A traditional home decorated for a Black and Gold Holiday Home Tour

Happy holidays, friends!  My holiday decorating started a few weeks ago, and I finished up just in time to put this post together.  Do you decorate in a day, or in little steps and stages"  Most of my home is decorated for the holidays in golds and blacks. It has been fun to add new pieces in this simple and elegant color scheme in the living room and dining room.
Today I’m so happy to be joining the Seasonal Simplicity Holiday Home Tour hosted by my lovely and talented friend, Krista from The Happy Housie. If you are stopping by from Clean and Scentsible, welcome!  The whole tour lineup can be found at the end of this post.

The holiday front stoop looks very similar to last year.  I used the same pieces for a wintery holiday look that can take me through February!  All the information on our four-pane front door can be found here.
Come on in!  Our small foyer has a little holiday cheer!

The living room is ready for the holidays!  I love the way our new rug picks up the blacks, browns, and neutrals of our black and gold holiday living room!

A little side table makes a great place to have a little holiday vignette and family photo!

The living room is always the most cozy during the holidays!

The tall and glamorous Ratan LED Trees are my favorite new accessory!  The look perfect perched on each end of the mantel.
