Christmas Home Tour - Christopher Hiedeman's Christmas Decorating - Historic 1898 Home Tour

- čas přidán 1. 12. 2021
- Follow me on a holiday tour around our historic Victorian home as I share a close up look at my Christmas decorations! This year the kitchen features a gingerbread baking theme while the entry takes a step up from last year's simple staircase garland to a sophisticated sparkling display. The dining room features rich forest greens and golds while the fireplace room rests calmly in a simple, nostalgic Christmas feel with popcorn garlands & gingerbread cookies adorning the tree, and a wintery nativity display decorating the fireplace mantel. As tradition, the end of the video features a nighttime tour of all the Christmas lights inside and out set to calm, warm ambient music! As requested, I made the nighttime segment longer too!
Our home is furnished with a blend of new and vintage furniture & decorations as I enjoy decorating with exciting new finds and treasured antique décor from the past. Each year I try to incorporate current Christmas design trends with classic traditional Christmas decorating for a warm, inviting balance of new and familiar. From rustic to elegant, ribbon to ribbon-less, each one of my Christmas trees are decorated in different themes to hopefully spark some Christmas joy and inspiration to all who watch!
I've had so much fun this season decorating trees & mantels, working on fun Christmas projects & floral arrangements, and wanted to take the time to say a big THANK YOU to all of my wonderful subscribers & viewers! You all keep me excited to decorate each season with your likes & uplifting comments! I'm grateful for each and every one of you and want to wish you a healthy happy Christmas filled with warm memories & fun traditions! Though each Christmas may be a little different than the last, I hope there will always be merry in your hearts! Wishing you all a wonderful winter season & the happiest new year! :)

- Marshmallow, our canary is less than a year old
- The paint color in the kitchen is Behr brand "Clay". Unfortunately I don't know the main interior paint color as it was this color when we moved in
- Much of the ribbon & floral stems used in the trees & garlands are from Hobby Lobby, Michael's, Joann Fabrics, & Dollar Tree. To see a full list of supplies & where they were purchased, you can check out the individual decorating video descriptions - I try to include everything I can :)

