I am so thrilled to be joining my friend Gina from Shabby Creek Cottage on a summer tour of bloggers’ homes! Because this is a blog hop, some of you may be visiting here for the first time from Madigan Made. Welcome!

If you’ve spent any time reading this blog, you may know that I live in perpetual summer. I love bold, over saturated colors, and my decorating style reflects that obsession. The only time I really ever tone it down is during Christmas, but let’s be honest – I do Christmas in a bold, crazy way, too.

So, Summer decorating is really no different than the 11 other months out of the year at my house. Since I showed most of my home in last year’s tour (except for this room and this room that I’ve since finished), I decided to show you some things I’ve changed up since then. Sound good? Awesome.

Welcome to my 2013 Christmas House Tour! It’s time to see how I decked the halls, Makely-style. For those of you just joining me from my good friend Roeshel at The DIY Showoff as part of the Holiday Housewalk, my style is generally an eclectic mix of mid-century modern and industrial, with bold colors and some quirky touches. But above all else, it is fun – which is the #1 requirement for any decorating piece that comes into my house.

This year, I had a bit of a decorating challenge. My big 2013 project – the de-beiging of my open floor plan living area – comes to a head next week when painters and scaffolding arrive at my house. I didn’t want to have to move a lot of Christmas decorations out of the way when they painted, so I had to be strategic about where I placed the decor.

But no worries, it all worked out and I’m just thrilled with the way my home looks right now – so happy that this post is extremely picture heavy so I could show it all to you!
