Photos are one thing, but there’s nothing like a video to share our home. We are excited to share a short walk-through of our first floor all decked out for Christmas. Not only can you see all the decorations, but you can hopefully better understand the flow.
Enjoy the video below and to see photos of our home for Christmas, check out this post.
You can find more photos of our home at Christmas and all of the sources here.

Semihandmade
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.

Loloi
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.

STUGA
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

looking for inspiration?
Last week, Chris and I had the incredible opportunity to travel to London for work. We were invited by Williams Sonoma and William Morris and Co to preview their newest collaboration and the inspiration behind it. It was my first time in London and although it was a quick trip, they brought us all over […]

Gorgeous home, incredible vision, ridiculous amount of work, fantastic style. This Christmas Carol was meant for you, “God rest ye merry gentle ones whom nothing did dismay…” Have a wonderful Christmas holiday.
❤️❤️❤️
The fireplace is on! Yay!
Really beautiful Christmas Home tour! Could you source your living room Christmas Tree? Thank you and Merry Christmas!
It’s from Balsam Hill
the fireplace works!
Just stunning. How beautiful it looks with the snowy backdrop outside. Enjoy the holidays this year, much more settled AND with your new bathroom!!!
It looks so festive and magical! Love all the small, but simple details! Thanks for sharing, I always leave inspired!
Beautiful home and I also like the music. I really do miss the wide aspect ratio of your videos, as you used to do them, even with Chris Cooks. I also miss Chris talking during his videos too. That aside, I hope you enjoy a very Merry Christmas and New Year after all this work in 2020.
Beautiful home and holiday decor. I’m not sure if its possible, but it feels like the turning on the video is just a fraction too fast, and I was wondering if there was a possibility to slow them down just slightly? Thank you!
You can adjust the speed of the video. Click the gear icon on the bottom right. You can speed up or slow down. If you think it’s only slightly too fast, you can watch it at .75 normal speed. I watched it at normal speed and then at .5 speed to catch the details.
It’s so lovely- I bet it must feel amazing to get to enjoy Christmas fully in your home this year!
Beautiful! I loved the background music – at times it sounded like “Welcome Christmas” (from The Grinch :))
Can you tell me the artist who is playing it so I can add it to my Christmas playlist? Or is it Preston?
Wondering if you can mention the name of the music played on the video. Your home is gorgeous.
