I hate to be biased, but this is my favorite Christmas home tour to date, of my own home, anyway. Thank you for joining along in Handmade Holidays as we made all these pieces and thank you for a wonderful 2023 year enjoying all things vintage design! What would I do without you? It is so much more fun to share these cozy corners with friends who understand an old soul like me. Enjoy!
I agree, the doll story got me. I'm 56 and my mother gave me a Madame Alexander baby doll named Victoria for my third Christmas. I loved her so much I named my first born daughter Victoria . Then got her her own Madame Alexander Victoria at an auction for her third Christmas. It would mean the world to me if someday one of my children put my baby Victoria with their Christmas decor ❤️
Window coverings would up the coziness factor in your home by leaps and bounds, especially when it’s dark outside and uncovered windows look like dark, creepy holes.
What a beautiful example of Christmas home decor; vintage/Victorian but not fussy, elegant yet simple, everything a holiday should be! And then, you thanked your viewers for watching & I thought, "No, thanks to YOU for doing all that work & then inviting US in!" I love how carefully you've curated every room & corner, especially the reading corner. And I love how you didn't pack away all of your everyday items, just re-arranged & tucked in extra Christmasy touches like the bottlebrush trees. I'm also reluctant to use much red, choosing deeper burgundy colors instead, but the red transferware reads as pink, which I think is delicious. Everything is wonderful!
In my living room window, I've hung various sizes of oversized mercury glass ornaments on velvet ribbon in varying lengths from the curtain rod. They look so beautiful. However, last year, my 1 1/2 yr old grandson climbed up on the couch, grabbed one, and swung it into my window. My windows are original to my victorian home, just gorgeous wavy glass. It didn't break the window or the ornament. We couldn't believe it!!! We all expected both to shatter. Sometimes, you get lucky or have a higher power looking out for you. I choose the latter.❤ Your home is decorated so beautifully, with such elegance. Thank you for sharing, and your red dress was stunning.
Oh oh oh oh OH! You've outdone yourself on this one! It is all just so gorgeous!! I can't hit the like button hard enough! Enjoy your beautifully decorated home, my dear!
Oh my goodness, your home is the loveliest I’ve seen. The warmth is in every room and endless touches of Christmas from a time in the past that I try to preserve in my decor too. I certainly don’t have the design skills, but I have been working on it for years. Years ago I had the pleasure to be in an old school house which was converted into an antique shop. I could have lived there since it was so charming and the plaster walls and old plank floors were memories I’ll never forget. I enjoy all of your ideas because they provide us with the love for decorating in the most nostalgic way to provide happiness and comfort. Seasons Greetings!❤
Absolutely beautiful, Sarah! You have such a wonderful sense of style and grace. I’m a big fan of understated elegance, and you mastered this. From your front door garland to the master bedroom & every space in between, it’s filled with holiday charm. Thank you for inviting us inside!
This is truly beautiful, your home and the decorations! So much Nostalgia in that first room for me. From as young as I can remember up until my early teens, all we had was a 6ft silver tinsel tree, which would now be very vintage and almost antique. The only ornaments were glass balls In different colors and instead of lights on the tree we had the colored spinning wheel..i loved it so much! And when you mention your grandfather coming home from WWII.. my dad was in WWII, a purple heart marine vet. That was before I was born but one of the first things he bought for me as a infant was a tiny birthstone ring.. it had a purple stone set in a lot gold bow and he bought it at an antique store! I miss my parents dearly, especially at Christmas as it was our favorite time!🎄
Thank you Sarah. Your home looks so beautiful. I enjoy how you put things together, and create a unique and vintage look. You always give me inspiration.
Everything looks lovely. I LOVE all the personal touches, the dollhouse, your Mothers doll. What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing your home. A very Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Just lovely Sarah! Your home is truly gorgeous - so warm and inviting! I just hung my thrifted gold bells on burgundy velvet ribbon and strung them on our Christmas tree ! Love it! Thank you for the Handmade Holidays group - so inspiring for a year when I decided that it was a 'no spend' decor year! Super helpful to use what I have in different ways with just a bit of tweeking!
Sarah, your house looks amazing and I think think your mom is smiling down on the beautiful talented daughter that she has raised! Great job and Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤️
Beautiful in every way. Your dress looked gorgeous. I love traditional but have taken a liking to chinoiserie. Enjoy your holiday season. Merry Christmas 🎅
Beautiful home tour! Merry Christmas, Sarah. I love all the vintage touches. Right up my alley for sure. You have the best eye for decor. You are my inspiration. God bless.
Such a Beautiful Christmas Home Tour! 💚💚💚💚 It felt like going into the Home of "Little Women". 🎄🎄🎄🎄. It looks SO Cozy & Inviting!!! Love the bench seat with the Ice Skates and the Paper Ornaments!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 How you Gathered your Chairs around the Coffee Table for easy Conversations! ❤️❤️❤️❤️. All the Simple Touched you added truly makes it feel Old Fashion and Satisfied this "Old Soul!"🤗 Merry Christmas 🎄 Sarah to you and your Family!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Sarah, I just want to congratulate you, your work, decorating, diy's are stunning. I loved watching your video, seeing your house, and your voice was so beautiful ❤. Have a Merry Christmas! I really enjoy your videos, how you teach design concepts.
