May your cranberry bread be baked to perfection.
May your broccoli be steamed.
May your potatoes be mashed.
May your corn be buttered.
And may your turkey and dressing be shared with family and friends.
Just in case you had a few minutes between courses and conversation, I wanted to share one of my favorite Christmas tours ever. In the history of ever. I’m getting ready to deck some last minute halls here and show them off next week.
This ceiling.
This lamp.
This hallway.
This centerpiece.
This geometric pattern.
This dining room.
These bar stools.
This rag rug as a bench pillow.
This tree against this brick wall.
This breakfast nook.
This chair back.
This magnolia wreath.
This laundry room.
This floor and those letters.
This table.
This urn and the simplicity of this arrangement.
This pedestal.
This wall color.
These built-ins.
This wood stump table.
This tobacco wood artwork.
This creative handmade Christmas decor idea.
I went down several years ago and photographed this home from the Christmas home tour. This amazing home was built by Gregg and Rains Building Group and decorated by two incredible designers named Kara and Lauren Blalock from Refresh Home.
Lauren and Kara….you are rock stars.
No one else could have designed a house like this and be so full of joy that you make my heart smile every time I see this house.
And now that we are BFF’s…..
….can you please come decorate my ceiling? 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving!
Wishing you and your family a wonderful thanksgiving!! And that Home is INCREDIBLE!!
Happy Thanksgiving Girly to you, the Hubs and all the little Thistles! *giggle*
This is one of my absolute favorite home tours I have ever seen. There is something I love in every single photo and the first thing I noticed was the old wood ceiling. Wow!!!!! Happy Thanksgiving.
It's lovely but we love your home.....and of course we have a very soft spot for you. Happy Thanksgiving!!! xoxoxoxo
Love this house too! Happiest of Thanksgivings to you and your family!
Wow, so many wonderful and amazing ideas in this home. We just moved so I'm decorating my new home this season and it's fun, although overwhelming dealing with all the boxes, too. Love your blog, KariAnne, and the way you brighten up our days with your posts! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your wonderful family. We all have so much to be thankful for this year and always. Our Lord is TRUELY so good to us all. Be sure and give some turkey to those cute doggies of yours !
OMG it is beautiful!! I have to go over it a few times the wall in the dining room is gorgeous how do they do that love everything about your home tour have a Happy thanksgiving .
I live just two miles from Refresh! I love those girls! Four years ago when our daughter got married she walked in the store and told them, "I want that Christmas tree for my reception at Tulip Grove Mansion." They took all the decorations off and carefully packed them! When we moved to Franklin from Old Hickory two years ago, they gave lots of free advice on our "fixer upper." I love visiting them often! PS I am still praying for that retina!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!! xoxoxox
What an amazing home tour, loved every detail! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family.

It is very beautiful. I just pinned a bunch of photos for future inspiration. The wood ceiling looks even more complex in the view from the hall.

First - hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving! Second - Yes, it's agreed that this home tour is one of, if not the best.... Whoops! Hold on...there may be one that ties...at least. Makes me breathless and a Pavlovian fool, both at the same time.

What a gorgeous, gorgeous house tour!! That teepee bed sure made me smile - looks like so much fun and the red lantern was the perfect touch. Your home is just as lovely and has its own charm!
I thought that was your home!
