Christmas at the Cabin

Welcome to Camp Lucky Dog! Decorating this little cabin is always a highlight of the holiday season and this is where we usually spend Christmas so it is full of wonderful memories of our family as it grew through the years.

We completed the renovation of the kitchen last year and I have so enjoyed having this space to cook and bake in. My husband, Billy, has an account on Instagram where he shared pics of the cabin if you want to follow along. I style and take the pics and he shares them so it's a real team effort. You can follow along @campluckydog.

I added a full size tree to the kitchen this year strictly for my own enjoyment. I like to bake my Christmas cookies here so it's nice to have the warm glow of the tree by the fire while I'm doing that.

Of course I always have my #1 helper by my side. Dax love spending time at Camp Lucky Dog too!

The kitchen table is a popular spot at cabin and nothing makes me happier than having all of my kids gathered around this table.

The family room is up next on our list of renovations for 2023. We will be replacing the carpeting with wood and finally getting rid of that popcorn ceiling in here. We will also be re-doing the fireplace wall but I'm not 100% sure exactly what we will do but I do know it will be budget friendly and there will be no trace of that reddish brown brick and brown grout when we are done! We are really excited to get going on that project.

The tree in here is new this year and I love it! It's 9 ft tall and we found it at Home Depot and fills the room and the whole cabin with holiday cheer. I made a log cabin tree topper from an unfinished wood bird house that we painted to match the exterior of our cabin.

I didn't get to take any pics of the cabin the snow yet this year so I'm adding a couple from last year and I'm looking forward to everything looking like this soon.

And finally, here is a peek of our family Christmas card this year. Most of the pictures were taken at the cabin because most of our happiest moments happened here this year throughout all the seasons. Full disclosure, we have had our fair share of struggles this year as all families do. And also? I feel so lucky to be surrounded by so much love and laughter - these kids and my family are my world.

From our family to yours, we wish you a very happy holiday season!

    1. I just love your cabin, we have a small cabin that would probably fit in your living room in the mountains in NC, but feel so blessed to have it, I love your Cabin sign in your kitchen, am looking for one, is it a one of a kind, everything is just perfect, my dream would be to have my family’s Christmas at ours but a little small for 14 of us, Merry Christmas!!🎄

    1. Merry Christmas! Enjoy the decorating process, if you slowly work at building traditions and collecting items that reflect the things you love, your home will end up being just as lovely, but even more so because it will be yours!!

  8. I 100% love it! Love the Susan Branch book open in the kitchen. The red glass-doored cabinet--I have a couple from Target which hold a part of my typewriter collection--love them. The whole space is just eye-candy-lovely-cozy goodness!

  10. Love everything you've done for the holidays! Do you play holiday music or have a holiday movie playing in the background when baking? I sometimes do.......puts one even more in the spirit. As always, thank you for sharing your creativity and home with your readers. Happy Holidays to you/your family!!

  15. Your style of decorating is so much what I like. It's just so pretty. I think you should paint the brick or do a "schmear" on them. I see items in your pictures that I actually own. That gives me ideas as to what to do with them. Love it all!!!

  18. I came across your cabin in Cottages and Bungalows. How very lucky I am to have found you! I am probably now your newest follower. I so love absolutely everything in both homes! I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into making them yours! Would you be willing to share what color of green you used on your kitchen cabinets in your cabin? Soo love it! We are now renovating a cute little cottage in Deadwood, SD. Thanks so much for sharing such inspiring photos!