I think you are right. This Christmas tour is one of the best. Love, love it all. Very cozy and warm. Wonderful DIY projects and thrifted finds that are displayed beautifully. Christmas blessings.
I wanted to wait until I was able to make some free time for myself to watch this video from my comfy chair with some chocolate and tea. I’ve been so blessed with work lately, making this happen was difficult. I blame you, Sarah! 😉😂 So, with a thankful heart, I was able to watch just now and Oooooooh the bliss!!!! I enjoyed every minute. I think this is my fave too. And girl….. THAT. DRESS. 😮💃🏻✨🧨
We do not have a dining room! When we have large family dinners we set up a temporary table in the middle of the living room. ♥ We have plans for an addition, though. I can't wait!
What a beautiful home you have and all the Christmas decore is so gorgeous I love all the touches of mother nature's greenery pinecone etc.My kind of decorating!
It all looks so beautiful, and I love the way you present everything with such elegance and grace, wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New year, thank you for sharing your home and all it's beauty with each one of us.
Your holiday decorating is so elegant and understated. I sometimes resist holiday decor because I find it overwhelming, but I will be incorporating some of your simple touches.
This is so beautiful. You are really talented. Thoughtful and intentional.. eye candy everywhere you look. Tasteful.. uncluttered. Peaceful. Inviting. Restful . God bless you! Merry Christmas to you. By the way, yiur red dress is really beautiful ❤️.
I'm so touched not by all the beauty but from the heart beauty and your love of your family, pets, and as invite to a friend! Thank you for the tour. Merry Christmas, my dear!!!
Thanks so much for sharing your family holiday decorations.....it helps my spirit since l am in bed with RSV....stay safe and well.... Happy Holidays ❤
I really like the color of your living room! (and SO much more) I'm also going to use the idea of lace under the tree. I thrifted an old bag of lace from France and haven't used it yet.
Wow I love everything you did ! Love the cats and dog being included! They’re family after all ! 😊 They make the home a special home !! ❤🎄♥️🎄♥️ merry Christmas 🎄
The baby doll story makes me think of my great grandfather, he didn’t get to meet my grandmother until she was almost a year old. She carried a picture around and called it ‘daddy’ but wasn’t sure about him when he got home 🥰😂 she warmed up!
Hi Sarah, I am just in awe of the beauty of you and your home. I have been watching your channel a long time. And how hard you and your husband have worked on your home. I noticed the windows being done immediately. From the entry of the beautiful porch the garland and garden urns. And the cozy kitchen I love the countertop. And to bathroom the marble top dresser project, I remember you doing. By the time you showed the landing at the top of your stairs, I teared up! I felt so Blessed to be part of your sharing your home. So happy for you! The large ornate stunning mirror and garland draping with ribbon and sleigh bells and the taper candle’s. The bedroom everything just again warm and Beautiful! I’m motivated to recreate some of your decorations here at my home! God Bless you alway’s and so appreciate every detail you put into every video!❤
Beautiful. You out did yourself! By far my favorite Christmas look you have done. Makes me want to just come over and be enveloped in the Christmas ambience of yesteryear.
Absolutely stunning home. So many delicious details - just so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your home and all those wonderful diy touches. Merry Christmas to you and yours from Australia 💕
I’m just getting to put up my tree and this video is the perfect inspiration I needed while giving my legs a break from standing and doing all that. I still will be sending you some turkey feathers I had mentioned to you a while back. Sorry so late. Been busy our daughter just got married and I did all the floral! Exhausting but glorious fun!
Some really lovely touches. I love the baby doll story and the whole set up of your parlour. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. It's just lovely! Merry Christmas from Galicia 🇪🇦🎄🙏🏽💕
Your home looks so beautiful. You have done such a wonderful job with your decorating for Christmas. I will be watching this video several times. Absolutely stunning Sarah

This is really the most authentic Christmas Home tour. And I feel the same way about all of her posts. 🌲🌹🌲
Beautifully done Sarah! I so love your attention to detail - it makes everything you do so special.
Stunningly Elegant! Merry Christmas!!
Why not actually show the room instead of just your stuff
Sarah...being older and hearing the baby doll story that belonged to your mom really touched my heart. My dear, your mom would be so proud of you! 🥰
This brought tears to my eyes!
I agree, the doll story got me. I'm 56 and my mother gave me a Madame Alexander baby doll named Victoria for my third Christmas. I loved her so much I named my first born daughter Victoria .

Yes, I have custom drapes arriving any day, so sad they didn't it in time.
@@SheHoldsDearly That sounds brilliant! 👍🏻👍🏻
Very unique, I admire your taste. I like that your home is yours, not a copy of others. Beautiful, blessings to you and your family.
Love the idea of DIY’s and your soft voice when showing us your warm and cozy Christmas tour. Well done again Sarah. I will be back.❤
