Hello, people! Today I’m sharing our home all decked out for the holidays! If you follow me on Instagram (@love.lake.living) then you’ll recognize most of these pics. STOP what you’re doing and go follow me over there if you don’t already. 🙂

There’s really nothing that beats the twinkle of a Christmas tree, don’t you agree? It’s just so magical. (Read all out my deal-of-the-century on our 10.5′ prelit tree here.)



I kept our mantel super simple this year, with just some flocked (unlit) garland, a couple candlesticks and our stockings.


Our Pottery Barn stockings are my favorite. So simple, yet festive.



I decorated our foyer more than usual this year, and I love it! We had this 6′ unlit tree already, so I just strung some lights, made some pom pom ornaments (with a pom pom maker I bought on Amazon), and got some ribbon and bow from Walmart. It was really inexpensive but I love the way it turned out!

psst… that’s a scarf pretending to be a tree skirt. 😉


Bottle brush trees are my love language.

I bought this 4′ flocked tree from Walmart to use in the foyer, but decided that it worked perfectly in the girls’ playroom with their ballerina ornaments. We have a lot of trees this year, y’all. 😆


AND I got some Christmas sheets for our bed. Not only are they cute with little trucks-carrying-Christmas-trees, but they are so soft, comfy and make our room v. festive.


Even the porch got a little extra holiday cheer this year in the form of lighted garland on the columns and 2 real pine trees on either side of the front door. I feel very on top of things this year… with the exception of the shopping. Why can I never feel done with the shopping?!


All of these photos were shot with my iPhone 8+ and edited in Lightroom Mobile. Sometimes I break out the DSLR and sometimes I shoot with my phone and honestly? It’s hard to beat the ease and quality of iPhone pics!
So what about you? Are you done with shopping? Is your holiday decor super EXTRA this year? Tell me about it in the comments!
