My Colonial Christmas home tour for 2021

I hope you enjoy my Colonial Christmas home tour for 2021! I waited for the last minute when I heard we had snow on it's way. It was a bit of a time challenge decorating our new antique home for Christmas, but it actually made the house feel more like home and I'm glad I did what I could do!
This year I decorated in a simpler classic Colonial New England style and I'm thrilled with how it all came out, and I am even more thrilled I will have less to put away in the new year! I'm still decorating for a Colonial style Christmas here in New England and we have a lot of rooms we are remodeling and decorating, so stay tuned for more!
If you have the time, why not make yourself a cup of tea, coffee, or your favorite libation and relax for 13 minutes or so. I hope you enjoy my classic and traditional New England Christmas home tour.

It looks like a magazine. Absolutely beautiful!❤❤

[@karenmacleod7044]

Hello! Linda! I really enjoyed your Christmas Tour of your Beautiful home. Very cozy indeed! and your dog is Amazing!! love everything about your great video You certainly outdid yourself, Just Beautiful decorating throughout your place Thank you for sharing with us all 🥰💖💯👏👏🌿

[@Utube-l1p]

Beautiful house and more important HOME ❤ its so cozy, and warm looking, LOVE IT...🥰

[@maryhuff8524]

The cozy dark wood walls give a comforting & warm feeling to the green bookcase room. It’s very fitting for the Christmas holiday vibe.

[@nikkivenable3700]

Totally agree!

[@heatherthompson8837]

Agreed - I know she's debating whether she should paint it green, but I like it as a contrast.

[@AJones-xo3jg]

I love the thrifty nature of Linda and the uniqueness it brings to her home.

[@janice5218]

Taste!

[@tanyareagor7731]

You know what … I “discovered” you one day while home with a mild cold - just playing around with You Tube. Immediately became a Subscriber and kindred spirit. The first video I watched was your Christmas Tour. And while watching this one, I am blown away by how much you’ve done since moving in such a short short time ago. How did you get this all done girl! I have to tell you that I unexpectedly cried during your filming of Meadow and Ben playing in the night’s snow. Life is those very precious moments. Those magical peaceful love in our hearts moments of time. Then I laughed at Meadow wearing and posing in her reindeer headband. I guess what I’m saying is that not only do you inspire me to continue (at age 69) to put my mark on every corner of my home, but you also share your love of those you create your HOME for. Merry Christmas my far away friend 🎄

[@pamcornelius9122]

Your home is so cozy, warm and loved. The perfect place for Christmas. Thanks for sharing! 🎄 🕯

[@tamb7587]

I love people who can appreciate and see the value and perpetuity of consignment shopping. So many beautiful and purposeful things will end up in the dump by those who don’t appreciate or have vision. I appreciate Linda’s use and vision of these treasures!

[@newenglandfineliving]

Thank you!

[@danacarter4793]

Very beautiful, but cozy at the same time , puppy is adorbes , makes ya want to walk in and get comfy with pup 🥰, also reindeer head , OMG ,(I'm in love with that white and the whole fireplace ❤

[@lilyamezcua4047]

Wow, how spectacular and special is this! Linda thanks for sharing! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@void9837]

We have access to new modern architectural designs that are being overlooked and put on shelves because you promote the past and underestimate the opportunities in the future. Developers can't make modern and futuristic homes while you romanticize the past so much. The pilgrims defected from England for many reasons.

[@wilderboston]

I clicked on this video so quickly . . I think I broke my finger LOL 🤣 Soooo beautiful . . from the music to the decor . . so magical! I couldn't stop laughing when I saw Willow . . . I would keep an eye on her . . . Santa might recruit her as one of his reindeer . . she would be the cutest !😉🎅

[@janiceschultz2753]

So lovely, peaceful and happy!

[@imahick5723]

Your house looks so beautiful! You have done so much in a few short months! It looks so cozy and festive!

[@nikkivenable3700]

Willow makes everything better! She’s just so adorable. Linda, this tour was great. I think my favorite room is the bedroom. Something about the sparse tree, the white linens with a bit of red on the pillow, the dark beams and all the natural light. And the snow outside?! Gorgeous. Thank you!

[@Hashas4477]

Absolutely beautiful. It’s full of personality

[@denisecoviello5619]

The house is lovely! Willow is adorable! And the snowy exterior scenes are like being in a Currier & Ives print! 🌿Merry Christmas!❄️

[@nancychestnut8928]

Some people have style and class. You have it in spades! Your decorating made this house a home. No flashing lights, no noisy animation, no blow-ups. Just charming, scentual (and sensual), cozy, warming...all enveloping decor. And how fortunate the weather cooperated! Very well done! Count your blessings and have a wonderful Christmas.

[@julieclevenger1347]

Beautiful and elegant! I live in a 155 year old house and I love to see other historic homes🎄🎅⛄

Oh Linda, how beautiful. It felt like I was there although I’m sitting right here in sunny Florida.

[@cinder8290]

I am definitely on the NICE list. Your home is gorgeous!!! I love your Christmas decor, it's perfection itself.

[@rolexk3de]

Willow and her antlers are so cute!