Christopher, your home is gorgeous and you are so blessed to have such talent for decorating!🎄🎅🏻❤️
I just want to curl up on the sofa with some hot cocoa and enjoy every second of the beauty.....
Christopher I have been designing and completing full renovations for well over 30 years and have installed a lot of holiday decor in that time.... It was all make believe elaborate displays for magazine shots, creating a feeling of holiday cheer and showing off for their pseudo friends and just all around doing another design install...
What you have created is a masterpiece of warmth, love, home goodness, and what the meaning of Christmas embodies in your soul... I am about to hit replay on this again.... to just savor and enjoy every nuance you have created in this wonderland of holiday spirit.......
I hope you and Tim have an absolutely wonderful holiday season full of love, cheer, and the best memories possible!
warmest holiday wishes to you both...
xoxo Randolph
p.s. LOVE your cute sweater!
Your home tour has filled me with the spirit of Christmas and a feeling of childlike wonder. Marshmallow's tree is an absolute masterpiece. Keep letting your light shine, Christopher.
Hey, the bird has a nicer tree than I have!! (ha, ha)
I love all the old-fashioned and whimsical pieces you have and the way you display them. And your staircase garland is so beautiful! You can’t beat an older home for warmth and charm. Thanks for sharing your home with us. 🎄🎄🎄🎄
Every year this is the most telepathic tour I will see. You must be a set designer or theater historian that should be paid millions. You literally take us on a journey each Christmas.
Ja
What a lovely compliment!
simply specatacular!
Hi Ramon! What are you doing here? 😂🤣
Meu querido amigo Ramon... Que orgulho de vc pela sua presença iluminada, por aqui, prestigiando o trabalho de nosso prezado Cristopher.?!!!
This historic home is so very lucky to have you and Tim as the proud owners. You always and expertly pay tribute to it's beauty with your elegant decor, inside and out. I love how you combine vintage, antique and new all together to create classy designs that fit seamlessly with each room of the house. Your home is from a time period I adore and I find I just can't wait to see what you design next. Side note, you produce your videos so wonderfully too. What a treat for us "junior" decorators to watch! Many blessings to you and your husband!
Your home just shines, inside and out, you decorate it so beautifully. I love how you display the vintage Christmas cards and that you decorated Marshmallow's room with appropriate, avian decor! I can only imagine your neighbors love looking at your home too. I find the keepsakes from both your Grandmother and Tim's so touching. I'm named after my Grandmother, Edie is short for Edith. She died very young and I have some photos of her but not 1 single thing that was hers. You're very fortunate to have precious items of theirs! Merry Christmas to you, Tim, and Marshmallow, I hope your holiday season is wonderful and blessed ❤
Hands down the most beautiful Christmas home tour on YT. Everything is so unique and personal and not all mass made stuff. I loved the garland with the mice and vintage cards. You give me such great ideas on how to display vintage items I have. It is just stunning. Thank you for sharing it with us.
So enjoyable. Every corner of your home is filled with charm.
Your home looks like it came out of a magazine Christopher. Everything is so beautiful !! You really are a creative decorator and stylist. Everything looks so beautiful !!
Your home reminds me of Christmas long ago when I went to my grandparents house, warm and cozy. If I knew a better word for gorgeous I would use it right here. I'm happy to see the vintage cards displayed for everyone to see. That makes my Christmas so much happier.
Hi Pat, the postcards and cards are fantastic! My family enjoyed seeing them at Thanksgiving :)
- Christopher
Christopher your home looks so festive and cozy for the holidays 🥰 Love all your decorated Christmas trees 🎄May you and Tim have a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous New Year 🎉
Your home tour fills me with so much emotion, warmth and happiness from a time gone by, I like all the memories you keep and share, i feel you were and are very loved, and it spills out in your home. I don’t know you, I will never know you but you make me feel something I can’t explain, Christmas is my happy place and you bring more happiness to my happy place, thank you Christopher. Merry Christmas 🎄. Only 11 months to wait for the next one , let the countdown begin 🎄
I look forward to your Vintage Christmas Home Decor every year. Absolutely Stunning. I see some decorations that are very similar to what my mom used when I was little. I'm 62 now, and it warms my heart every year I watch.
Have a Very Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
I think you must be the envy of the neighborhood. Your home, inside and out is stunning to view! What I love the most is the vintage feel, and that there is so much thought and design put into every room. I never tire of watching your videos and I am going to go back and watch the last 2 Christmas tours, just for more beautiful inspiration. Thanks for showing me your house!
Christopher, your home is just magical! Every year I can’t believe it can get any better! You are a very gifted designer! Hope you ,Tim and Marshmallow have a wonderful holiday season. Thank you for sharing another breathtaking tour.
Absolutely magical Christopher. The Lord has given you a talent of decorating and creativity. Thank you for sharing with all of us. You have the sweetest soul. My favorite Christmas decor this year.
Please tell your friends and family about this channel, so that we can get him to 100 k and get his youtube play button. He deserves one . Merry Christmas to you all!
Happy Holidays Christopher & Tim : You out did yourself again , love all that was put into the decorating . Yeah know something , would love to see You and this beautiful house in between pages of a magazine , Christopher -- I' ll keep looking . Thank you again Merry Christmas 🎍 🎄 ❄ ☃️
How blessed your are Christopher. You have been given the gift of an incredible eye for creating true beauty. Joy, joy, joy!!
I want to see grandma. This decorating is just my cup of tea. This home is so elegantly decorated in a vintage style. Peace and goodwill this holiday season. I am not feeling well so I could not decorate in 2021 for Christmas. This video was the perfect Christmas vintage style I strive for in my home. Enjoyed it immensely. Thank you for it.
Hi Carlotta, sorry to hear you are not feeling well. I actually have a video on my channel making popcorn balls with my grandma that you are welcome to check out here if you like: czcams.com/video/YDfjPZmbAtA/video.html
I also have a little "Christmas Special" surprise video I plan to share next week that includes my grandma, brother, & spouse :)
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas season! :)

