Yay! It’s almost Christmas! I’m sure many of you have your home decorated for the holidays and today is the perfect day to snap some photos and share for Living Creative Thursday. This is a day where we share creative ideas, meet others in the blogging community and get inspired!
If you follow me on Facebook and Instagram then you might have noticed me talking about my niece’s new home that her husband built himself!
I got to visit this summer and take some before photos. I’m happy that Jaclyn sent me some recent photos of what she has done with the place now that they have moved in. For a girl on a budget and who decorated it all herself, I think she did a fabulous job! Their new home is gorgeous.
To keep with Living Creative Thursday‘s theme today of “Holiday Home Tour & Decorating Ideas”, I’m sharing a few before and after photos of Jaclyn’s Holiday decorated home.
I spy an Elf on the Shelf in the kitchen!
One of these days, after it’s totally finished, I’ll give you a tour of the whole house. The outside is beautiful too!
Here are some photos I took this summer of the home in progress. Can you believe they built this themselves? My husband is doing good to add a dimmer switch to a light fixture. We didn’t get the handy gene in our family!
This is the back of the home. Not too shabby.
This is the view of the backyard from the top deck.
Wrap around back porches, beautiful rolling hills, the country with lots of cousins, wild kittens, horses and motorcycles… I am ready to move in! Yeah I can work from anywhere, you won’t mind me and my crazy kids would you Jaclyn?
When the home is not decorated for the holidays, she uses yellow as an accent color. I love it!
I asked “What would you put on this wall?” a few weeks ago on Facebook and got some great suggestions. Please leave a comment if you have some good ideas.

Also love that rug in the main room. Could you advise where it was purchased? Thanks!

Beautiful! I think a very large horizontal piece of artwork would be nice on that back wall. She already has a wall gallery so something with a singular focus, blending the grays and golds would be perfect. It will also give the eye a resting focal point looking across the room, leading into the kitchen. Ballard Designs has some nice large pieces in that she might like.
