MERRY & BRIGHT
those are the perfect words to describe this gorgeous Holiday Southern Home Tour.
Designer Pam Kelley is allowing us to take a peek into her beautiful home decorated for the holidays.
You might have been introduced to Pam here >
as part of my “Brilliant Friends” series, I’ll be honest, Pam IS brilliant!
The outside of her home already makes you want to see m o r e ….
doesn’t it?!
Wait until you see her home dressed for the holidays…I’ll confess, I always tell her I want to move in.
And so will you.
The front porch is dressed for holiday cheer with garlands, and a stunning Christmas wreath.
Worth emulating: the pillows with the house number printed on them.
Such a clever idea.
Once you are inside, you will love everything.
Pam’s style is traditional, with a mix of English and French antiques.
{exactly what I love and sell at FrenchGardenHouse.}
This cozy seating area is made for the holidays.
The perfect place to watch a Christmas movie classic
with a cup of hot chocolate or a glass of French champagne in hand.
Pam’s genius at decorating a gorgeous holiday tree is evident!
Her decorations are a sublime mix of color, texture, new, and old ornaments.
Each one shines in its special spot on the tree.
Tucking in antique Christmas postcards is a dazzling way
to add another layer of beauty to discover in the tree.
Not to be outdone by the glittering ornaments,
the gifts are wrapped with great care
and touches of metallics.
Pam and I share a love for antique English Staffordshire pottery.
And antique French Old Paris Madonna’s.
The mantel in the formal living room is dressed for the holidays.
Blue and white porcelains are the perfect base for
the sumptuous layers of green and red accents.
The dining room table is set for a delightful dinner with family –
ready for making precious memories of Christmas spent together.
The majestic gilded mirror over the sideboard
reflects the embellished chandelier beautifully.
I know. I better hurry.
Because by now all of you want to move in with Pam.
Let’s take a look into the kitchen.
Outside in the back, it’s a Southern gardener’s delight!
The back door is as welcoming as the front.
Enhanced with seasonal greens, magnolia branches, and festive twinkling lights,
it is a joy to come outdoors.
But honestly, the inside of Pam’s home is so enchanting
I’d never want to leave.
I hope you have enjoyed this tour of Pam’s gorgeous Southern home for the holidays.
A HUGE thank you to Pam, for her gracious Southern hospitalty
and for allowing us all to tour her home and garden.

Pam’s home is a Christmas wonderland, I love everything about it! The silver piece on the kitchen island is spectacular. I see it has a tap & I’m wondering what it’s used for? It’s a true statement piece.
The tree is so lovely packed with ornaments. I always have a problem getting all the ornaments I want on the tree. This year, at a special request from my husband, I completely changed the look of my tree. I used glittering wide mesh ribbon and glass ornaments in white & platinum colors, some with pearls & some with vintage glitter designs. I must say it sparkles like diamonds & we absolutely love it! It’s so fun to create our “wonderlands” and transform our homes, small or large, into a different look. Thanks so much for sharing Pam’s beautiful home, Lidy.

Ohhh myyyy! What a lovely home! I absolutely love the rich layers of textures and colors that Pam used throughout her home for this beautiful holiday season! Stunning! She created such an elegant look yet it all feels warm, cozy and inviting.
Her silver pieces are amazing, I really like how she has added beautiful fresh greens in so many places. The little bottle brushes on the dining room table are adorable. What a beautiful tour. Bravo, Pam! Thank you for sharing this beauty, Lidy.

Oh my how absolutely gorgeous! My favorites are the first and last pics because you know how much I love plants and naturals but I can also really appreciate all of Pam’s gorgeous traditional decor and collectibles. It’s truly enchanted.
Just gorgeous! All of it! I’m loving that bakers rack out the back door. Makes me want to move to a warmer climate (that and the 30 degree temps here lately)! And the tinsel on the tree!!! A woman after my own heart!
Wow, I love Pam’s home, it is all absolutely gorgeous! What beautiful pics too, such a wonderful display of Christmas inside and out. My favorite kind of home: warm, inviting, with color and collected over time.

Pam has created an enchanting home. I love the simplicity of the exterior… so classic and inviting… both front door and back and I could live on the patio. It’s too hard to pick a favorite, but I do love her old fashioned looking Christmas tree… right down to the tinsel. Thanks for giving us such a lovely tour of Pam’s home, Lidy!
What a beautiful home! It has such a classic style.
