pinned! Wishing you a joyous Christmas season, Cecilia @ My Thrift Store Addiction
So beautiful and elegant, Marty. Love the tree and the doves. Have a wonderful trip this month! Happy Christmas!!
Beautiful combination of Christmas throughout the house. So glad you still have the same washer dryer set. It’s such a big deal and expense to replace them. One of my friends bought an Amana that was almost the same.
But – I am so excited about your trip to Maui ! Have a great time with your family.
iYour home looks lovely Marty. I love the doves, what a great touch! Have a wonderful time in Hawaii & Merry Christmas. XO- MaryJo
Your home looks lovely in it’s Christmas finery!
Lovely Marty, and Merry Christmas! The trip sounds wonderful! ! I sure miss being on the tour with everyone:-)
Merry Christmas, Marty. I love all of your Christmas decorations. The little carolers on the dining room table are so sweet. May the season be happy and healthy.
I love how you’re going on a fantabulous trip yet “put up the basics”! That seems more than the basics. It’s all so beautiful. Each space has so much to look at and I love every single table centerpiece. Thank you so much for sharing it with us and joining us. Have a great trip! I guess you’ll be doing the hula dance while we wish for snow! 😉 pinned
Hi Marty! What a beautiful home you have! And decorated with such love for Christmas! I love the little carolers and the adorable sock reindeer. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season!
Your home looks fabulous with your classic Christmas decor. It will be so welcoming when you return home from your trip! Happy Christmas Marty!
What a beautiful tour! Love those sweater deer with the cute fur muffs around their necks. You have a great collection of Christmas figures to spread throughout. Enjoy your family trip; what a special idea! Merry Christmas:)
Marty, I found your sock reindeer absolutely enchanting!! Did you make them? I love the subtle touches of Christmas you have sprinkled throughout the living room and into the kitchen and laundry areas. Our last w/d were both Kenmore and we had the set for almost 30 years. I’m glad to see that yours are still washing! 🙂 Enjoy your trip to Maui!!! I went there w/ my grandmother, my mom (her daughter) back in 1974 just before we moved back to the Mainland USA from Oahu where we had been living for four years. Maui was so green back then. We stayed near the Pioneer Inn, which sadly burnt down last summer 2023. If you get the chance, enjoy a small cruise out to look for oceanlife in a glass bottom boat. I think you’d all enjoy it!
Merry hugs to you and yours this Christmas season,
Barb 🙂
Mart, your home looks so pretty for the holiday season. I love your tree’s natural feel and brown and white decor. Wising you and your family a very Merry Christmas.

Marty, I love the colors on your Christmas tree. They work so beautifully with your home decor. Also, I adore how you decorated your laundry room,too! Now I need to go add Christmas decor to mine, too! 🙂
Marty, that little pencil tree is so adorable with the neutral ornaments! I love the doves and the reminder of loved ones…I need to find a few for my tree! Your sweet carolers are so charming on your table, and it feels so warm and welcoming! I’ll bet the kitchen smells like cookies!! Wishing you a JOY filled season as you spend it with friends and family!
Everything looks perfectly styled for the holidays! The laundry room is so cute and I always love your kitchen. I hope you have a very merry Christmas!
