Everyone is home for the holidays in this gingerbread house filled with fun festive faces. All of the personalities are here! There’s nothing like hustle and bustle of a chaotic house, busting at the seams with gingerbread people, to make it feel like Christmas.
At the time that I created this modern farmhouse gingy, we were building our own “farmhouse” in the country, so country livin’ was on my mind. Additionally, a construction boom in our area resulted in modern farmhouses popping up everywhere. So basically the signs were all pointing to making a modern farmhouse gingy!
This penguin’s cottage gingerbread house is a favorite of my kids. The whimsical penguins add delight to this happy house, and the colorful stone covered walls and chimney add style to this cute cottage. Let your imagination run wild, dreaming of a penguins waddling around the North Pole getting ready for Christmas.
This gingerbread house is a whole mood. When I see it, I just imagine driving to a little cabin in the mountains where you can curl up with a warm blanket by a cozy fire, sipping a hot toddy and reading a good book. Who doesn’t want to escape the holiday hustle and bustle every once in a while. The red truck is so nostalgic and has become a favorite Christmas symbol. If I had a cabin like this, I would definitely want a classic vintage red truck to go with it!
This gingerbread house is all colors and cuteness. I thought I would go with a bright cheerful color scheme instead of sticking to traditional Christmas colors.
What could be more uptown than a brownstone complete with Scottie dogs and a magenta, apple green and yellow color scheme. This gingerbread house just screams fun in the city! It reminds me of fun festive shopping days and the bright lights all over the city.
This gingerbread house is one of my favorites. Actually, probably my very favorite. It was inspired by a trip my husband and I took to Europe. This was before we had kids and we were strolling down the beautiful cobblestone walkways and browsing through all of the shops. We were in Germany and came across a beautiful little clock shop where I saw a gorgeous cuckoo clock that resembled this one.
