This Christmas home tour may look familiar. We featured Lisa Shumadine’s beautiful home back in the Spring, and loved it so much we had to visit again for the holidays! Every room is stylish, elegant and full of color. By now you have probably finished your decorating, but you may get a few last minute ideas from Lisa. Her chic effortless style is fresh and inviting. So come on in, and be inspired. Happy Holidays!
Christmas Home Tour | Meet Lisa Shumadine
Lisa’s dining room is merry and bright. From her decorated chandelier to her colorful holiday place settings, she is ready to entertain. What is one of your favorite holiday traditions? “My parents are British and moved to the U.S. in the late 60’s, long before Christmas Crackers were available or widely used here. My mother would have my Grandmother mail them to us from England so we’d have them for our Christmas Dinner. I have many fond memories of dinner guests and friends (including my husband, when we were dating) thinking we were very strange as we wore our paper crowns throughout the meal and insisted they did as well. We would go around the table reading our jokes and passing around the cheap toys and trinkets that were also included. It has been a lot of fun carrying on this tradition with my own children and introducing it to my in-laws.” says Lisa.
Christmas Home Tour – Kitchen
In addition to being completely inspired by Lisa’s beautifully renovated kitchen, she also has some easy DIY Christmas decorating ideas you may want to try yourself. My favorite is her red pear and magnolia leaves arrangement by the window. Her hot chocolate bar setup is quite adorable as well.
In the bar, I am going to steal this idea for myself. Lisa took a battery operated strand of white lights, and wrapped it around a silver tray. It adds the finishing touch to her champagne flutes on the bar countertop.
Christmas Home Tour – Living Room
Lisa’s living room is heaven. Decorated in soothing pastels and tasteful holiday decorations, it’s truly a picture perfect scene.
