Holiday Home Tour

Christmas in Portsmouth, NH

One of the great ways to get ideas for decorating your home is visiting other homes in your area. Several years ago my wonderful Victorian home in Portsmouth, NH was part of the Holiday Home Tour. Jennifer Myers, my decorator/staging friend and I had a wonderful time decorating the house … and then we visited all the other houses the day of the tour.

This year’s Holiday Home Tour is Sunday, December 14th from 1 to 5pm. There are 8 beautiful homes on the self-guided tour that benefits Portsmouth Educational Partnership, a non-profit supporting after school enrichment programs.

They’ve got a really exciting range of homes on this year’s tour:

• An 1817 Federal Townhome in the Strawberry Banke area
• A Middle Street, turn-of-the-century Shingle-style style home built in 1902
• New Englanders built in 1905 and 1907
• One of the three Sears & Roebuck catalogue homes, a bungalow built in 1910
• A 1912 Colonial newly renovated
• A former school for handicapped children, a home on Woodbury Avenue built in 1940
• A brand new Colonial with contemporary architecture, built in 2006

Hope to see you Sunday!
