It’s time for another Deck the Halls Holiday Housewalk! I am so honored to be here for a second year in a row among such amazingly talented bloggers. I love getting to see everyone’s homes decked out for the holidays…real homes!
To see all 30 houses from the beginning be sure to start at our lovely hostesses house, Jennifer Rizzo, and take a stroll through these amazing homes!
Today is Day Four of the housewalk, if you head over to Jen’s you can see all of today’s homes….
and if you are coming over from the super talented Page Knudsen welcome to At The Picket Fence!
If you are a regular reader of ours than you’ll know that normally you get two homes in one post when it comes to our home tours but this year Vanessa and I each have our own special day! Be sure to visit Vanessa’s Holiday Housewalk Tour from yesterday!
I’m so excited to have you in my home today! We’ve been in our new Georgia home five months and we are love being back down South, where we greet you with a “Hey Y’all!” when you stop by for a visit!
Come on in and take a stroll with me…I might even have a new room to reveal to you before the tour is over! Now normally I’m pretty chatty and would follow you around talking your ear off, but today I’m going to just let you take a walk through my home with my lips sealed shut. Okay so almost sealed shut…grin.
//FOYER//
//BREAKFAST ROOM//
I inherited this beautiful brass deer this year from my Mother. It was in our childhood home for years and I was so excited for it to have a place of honor in my holiday home.
//FAMILY ROOM//
Here’s a full shot of my flocked Christmas tree, in it’s Mirrored Tree Stand. It was such an easy DIY project and I’m in love with it!
//GUEST BATH//
//LIVING ROOM//
I’m so excited to show you my living room! Would you believe it was empty just a few short weeks ago!? I just love this room and find myself sitting here relaxing, reading and working. It’s so peaceful.
I’ll be sharing more about that gorgeous tree from Balsam Hill on Saturday, it’s amazing and a dream come true tree for me!
//DINING ROOM/
//BEDROOM//
We’ll wrap up the tour in my favorite spot in the house. My reading chair in my master bedroom where I’m reading one of my favorite author’s…there’s something fun about a good Christmas book…it’s pure bliss! 😉
Thank you for stopping by to see me! I hope you gathered up some fresh new ideas for decorating for Christmas.
From our home to yours we wish you a very Merry Christmas and may your holidays be filled with love and joy!
Up next on the housewalk is a special treat… Shhhh….it’s a surprise house!! Any guesses who it might be?!

Welcome back to the South! And to Georgia!!!
{We live in Athens!}
I’m digging that “Hey Y’all” gold print!!! Where’d you get yours?
Merriest Christmas!
Hi Tara! How fun, I didn’t realize you lived in Athens! I ADORE my print. I got it from Stephanie of Southern Sayings Wall Art. One of her prints was even featured in this year’s December Souther Living! Here’s the link:

Looks wonderful Heather! Love the pops of blue.
ummm? So why were you stressing out? Your home is gorgeous Heather. I love how quickly you’ve been able to make your new house your new home! Love the bright blue and gold…You are amazing! xo
Beautiful, Heather … the blue looks gorgeous mixed with the gold and other pops of color! Love your dining room centerpiece, too! Happy Holidays!
[…] Today we get the treat of seeing Heather’s house at At the Picket Fence […]
Your home looks beautiful, Heather! I love how colorful it is; the blues especially are very jewel tone. Five months there? I’m glad you were able to find your Christmas stuff! I remember when we moved I had to organize boxes as I searched, and I’m sure I didn’t find everything that first year in our new place.
I’m with Paige! The Hey Ya’ll and the mirrored table are my absolute favorites!!!!
Heather – you knocked it out of the park! The blue and gold is gorgeous! Well done my friend, love it all!
Seriously awesome!!!! Your pics came out gorgeous and I’m loving all the bright pops of color 🙂
LOVE LOVE LOVE all the blue and gold! And your family… gorgeous! But I gotta know where you got your living room chairs, I’m looking for something like that for my family room. Just need a little conversation area in front of the fireplace. Something like that would be awesome. I’ve seen some, but they aren’t big enough. Those look big and comfy… like you’d be comfy sitting, sipping and talking. Merry Christmas Sweetie!! God Bless!
Hey Vicki! I got them off over Overstock.com of all places! I think they still have them and they were very reasonably priced. I like that they are low but not too low, if that makes sense and they are very comfortable! Thank you for your sweet words about my family and home. blessings to you! Heather
Your home looks AMAZING! I love all of the colors and the gold and blue! Thank you so much for being a part of the home tour! I am so blessed!
Heather, I just love the pops of blue all around your home! I would love trying something like that but my family would have a fit! They’re very stuck on traditional and the way we’ve always done it. Sounds like church, doesn’t it? Anyway, beautiful home tour!
I love all the blue and gold, it is gorgeous.
WOW! This is a winter wonderland! Such gorgeous images!!! xo Kristin
It is just gorgeous, I’m loving the pops of blue simply beautiful my friend!

Heather, I’m late getting to your open house, too, but what a fun and festive mood you’ve set! I have some vintage cobalt ornaments I love to decorate with, and now I’m wishing I’d pulled them out this year… It’s wonderful seeing you enjoy your first Christmas in your new house — and seeing your personality shine through in your decor. Welcome back to the South!
Thank you so much Susan! I so appreciate that you came by to take the tour with me! So glad to be back down south. All the best this Christmas to you and yours! Heather
