A very simple Christmas home with simple Christmas decor of red, white, and green! No fluff or too much stuff this year! 

Hello beautiful friends, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!

I’m so behind this year. I usually post our Christmas home and decor much earlier than this but here we are! Ha! But better late than never, right? Today I’m sharing our very simple Christmas decor. Since we’ve been so busy with things, life, this house (painting etc), I decided to do a very simple Christmas this year with our decor. I was kind of going for a rustic lodge sort of situation. I think I achieved it!

And I’m actually surprised at how much I am enjoying it. I think my husband and son don’t mind too much either. ;) My son would love all the “fluff” but he’s grown so I don’t have to do that every year anymore, right? lol

Anyway, I thought I’d share it with you. Plus a few photos of our decorated porch too. (and a sneak peek of our new paint again and the shutters in place)

It wouldn’t be complete without a few pictures of our favorite pups too!

Simple Christmas Decor (scenes from Christmas 2024)

We’ll start with the porch.

I adore these little trees. I got one set and quickly went back for two. Thankfully, they still had some when I did.
You can find them here. (they are in stock as of this writing)
And I used the small, timered fairy lights on all of them for nighttime.
You can find those here. (in stock and 30% off)

You can find our doormat here.

They look so pretty on each side of the door. Especially at night.

The new shutters look great and I finally nailed the color down perfectly. Yay!

We have plans for the front lower brick area. I’ll share when we do.

Remember this table?? (see it here)
The red ceramic Christmas tree is from Wal-Mart.

These pillows have seen a holiday or 10. Haha! They are a bit faded but I still love them. (the other one says “merry”)

The lantern came from Kroger, believe it or not. The lanterns I found here.

Piper and Ryder say come on in, friends!

I bought two new rugs this year, one for the foyer and one for the kitchen.
You can find them here. (it shows 2 in stock)

And Mr. Sassy Santa right here where he’s been the last few years. My favorite place for him.

I just love him.

Please pay no mind to the “no trim” around our door below. We are redoing the decorative treatment around the foyer that we put up years ago. It’s beautiful but we want it to match better the rest of the house which is shiplap/board and batten. So once we do that we will add the trim back around the door. Never a dull moment around here. lol

I’m still loving our new light fixture though. It goes perfectly with our decor and it’s so unique. You can find it here.
(and our painted ceiling too…read about that here)

Look at that cute little face peeking around the corner. She’s my little shadow, for sure.

I didn’t do a lot in the kitchen, just the rug, the mirror, and the window. (plus red and white kitchen towels too)

I love the ledge for all of the Christmas cards we get though. It’s a great way to display them.

Simple and with the heart ornament I had made last year with my parents. It stays there all year.

I love seeing windows through the window. lol Can’t wait till our extra room there is finished.

I still love this little Santa calendar figurine I found at the thrift store years ago. He always sits right here. There is one day (I can’t remember the one but it’s right before Christmas) that the number blocks don’t work out, haha, but I still love it! (and probably why someone got rid of it, lol)

Looking into the “morning room” from the kitchen.

It’s going through some transformations too. But do you see the tree? It’s new this year. I decided to go with “un-flocked” this year.
Love this tree, it’s heavy but it’s very realistic. (you can find it here)

AND no ornaments (only a star on top). That is one of the biggest things I did differently to keep it simple this year. (plus, just not putting all of my other decor out) Kind of rustic winter “lodge-ish”, right? No fru-fru or fluff.

You might also notice we kept the same couch but got rid of the white covers. We had these tan covers already so put them on for a change in here.
We did this trim going around the room years ago when this was a dining room. It’s getting changed too. It doesn’t really fit the room…or our home.

Haven’t fully pinned down what exactly we are doing but probably some sort of shiplap and a dark-ish color on the walls and/or ceiling. We are going for a completely different vibe in this room but still keeping it flowing with the rest of the home/decor since it’s such an open floor plan now.

And a new rug with these gorgeous colors…

Which I adore! You can find it here.
And it was SO easy to lay out, I did it completely by myself in less than ten minutes.

We also got a new leather chair. It swivels and is so comfy. I found it at Home Sense.
It was just time to move away from the all-white furniture. The ottoman is just like the one that is in our living room. This one was in our son’s room and he really wasn’t using it anymore so we put it here for now. It’s a storage ottoman, which is nice.
You can find it here.

Oh, and a cute little wood table beside it I found at Burlington for I think, $59.

The fun Christmas tree pillow came from Costco this year.

The coffee bar got a bit of simple Christmas too.

The dining room built in…the sign I made years ago.

The dining table centerpiece with my favorite Nativity that we’ve probably had almost our entire marriage. I found it early on in those days.

Hey you…

…told you she was my shadow. She does not let me out of her sight!

The laundry has a red rug too.

I hung up the new Nutcracker sign I made in there.

Christmas towels, greenery swag, and fairy lights in the small half bath.

And a Santa sign I made using a napkin a year or two ago.

Still LOVING this peel-and-stick wallpaper in here…and it’s holding up great! Read all about it here.

The living room with simple Christmas touches like greenery, red and white pillows, and red and white throws.

And cute Christmas pups too! (I did not plan that…I turned around and Piper had gone over to lay by Ryder…so sweet!)

This is really Piper’s favorite spot. She loves to look out the window. (and bark at people, fun times ha!)

This was a fun tray to make. You can read all about it here.

I think the Joy pillow was from Costco last year. They have such great pillows every year.

I had purchased a different tree for in here this year but the lights all died 2 days later. Boo.
So I pulled this non-flocked tree out of the garage storage and used it here instead. The tree collar can be found here.

I got new red and white stockings to go with this “simple Christmas” theme this year.
You can find them here and here (pups, they are dog bone shaped but it’s hard to tell in the photo of them hanging).

Don’t forget, if you are a follower here, you can download these TV screensavers for your TV. (they are in the Printable Library)

I kind of love the clean look of the trees with just the lights and the stars.
Along the touches of red, white, and green all around.

And it really took a weight off this year to keep it simple. Not only that, it feels so much less “cluttery”.
Love that.

Piper says thank you for coming to visit!

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday, and Happy New Year, my dear friends!