[@rt3box6tx74]

I'm amazed at the beautiful job you did decorating for Christmas in spite of having just moved. Looking forward to 2022 home renovations.

[@judyrogers9313]

Love “glitzon’ the reindeer over the mantle ❤️ absolutely beautiful Christmas home!

[@TuckerSP2011]

I'm on the nice list Linda! Oh my gosh, Willow in those antlers is the cutest thing ever! And I loved the Willow wreath! The fireplace under Glitzen looked so magical. Loved that little Santa holding the sign Noel. Seeing your beautiful home and property all dusted with confectioners sugar (snow) is really getting me in the Christmas mood. Great house tour!

[@valjohnson5835]

Sugarwood is beautiful at Christmas. You have an amazing touch for home decor. I love everything Linda! You are at the top of my list for inspiration and great ideas. Willow is so sweet. Merry Christmas!

I was so happy this morning when I saw that you had posted your home tour….so lovely! You have really done so much in such a short time…Merry Christmas…and by the way, Willow is quite adorable!

[@seasonliving6916]

I am such a dog lover, I was so happy to watch Willow playing in the snow and napping by the fire, that head band is so sweet. Everything is so warm and cozy, you have done a wonderful job making this new house your lovely forever home. Have a very Merry Christmas, cant wait to see what's next.

[@nancychestnut8928]

Had to watch this again, A year later! So classy, well thought out, beautiful, inspirational! Love watching Willow enjoying the snow.

[@adz5bneweng589]

So happy for you - finding "your forever home" and enjoying your decorating. Everything is beautiful!!

[@missnellie1023]

Warm, inviting and classic! Come in, sit down and sit by the fire. Thank you for having me to your lovely Christmas Home!!!!🎄

[@CharlotteFairchild]

Enjoy the space! My house is so crowded after 23 years! Moving is so great for finding what you want in life! I watch Donna Davis Art. She does digital art. She is also in New England area. Stratford, CT was founded by Thomas Fairchild, and two other men. I have never been to Stratford, and this is why I watch two people in the New England area, you and Donna Davis.

[@claudettewade437]

Linda, you left me speechless again. Everything is beautiful. My favorite room is the "library" it is so warm and welcoming. The rug you just purchased is over the top. Of course the snow just made everything that more perfect. Your sweet baby is happy romping in the snow. Merry Christmas 🎄🎅 from Tennessee

[@lilyarmitage4168]

In my next life, I am coming back as Willow! That dog is having way too much fun.😁😁😁😁

[@bkestler1]

What a beautiful culmination of all your efforts Dear.

Don't ask me why I'm crying. I don't know. It was a beautiful video with beautiful music and the editing was all perfect. Thank you so much for bringing us such a wonderful Christmas tour....I love Willow.

I think you are the Martha Stewart of NH! So beautifully done. Merry Christmas to you.

[@heartofchocolate9433]

Loved your house tour! The dusting of snow was perfect. Your Nativity grabs my heart I remember the sentiments behind it. Willow stole the show at the end. She is a sweet heart! You have done so much to your home and can feel the joy in & life breathed back into it. Have a wonderful Christmas. 🎄😊❤️

Oh dear, words fail me. However gorgeous, lovely, beautiful, cozy, all pop in my head when I take your tour. This one has just taken my breath. You are one amazing person. I am in a williamsburg inspired cape cod that looks 200 years old but isn't. We decorate in your style because Williamsburg had a lot of influence from New England and vice versa. I of course am subscibed but wish I could subscribe over and over just to help your channel. Merry Christmas Linda, Ben and Willow. xoxo

Talk about a white Christmas with the snow. Where I am we may get snow for 24-48hra. But I won’t complain. Everything is very cozy.

[@seachange17]

Quintessential New England. Just lovely. I especially like the green paint color you chose for the doors.

[@charlottehenry9798]

Great video. Your dog had a great amount of patience with the antlers. "Take the picture quick and then I'll remove this silly apparatus." Love your approach to your home keeping. Although today's contemporary furnishings can be practical, they miss the warmth. Technology has changed our lives but I keep some vintage and antique furnishings around as they put a smile on my face. Thank you for the Christmas video.

[@gerigowers8318]

It was nice seeing what you've done with familiar pieces from your former home (like Glitzen). I enjoyed the whole tour and Willow kept the antlers on just long enough to look cute, then "I'm done". I've struggled with Christmas spirit this year, but this is bringing me back, so Thank You. I may watch this more than once.

[@conuregirl007]

What a gloriously resplendent home! I love every inch of it! Makes me want to cozy up by the fire with a glass of wine. I'll bet it smells so good too! Hope you have the most wonderful Christmas time! And Willow with antlers...🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️just precious!🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️

[@mariekendall5471]

Linda, your Christmas home tour is a true testament, that less can be more! All the effort of the creative handiwork and natural decor, purposefully placed and its ultimate reveal, being of simplicity is very tranquil and appealing. It's funny how ones senses, can kick in with the smell of the evergreens, spices and a hint of the roaring fire! Seeing the manger scene reminded me of your reminiscing story, attached from a previous video. The snow falling was like a coating of icing powder on top of a beautiful tour! Thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays!!
