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.

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!
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.
Maureen, thank you so much for visiting today. I can’t wait to add fresh greens here at home too, just like Pam has done. Merry Christmas!
Thank you Penny! I love every single room in Pam’s house too…it’s beautiful. She is such a talented designer.
Congrats to the winner. I loved every room in her home. How beautiful!!
That should have read fresh in green in the décor!!
What a beautiful home! I love the use of all the fresh greens both indoors and out. Simply stunning Christmas tree. And, I adore the kitchen too!!
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.
Merry & Blessed Christmas to you both!
It’s like walking into a beautiful Christmas dream! From the front of the house to the Christmas tree to the kitchen, it is as lovely and inspiring as can be.
Thank you for sharing this holiday inspiration, Lidy.
Merry Christmas.
I agree Carolann. That describes how I feel about Pam’s magical home exactly! I hope you are having a lovely week.
