The Homes & Gardens archives are rich with beautiful spaces, and at Christmas, we love nothing more than revisiting the festive homes of years past – those beautifully dressed rooms that instantly make you feel welcome.
'I always find it inspiring to look back at our Christmas house stories – each one captures a unique kind of magic, a moment in time when homes feel at their warmest and most alive,' says Homes & Gardens' editor Jo Bailey. 'My favorite has to be the old vicarage; there’s something truly special about its rustic charm, the texture of the old stone walls, and that magnificent oversized tree standing proudly in the heart of it all. I love how the joyful pops of color dance against the earthy tones of the stone walls – it feels both timeless and exuberant, a perfect reflection of what Christmas decorating should be: cozy, joyful, and full of heart.'
