I am honored to host you for a Christmas tour of our 180 year old farmhouse, Fieldstone Hill. I wish we were walking around here together, sharing a cup of eggnog and chatting, but until that day, it is so nice to have you here for a fun little blogland tour.
This year, I loved every minute of decking the halls with boughs of holly, and I will admit, it is a small miracle that I am finished already! I hope you enjoy Christmas at Fieldstone Hill:
It is so much fun to visit our far-away friends’ homes for Christmas. I am sharing tours of Fieldstone Hill this season via these gracious blogland hosts {some tours have started, some are starting soon. When they start, the links will go live}: Melissa at the Inspired Room, The Cottage Magpie, the Nester at Nesting Place, Julia at Hooked on Houses, Gina at Shabby Creek Cottage, Kelly at Kelly’s Korner, and Jennifer Rizzo. A special Thank you and Merry Christmas to all of the hostesses! Please do stop by these wonderful blogs and enjoy the fun of peeking in on so many beautifully decorated homes!
May you live with beauty, inside and out, this Christmas. Merry Christmas to all, from all of us at Fieldstone Hill.

Hi Darlene. Your home looks so beautiful I love your twist on the wreath over the mirror — it looks great above it! I can picture a big family gathering. Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing your home.
Carol, thank you so much for coming over! Thank you for your kind words! Merry Christmas.
Its all very beautiful! and LOVE all the stonework in your home! Have a Merry Christmas!!
thank you amanda! and thank you for coming over for the home tour. May you have the merriest of Christmases!
Your home looks beautiful and festive! Our home is 121 years old, and I just love old homes, theres so much character. Merry Christmas!
Oh, how wonderful! Don’t you just love old homes? It’s an illness! Thank you for coming over for the tour. May you have a blessed holiday!
Love the white pine garland. I simply must do a loose drapey garland next year!
So are the grapefruit ornaments the ones you made last year or did you recreate them fresh? Just curious if they would last that long. I bet they do smell divine.
Thank you for your sweet words, brianna, and for coming over for the tour! No, the grapefruits are made fresh each year. We toss each year’s grapefruits out with the tree at the end of the season. Now, all of us have come to adore the soft smell of drying grapefruits… it is a part of our Christmas.
Merry Christmas!!!!! May you be blessed!
So beautiful Darlene! I love those little stockings. Thanks so much for sharing your palace 🙂
Thank you so much, Jessica! I think the little stockings you are talking about are the ones from Russia. Our Russian exchange “daughter” gave them to us, and they are so special to us!
Oh girl, you gave me goosebumps from the first picture and then finished it off with a giggle. Your pictures and your home a absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!

Darlene,
Everything looks so great. I knew from the moment I saw the wreaths on the door that this was going to be one festive house, and it was. I love all the greenery, and will be popping to the florist on my way home – you have inspired me to add more natural elements.
Pru
Pru! Merry Christmas! And thank you, as always, for your kind kind words! Have you added any greenery?

Oh, Darlene…this is so special. Your home is amazing and you have dressed it so beautifully. Thank you for letting me peek inside. Your style affirms MANY of my decorating choices…choices I made just because I love them, but have always wondered if my home is old fashioned (because I am an old lady 🙂 God bless you in your work and ministry. I am a follower but caught you over at Roo today.
Your home is beautiful inside and out! There’s nothing like history to make a home feel especially warm, welcoming and rich with thoughts of yesteryear. Thanks for letting us come in!