Hi Christopher, my wife and I love vintage Christmas Decor as well. We have many items from our parents and grandparents that are close to if not 100 years old. Thanks for sharing!
Including a beautiful glass fish ornament.
Sometimes there are just no words to explain how beautifully you decorate. Your home is a Christmas wonderland. I live in a small A Frame and wish I had space for all that you do. You are such an inspiring soul Christopher and a shining light in these days. Thank you! 8-)
Christopher, your decorations are exquisite. I love that you honour your partner and both your families with a mix of family treasures and your own finds. And, it never looks jumbled or cluttered. You are very talented! Sweet Marshmallow was sleeping once the nighttime filming arrived. Adorable.
If I lived near you, I would take my after dinner walk past your house every night. With a hot cup of cocoa or spiced cider, I would linger on the sidewalk , imagining what its like to be inside. You are so blessed. Merry Christmas to you and yours
I saw someone on CZcams paint a beautiful staircase like your in a historic home-white!! I almost cried! Your home is gorgeous!
Awww! Marshmallow's asleep with visions of sugarplums dance thru her head, that pic was sooo sweet! Love your house , decorations and all within it! Just magical!
Christopher! Each room is simply stunning. Then you turn on the lights at dusk, and wow! Even more beautiful.
I love your vintage cards and books. I could spend hours looking at them. Well done.
Christopher. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I watched this Dec 2021 after a recent health battle with my precious Dad who has cancer. I was feeling deflated and struggling to even put up my tree. Your genuine home with touches of sentiment was so inspiring!! I’m doing it! Decorating because his birthday is this month and He deserves all the cb lives not the defeat!!!! Thank you again for stepping into social media if only for me tonight.
That dining table is spectacular and I am a snob....fabulosity!!
Christopher I’ve watched several Christmas home tours both simple and elegant. Your home is by far the most enjoyable. You’ve created a truly delightful holiday vision. Merry Christmas
Your house is beautiful, inside & out. I love the vintage cards & books. The illustrations are so detailed. Marshmallow's room looks perfect. I like it when we get to see him.
Love your home and your love for your grandmother. I am sure she feels very fortunate to have you. I know my grandsons and I have a very precious bond. I have a number of vintage Christmas cards to from around 1900-1910 that were in the family.
I just love the how you incorporate precious memories of items received from each other’s grams.. brings joy to all who see your decor. It’s elegant and sweet. Thank you so much for sharing. It’s beautiful ❤️🙏
Collecting vintage postcards is a wonderful. The art work is timeless, but so is the handwriting on the back. Cursive writing is slowly going to become a lost art.
If I could hire anyone in the world to be my home design artist, I would be you ! Another beautiful Christmas video !
You, sir, have exquisite taste. I was transported back to my childhood in the 50’s. Thank you for sharing your treasures with us. Have a blessed Christmas!
I love how you name who gave you various ornaments, like "my brother gave me this or Tim gave me this." It makes it so personal and so special. Your home is beautiful! Merry Christmas!
Such a beautiful home. I look forward to all your seasonal videos, they're magical! My love to you, Tim, Marshmallow and your families ❤
You tree with the oranges is beautiful. Everything is so beautiful and so tastefully displayed. A labor of love.
Oh, Christopher - if it was my home, my decision, I would NOT take one thing down after new year…..I would leave it up till I absolutely had to take it down…..and then I still would leave it up! Brilliant, Christopher !
That vintage nut bowl is exactly the one we grew up with. Memories.
Your home is stunning. You have the perfect balance of vintage, gifted items and new.
I cannot express how magical I find your Christmas style. Old World Christmas is my absolute favorite style of decorating. The postcards give me all the feels! (I’ve had a Pinterest board of them for years). I adore the mice. I also have a vintage Christmas pin collection, most that belonged to relatives. I wish I had the space to do all the same things you do! Of all the videos of Christmas decor, yours are the only ones that give me the magical feeling of Christmas.
Helllo there! Christopher, you are a jewel. You are a joy! You see my husband has been very sick with COPD and extreame PTSD for three years now, and I feel very depressed and heartbroken , that our lives have come to a halt. I used to decorate all the time, every season, but now I can not find it in my heart. These videos help to get my mind off of my hardships, and I guess I want you to know that it is worth the effort you put in to them! They always bring a smile to my face and lift my spirits even if it is just for a few moments. I love vintage, and your home is gorgeous! Keep on going my friend with you're beautiful art.
Beautiful Christopher. Once again you’ve outdone yourself! How funny that your canary had his own room!
I had to watch this again. It is so magical and beautiful. You should be a set decorator or decorate the windows of a beautiful department store. So pretty and such great ideas.
Christopher it is so magical just sitting and enjoying the tour of your home .It is like a warm hug on a cold day.Thank you.
Thank you Christopher for giving us the gift of entering and taking a peek of your beautiful home! What you have done is absolutely adorable, magical, stunning, and lovely! Every room and every corner is so beautiful and so inviting! The Nativity scenes are wonderful and the house with the lights on, is just magical! Thank you for such a wonderful treat, it is an honor! I would love if you could come to my house and help me decorate! I wish you, Tim, and all your family a Merry and blessed Christmas! 🙏❤️🎄😇
Oh the stories your home could tell of Christmas's long ago !! How fortunate to have treasures from your childhood and grandmother. Love seen in every room. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
JUST BEAUTIFUL!...SO INVITING AND RELAXING!...LOVE THE DECOR!. THANKS FOR SHARING!
Your home tours are always my favorite and I look forward to them each season. Everything is beautiful!
What a beautiful home! You have such talent. I think what I love most of all is how many times you mention your grandparents and childhood treasures as well as the lovely gifts from your partner. Those things are truly treasures in their memories.
Every corner, nook is a beautiful surprise. The decor are so beautifully displayed, especially the vintage. I have to applaud you Christopher.
I have watched many Christmas home tours…but yours is my all time favorite ❤️🎄❤️🎄
Christopher I love your old fashioned decor🎄 your home is lovely and the decorating inside and out done with great talent👍🏻🏠✨
The spirit of Christmas. You make it wonderful. God bless and thank you. 🌿
Thank you for sharing your Christmas home Christopher. Everything is so personal and has so much purpose. I look forward to it each year and this tour was amazing. My favorites are the nativity's on the mantels this time and the "primitive" tree, and LOVE the kitchen!!
Simply stunning. You are so talented! I love the nativity on the mantle. I grew up in Italy where a nativity set was in every home. It was always prominently displayed, and you brought back these warm memories. Thank you for sharing your home!
I love your connection with grandma God bless you & the family 🎄❤️
So beautiful! It’s like we have stepped back in time! Absolutely love this!
Love your home Christopher. You make your house a home, so warm and cozy with all the love of your family within.....Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home....
Absolutely beautiful! And it couldn't be more perfect with the snow falling outside! Lucky!!
❤🎄
Christopher, your home is stunning. Absolutely gorgeous. I would love to just wander around looking at all your treasures. I thought using the Christmas pins to decorate a wreath was a wonderful idea. I love that you use so many sentimental pieces in your decor.
Wish I was your neighbor to look out my window at your beautiful house every night. Your staircase garland is the prettiest I’ve ever seen & I love your idea decorating w your antique Christmas pins.
Wow, you went all out.
It's all absolutely gourgous 🎄🎀🎄❤️
This is my favorite version of a Christmas house tour. I don’t like Christmas tour videos where you mostly see the host and don’t get to see much. Beautiful job as always. Happy holidays!
LOVED ALL that you decorate! Especially all your vintage treasures, your house the pinwheel, all all that is vintage❤️.. God Bless You Always🙏
I saw that you posted this yesterday but wanted to wait and watch it with time and a cup of tea. Each year I am blown away by your talent and creativity. This year I want to try and do some dehydrated oranges for my tree. I had seen them a long time ago on trees but hadn't thought of doing it for years. You are right, they look like little stained glass pieces. Marshmallow is so cute. Also, I may be so far behind but I didn't realize that you and Tim were married. My heart felt congratulations. I hope you both have a blessed holiday season, Christopher, and thank you for sharing with us. ❤❤🍁🌲

