An Urban Farmhouse Holiday Home Tour
I invite you all to take a tour of my urban farmhouse holiday home tour!
I’ve been eagerly awaiting this day for weeks and today is my day! Worthing Court has come alive for Christmas and I’m honored to be joining some of your favorite bloggers for the 2016 Holiday Home Tour hosted by Chloe from Celebrate & Decorate. There are house tours lined up for everyday this week, so be sure to scroll to the bottom for the links to the other blogger homes.
I’ve already shared several areas of my home all decked out for Christmas, but today I get to share everything all in one place! Plus, I’ll give you some peeks into my kitchen and foyer. After the years of my Tuscan phase, I had pretty much banned red from my home. What was I thinking??? I love red, especially at Christmas. You’ll see that I’ve welcomed it back with open arms this Christmas!
Christmas Home Tour
Let’s start at the beginning – the front porch of my house. We have a deep and wide front porch, which is a blessing here in the south, but all that space can make it a bit difficult to decorate. After purchasing our dated, twenty year old home, two years ago and completely remodeling the interior, this is the first year that I’ve gone all out on my porch for Christmas. What fun it has been to see the reactions of our guests as they arrive at Worthing Court! Click HERE to take a full tour of the porch.
Come on in through the front door into our foyer. I can only give you a sneak peek of it today because I have a commitment for a full Christmas foyer reveal on Monday. I’ll hope you’ll come back for a visit then!
From the foyer, let’s go into the holiday decorated family room. This is where all the action will be when we hold our annual Christmas gathering at our house. I used a lot of tartan plaid ribbon on the tree and mantel, but it’s the festive red and white checked ribbon that I think really brings the tree to life! Click HERE to take the full tour of my cozy Christmas family room.
I always get so excited to see my children and grandchildren open their gifts every year! This year I used a variety of red, white and green wrapping paper and ribbon to create festive packages.
I literally threw together this vignette on the coffee table in about ten minutes! And my diy rustic ladder got all dressed up for the holiday too. Find out how I built the easy-peasy rustic ladder for under $20 HERE.
Let’s move on into the breakfast nook. These farmhouse open shelves, above my sideboard, are where the Christmas decorating really started this year. I found the plaid plates on clearance a few months ago and knew that they would take center stage and be the inspiration for all of my Christmas decor! BTW – you can take the full tour of the breakfast nook HERE.
My kitchen is one long room, with the breakfast nook at one end and the actual kitchen part at the other. I haven’t posted my full Christmas kitchen tour yet, so I’ll be giving you a few sneak peeks today.
I’ll end this year’s Christmas tour with the dining room because it is soooo different from the rest of the house! I feel like the dining room should be dressed a little more special for Christmas, since that’s where our formal Christmas meals will be served. The dining room is rustic-glam all the way!

Wow what a beautiful tour. I love all the red that you used and the kitchen looks so wonderful. My favorite is the jar with the deer inside. So adorable.
Suzy, I always enjoy seeing your beautiful home and it is truly dressed to the nine’s for Christmas. Every detail is perfect…love the red…it says Christmas! Enjoying blog hopping with you this week. Wishing you a joy-filled Christmas season
Suzy, I love your farmhouse welcome on the front porch, with the sled, crate, and trees. Love your peek at the foyer, with its beautiful mix of reds and blues. Your tree is gorgeous with its red gingham accents–a showstopper! Your shelves in the breakfast nook are so festive with plaids. The details are cheerful and festive: gingerbread house in a jar, striped bowls, and a cup of free cocoa. Your dining room is elegant, too. I’m so delighted to play with you this week on the tour!
Suzy- Everything is so beautiful and festive! You have done a wonderful job of adding a special holiday touch to every room. Wishing you a Merry Christmas from sunny Florida- so fun blog hopping with you this week- Kristy (Starfish Cottage)
That porch!!! You have more decor on your porch than most people do in their whole house. Not the people in this blog hop, but most of the country, maybe. I want to sit there and enjoy a glass of wine. You really pulled out all the stops.

Oh my, such a beautiful home all decked out for the holidays! Where to begin? First, how wonderful is your front porch, it says to come and sit for a bit and soak up all the holiday decor! The red and white checked ribbons on your tree are so bright and pretty, and I love your fireplace treatment, with the shutters with little wreaths and the sign hung on the wood in the middle! The gold accents in the dining room are so elegant! Thank you so much for being a part of the blog hop, have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Your home is so pretty! I love the red check ribbon in your tree.
Oh my gosh I so love your Christmas décor! I mean each picture is more gorgeous then the last. I better get my decoration game on. After seeing your home I am a totally decorating slacker. lol. Thanks for the inspiration.
Love! You and Stonegable (Yvonne) always give me so much to think about, learn, and apply (and sigh over)! Thank you so much!
AHH! Your Home Tour is GORGEOUS!!! I love all the details and the pictures are just amazing! That amazing porch really sets the stage for the rest of your home. Great job decorating for Christmas! Thanks for sharing with us on the Family Joy Blog Link Party!

Absolutely beautiful. I really enjoyed the tour, and will Pin your post for future decorating ideas. Thanks for sharing on Sunday’s Best.
I LOVE your red and white Christmas tree in your family room. I need to look for some ribbon similar to yours! All of your kitchen decorations are adorable.
Wow! What a gorgeous space! I want it!
Thanks for sharing with us at the Funtastic Friday Blog Hop!
Love your kitchen!
Christmas is a red and green theme for me also! I admire the many lovely ways I have seen others decorate using different colors but it wouldn’t be Christmas at my house without reds and greens accented by silver and gold. I also have to have a nativity in each room. Our children and grandchildren look for the familiar decorations and notice any that are new.
You have such a knack for putting items together and making them look fabulous and festive. I especially like the nostalgic Christmas look. Thanks for the inspiration!
