Normally I would start sharing pictures of the decorations in the foyer first, but the link parties dictated everything in a different order. So let's take a look at what I did in the foyer this year. Still using pine cones, greenery, and candles to create a rustic vignette.
Come on in.
Cloudy and cold and this is how it looks inside today.
I filled this wicker tray, that normally is on the coffee table in the great room, with fresh greenery, pine cones, antlers, a candle and my tall carolers that I bought a couple of years ago to create this vignette on the chest in the foyer.
Like my new lantern from Ballard Designs? I have been wanting one and they finally went on sale a few weeks ago. I love the vintage gas lantern look of this lantern.
Huge pillar candle holder on the other side of the chest topped with a small wreath and a large candle.
The stairs are decorated with real white pine garland that is not going to make it till Christmas and this vintage style felt stocking that I found at the antique store. I love this old fashioned style stocking.
Filled it with traditional candy canes, a decorative candy cane, and some old fashioned Pez candies.
This is a sparkly swag that hangs on the front door on the inside.
Thanks for stopping by and come back soon!
See you tonight for Wow!

Kim,
Where did you get your carolers?
Your house looks stunning and I am so envious.
Very pretty, Kim! I love the greenery and bell on the door. Your rustic tray arrangement with the pretty aqua lantern is also lovely. The carolers really suit the rustic display.
Oh I am LOVING those beautiful Carolers and the Notes etched into there outfits.... So VERY pretty..along with with those wood floors of yours... :) I am starting a Linky Party and would LOVE for you to link up tomorrow... ; )
Got the carolers at a local shop a couple of years ago.
The lantern is actually a green gray color like aged copper.
Kim, this is sooooo pretty! Love the pinecones and the greenery and those carolers! Love'em!!
I have to say though, that buffet itself is stunning!!

Hi Kim,

Love your Christmas Tree & decor!
Those windows, amazing...
Beautiful natural light...

So gorgeous, Kim! I love all the greenery!
I love the carved looking carolers. You have such a pretty theme with all the natural elements on display.
The carolers are just perfect for that space, they fit in so nicely with the old style lantern. I also adore the pine piece on the door, simple and elegant. Lovely like always!!
Your carolers are darling. It looks like their clothing has the texture of birch bark. Neat. I like how that works with the candle on the pillar. LOVE that and the lantern is fabulous.
Your home looks as gorgeous as ever Kim. I can't wait to see everything you have done-no doubt it will be truly stunning!
Thanks for sharing your decorating ideas-I love coming here!
Best Christmas wishes,
Natasha.
It is so welcoming and beautiful! I love the carollers!
Such a beautiful home! I can tell that your carolers are one of those decorations that you can't wait to unpack each year. They are so unique.
Kim,
Beautiful! As always. I love visiting your blog, your home is filled with so much gorgeousness (is that a word?)
Your new lantern is great and love the ribbon from Ballards.
Your foyer is simply beautiful. I would have snatched up that stocking too - it's so cute!
So pretty, as usual, I love what you do. The lantern is a favorite of mine--just loving lanterns and the feeling they evoke. Merry Christmas from highpointcircle.blogspot!
Kim, I love those Carolers and that great Lantern. Oh, and those floors of yours are just gorgeous!
Marianne :)
Kim , You always leave me inspired . I love the carolers and the simple swag hanging inside your front door. What did you use for the ribbon?
I love the lantern Kim! Looking good when you enter into your lovely home.
Oh my goodness, I LOVE your carolers! So amazing! Thanks for sharing.
I always love your style. Beautiful decorating!

Kim- Your home looks beautiful as always! You've made a lot of changes since I first found you on HGTV/RMS! All your special touches look quite wonderful! Your carolers are really unique and your old fashioned stocking is sweet!
Merry Christmas, Liz
Beautiful! I love your new lantern and your carolers are gorgeous. (I'll bet if you are anything like me, after Christmas when you take everything down, it never goes back to like it was before - everything gets rearranged!) x Sharon
Nice pictures. You have to take a look at my blog:-) It's Lucia.

Very welcoming foyer. Your carolers are so cute. Very unique. Your Christmas tree looks so nice against the wood flooring. Also.. I love your lantern. Hugs!
Beautiful! I love how you can see your tree when you walk in. It's the exact same spot I have my tree. I never hung my mirror! Hubby thinks it'll leave huge holes in the wall and that's not good when we get ready to move in a few months. I still swoon over yours every time I see it.
The colors on that foyer dresser look wonderful together. The lantern just sets it off beautifully. Do you mind? What setting do you use to get the close up for the greenery with the blurred tree in the background?
I haven't seen those carolers!... love how you displayed them.
Your home is beautiful. You are very creative and thanks for sharing your space.
My fav is the greenery on the door - so light and feathery!
Those carolers are wonderful Kim. Your foyer says welcome!
I bet your house smells soooooo good with the fragrance of the pine. The carolers are really very special. I haven't put any fresh greens out yet inside. Waiting until next week to do that. Have a wonderful day Kim :)
I think the bling of last year went out and came back with rustic this year! We all seem to have gone that way, Kim. :-) Your carolers are sweet and look nice on the foyer table along with your antlers and greenery. My own boxwood and cut greens are looking a little dry. And I still say that greens don't smell like they did when I was a kid! LOL
I've always wanted a set of those carolers. Such lovely pieces you have too!
Very beautifule! I love that stocking..it make me want to make one!
Hi Kim,
I love the carolers. They look wonderful in the basket.
Ballard's always has the best stuff. I adore your lantern.
The Christmas stocking is so cute.
Dee
The lantern was just made for your buffet and the live greens are beautiful. I cut live holley this morning because I finally got sun.
Graciousness, Kim!
I was drooling and gasping while browsing your posts.
Is that your foyer? Looks my whole house §:-)
Absolutely stunning, warm welcoming home.
Happy TTT.

I love your carolers...they are really unique and the muted colors are perfect. I'm also on the hunt for a lantern...I'm hoping since I will able to get to a HomeGoods or two soon that I may find a deal or two!
Your home always looks beautiful and even more so at Christmas!
Kim, Your home is so beautiful! I always love everything you do. Debbie
Beautiful, Kim! So inviting, your front porch is, as well! I knew when I sat down for a minute to see what you've been up to I'd be here awhile! Your dining room is my favorite - absolutely gorgeous!
Absolutely STUNNING! I love the rustic look, and your carolers are adorable!
I'm hosting the Christmas Tree theme of a Blogging Around the Christmas Tree linky party, and would love to have you stop by and share your tree!