This is the most breathtaking Christmas Tour on You Tube! It melts my heart how you incorporate the vintage with the new and it works! Your home tour is one the highlights of the Season for me. Thank you for this gift! ❤
Dear Christopher: This was such a beautiful tour of a home that is filled with light, color, and a quiet joy. thanks for sharing.
Very lovely and cozy! What a wonderful home you have! Thank you for sharing, Christopher!
Absolutely breathtaking!!! Utterly fabulous in every way!!! You are even attracting other CZcamsr Designers to your channel. Your camera work was smooth, the music was rich, and everything was so eclectic but you brought everything together homogenously. Outstanding work!!! My only criticism is I wish it lasted longer! Happiest of Holidays to you and Tim... Merry Christmas!!!
Love your home and it's so sweet to hear all the mentions of pieces from your family, who must love Christmas as much as you!

I would love to spend 1 night or maybe a few days at your house and will remember every Christmas deco room. You have many great collections from your grandparents and your mom. Love vintage Xmas postal cards.
Christopher what can I say, you've done it again! Everything is beautiful! I love your home tours because they are full of beautiful things and things with a past. Those items bring your home alive

You are such an inspiration to me - a new “nana”. I just love how close you were with your grandmother! I didn’t live near the one living grandmother I had growing up. I hope I will be as close to my grandchildren (only 1 so far)! We just moved so as to really know her (she’s 14 months!) as she grows. I’ve been watching your videos as we are remodeling this house as well. You’re an inspiration there too! ❤
I know,I know is May but I never get tired of watching yours videos , I sit with my husband and enjoined, look the detail’s, is so beautiful and you gave the perfect voice, thank you so much for sharing! Can wait for this year theme !
So beautiful, as always!! I love the falling snow as well!! It shows that you carefully choose the placement of each decoration!! 🥰🎄🎅🏼☃️
You picked the absolute best day to record with the snow!! Wish we had snow in south Alabama. Thank you for sharing. Absolutely beautiful!
Not only have you created a beautiful holiday home, Chris, but it is warm, welcoming and memories filled. The one of a kind family items make it incredibly meaningful and unique. What are the holidays without remembering our childhood, family and from where we came? You’ve honored Christmas Past while creating new traditions. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. Happiest of holidays to you and yours.
Just makes you want to snuggle up with a hot cocoa! Lovely to watch! A wonderful depiction of what a Christmas Home should be!
Your home is magical. Love the stories of how you collected your Christmas decor. You have everything displayed so elegantly.

Hello Christopher, your house is like something out of a storybook. absolutely breathtaking. I’m looking forward to seeing what you’re able to do this year for Christmas. I’m currently watching your Halloween videos 2023.

Your home is so welcoming and you have a way of sharing your treasures that makes it truly memorable. Merry Christmas to you, Tim and Marshmallow. I will be watching this one many times over the holidays.
