Merry Christmas from Southeast MO! I’m Sandy and I’d like to welcome you to our Craftsman-style home….decked out for the holidays.
Twelve Days of Christmas Tour
So come on in and rejoice in this holiday season!
Candlelight and whimsy showcase the formal dining room.
The white china on chargers fare well with my mother’s crystal and silverware.
The Nativity set belonged to my husband’s grandmother and is a staple in our home during the holiday season.
Select pieces of Fitz and Floyd add a festive touch to the Master along with a Christmas pillow and throw.

I like to add a few seasonal touches to the bathrooms.
Traditional red and green take center stage in the main part of the house.

Glass containers display a colorful array of candy while gingerbread decor fills a corner on the kitchen counter.
A neutral, natural palette can be found downstairs. This seemed to mesh well with the gold tones in the room.

Attending Children’s Mass on Christmas Eve is a family tradition. Children are encouraged to bring gifts for Baby Jesus, which are then donated to Birthright. The evening culminates with a meal at our home followed by opening presents from Mimi and Papa.
Tomorrow on the “Twelve Days of Christmas” tour Keli Rudge will be welcoming us into her Northern VA home. Keli’s home is the perfect blend of classic pieces and modern decor. You can definitely feel the warmth of the season and the Christmas Spirit in her house.
