House tours are always one of the first things I check out when I find new blogs. I thought it was only fair for me to post mine in return!
We had this house built a little less than 2 years ago. It is house #3 for us, and the first one we purchased with the intention of staying more than five years. #1 and #2 were great houses, but we knew they were steps towards building a home that we would stay in with no exit plan.
Since we’re in the middle of the holidays, I thought we’d go with “Christmas Edition” and focus just on the rooms that have some festive decor. We’ll tour the office, master bath, and upstairs in a future post. Please excuse some of the very bare walls- just think of them an opportunity for more blog projects.
Grab your cocoa and/or wine and settle in – I’ve got a ton of pics to share!
Let’s start with the outside. It’s totally abnormal for us to have this much snow, but I love it!
Not too exciting, but so pretty!
Everything we buy for this entry wall seems to shrink on the way home.
I’m leaning towards doing a gallery wall and large console table, but it hasn’t happened yet!
Next up is the dining room, I wasn’t feeling centerpiece creative this year so I went very simple.
Thanks for visiting! Be sure to follow me so you know when the rest of the rooms are posted!

I love your lights over your island! You have a beautiful home, and I’m kinda of jealous of the snow in OK.
melissa@polishedhabitat.com says
Thanks Krissy! The island pendants are my favorite light fixture too. I ordered them out of a catalog at the lighting store, so I was really nervous when I picked them!
The snow was a freak thing for us, especially this early in the year. It’s the first time the yard has been covered in snow since we moved to this house! I love it though, so it’s just fine with me.

LOVE your home! It feels so open and cheery! Your pup is too cute too and that picture could be serious Christmas card material : ) I also can’t get over how cute those little holiday ski decorations in your bathroom are. Great find!
Melissa says
Ah, thanks Jodie! Those ski’s are some of my favorite decorations to put up. The only problem is that 11 months out of the year I want to do something fun & bright & patterned to the walls in that bathroom. But then it wouldn’t match my Christmas decor! 🙂
Tania @ Run To Radiance says
It looks awesome Melissa! I love the tall ceilings and all your fun decor accents. 🙂
Melissa says
Thanks Tania! Still have a ways to go on finishing the decor, but luckily I was mentally prepared for it to take years!

Thanks so much Betty! I hope you are all doing well!
Mel says
Love your home! I adore the way your dining area is separated by that huge rounded opening to your kitchen. And I cannot get enough of that craft room. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
melissa@polishedhabitat.com says
Thank you Mel! The dining room being open to the kitchen but still it’s own separate space was one of the things we really loved about this floor plan.
Jas says
You have a lovely home! Do you know the grout color of your kitchen backsplash? Thanks
Melissa George says
Thanks Jas, the grout is DeLorean Gray. We love it!
