Jennifer houghton dallas

Although we're used to breaking out a few spring decor items around April, we've never seen Easter decorations like the ones filling this beautiful Texas home before. Interior designer Jennifer Houghton of Turtle Creek Lane decorates her Dallas home for every holiday — even ones that don't get as much decor attention as Halloween or Christmas — with her five kids in mind.

I never do the same thing twice. As I'm doing my decorations, I usually, honestly, have my kids in mind, but I just love that I can share what I love to do with my family and with my friends.

And, although Jennifer goes all out in her home at the holidays, she encourages others to express their holiday cheer and celebrations in a way that fits their lifestyle. You can buy little plastic eggs, and do the cutest things with plastic eggs, with jelly beans, things that are inexpensive. But she's never really finished, anyhow. Her five-bedroom, nine-bathroom University Park home has to be the most decorated home we've ever seen in Dallas at Christmastime.

In each room of her sprawling home, Houghton focuses on a new theme, whether that's classic gold and red in the living room or pink trees and gingerbread men in the kitchen. She counts three large trees and four small ones inside her home. But that's nothing compared to the 45, lights she has, inside and out. Houghton uses many of the same decorations every year but says she never decorates a room the same as she did the year before.

Houghton offered a few tips for a novice decorator who aspires to go big on Christmas:. See more of Houghton's work on Instagram at turtlecreeklane or on her blog.
