Canadian House & Home: Sarah Richardson
Christmas at Sarah’s Farmhouse
I’ve long admired Sarah Richardson’s farmhouse, and it was beautifully decorated for Christmas in a recent feature from Canadian House & Home. I missed picking up the magazine itself, even though readers kindly let me know about it, but I did find photos on the magazine’s website to share.

The styling is cozy and thoughtfully layered — classic farmhouse details paired with festive touches. I particularly like a few whimsical elements, like a vintage megaphone placed on the floor; small, unexpected pieces like that add personality and charm to holiday décor.
The Canadian House & Home gallery includes several other inspiring Christmas decorating ideas, from wreaths and mantel displays to table settings and tree arrangements. If you’re planning seasonal decorating, it’s a useful source of visual inspiration without being over the top, showing how traditional and modern pieces can work together to create a warm holiday home.
Beyond the images, Sarah’s approach is a reminder that thoughtful editing and purposeful choices make a home feel welcoming during the holidays. Choosing a few meaningful decorations rather than filling every surface helps maintain calm and focus on what matters most.
Meanwhile, I’ve been reflecting on simplifying and making more room for what matters. I wrote about that theme over at (in)courage, sharing thoughts on having less clutter and more intentional space during the busy season. Creating room — physically and mentally — lets you enjoy the holidays with presence instead of feeling rushed by to-do lists.
If you love farmhouse style or holiday inspiration, the photos from Canadian House & Home are worth a look for ideas you can adapt to your own home: simple swaps, layering textures, and adding a few distinctive accents to give the season a fresh, personal touch.
