Boston Holiday House Tour


One of my favorite things to do is take time out to be a tourist in your own city. I grabbed one of my close friends here in Boston and we strolled through historic Beacon Hill. Welcoming guests to your home should start with your front entrance and I love how these homes are decorated for the holidays. How fantastic is the magnolia wreath pictured above with the contrast of green and brown? Love.

The pineapple which symbolizes welcome.


Can't go wrong with the classic look of boxwood which is what I use on my mantle.




A few other favorites we found






We even found a vintage Santa. Merry! Merry!
