Welcome to the 12 days of Christmas Tour. For the past three years, I have been joining the lovely ladies from Magnolia Lane and the Evolution of Style for their 12 days of Christmas Tour. If it weren’t for Jenny, Amy & and Christy, I might not have gotten my act together! Thanks ladies for including me again.
I am a working decorator so this time of year is crazy busy for me. I don’t join several other tours and show different parts of my home. What you see here is what you get (the whole shebang!). I was planning to show my entire home but had a computer glitch. Please stop by tomorrow to see the rest of my house.
Come on in!
My front door is always a challenge because of the door color. Most greens do not compliment my front door color. This year I grabbed a grapevine wreath from Michaels and added juniper, eucalyptus, eucalyptus berries, dried hydrangea pods and bay all from my yard. The bells came from Joann’s.
I try to change up my decor a little bit every year. This year I gathered osage oranges off the ground near my daughter’s home. The chartreusey green was my jumping off point for the decor in the rest of my house. Here is Beau posing in the entry. The beautiful garland was provided by our sponsor Lynch Creek Farms.
You can buy your own here. I can’t tell you how full and fragrant this beautiful garland is. I embellished it with moss, twigs, osage oranges, pine cones, eucalyptus and turkey feathers. All gathered from my yard or others. The burlap ribbon is from Papermart (a great source for wrapping and ribbon).
My vintage wicker cargo trunk is fitted with the same elements (moss balls and found objects that I have on it year round). You can see more of my entry in our Project Design How to Update Your Entry Post here.
I have done this mannequin in different settings for several years. You can see the first incarnation on one of the Berries and Branches tours here, 2015 here and last years version for Farmers Union Pourhouse here. I took this to the Pourhouse but couldn’t resist a shot in my entry.
And lastly here is my grape gathering bucket filled with juniper, more osage oranges, sugar pines and moss on the landing of the stairs. If you follow me on Instagram (if you don’t please do here.
Please stop by tomorrow to see the rest of my home decorated. Don’t miss the other two bloggers who are sharing their homes today.
Annie from Most Lovely Things, and Painted by Karla Payne. Thanks again Christy, Amy and Jenny for making this all happen. I know how much work it is. A big thank you to Lynch Creek Farms for providing the lovely greenery.
If you missed any of the tours that came before us have a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) and enjoy all of the tours.
I’ll right away grab your rss as I can not find your email subscription link or e-newsletter service. Do you have any? Please let me know in order that I could subscribe. Thanks.

I am always stunned by your visual talent. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Love your natural take on decorating. I have never heard of Osage oranges. I thought it was a town in Oklahoma? I love the casual and stunning visuals you always put together. Bravo!
Ah Cindy…you are amazing! I love the colors and of course, the shot of Beau. Very cool textures…so down to earth yet luxurious… yes, Rough Luxe!

AND WHEN DID YOU HAVE THE TIME TO DO THIS!!!!!!!!!
BEAUTIFUL FESTIVE FABULOUS DECOR!!!!!!!
Cindy,
I love your organic Christmas style. Your post last year inspired me to decorate our tree this year in much the same way (pine cones; rust, copper and gold Christmas bulbs; feathers, etc). It feels especially fitting for the summer-like temps we’ve been having here in SoCal. Not a drop of rain, with cool nights surrendering to 80-ish degree days! 🙂
xo,
Karen
I follow the Pour House on Instagram and have seen your touches in their holiday decor as well! Beautiful.
Beautiful as I knew it would be. The smell of juniper is divine, we have a juniper in the garden and I always enjoy cutting sprays of greenery from it for Christmas decorating. But the way, I love the colour of your front door. xx
Cindy I love the front door wreath with that gorgeous color, and your foyer and stairs look beautiful draped in greens! The garland is stunning, love how you added to it to make it your own! You are so talented, I always love seeing what you do!
Very pretty! Love that front door color!! Merry Christmas!
Cindy what can I say?
I’m in love with your style, all the natural touches are so elegant and cozy! I’m so glad you made time to fit this tour into your schedule, it just wouldn’t be the same without your beautiful home!!

Just gorgeous, Cindy. I love all the natural elements and the wreath is fabulous!!
In love with your beautiful natural arrangement in that fantastic grape gathering bucket to that wonderful mannequin and garland! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Sending applause your way for the lovely colors and textures you used, Cindy! We had Osage oranges in our yard two houses ago and they are so fun to decorate with. Thank you for joining us on the tour again and sharing your talents with our readers. I know it’s such a busy time of year for you, but we love seeing you work your magic. Merry Christmas!
