When Christmas-decorating day descends upon Down Home Fab co-host Cole DeBoer, he wakes up and starts stretching out his body. “Because I know it’s going to be a workout,” he says. Cole’s wife and co-host Chelsea DeBoer always has a vision. This year, she wanted to bring the outside in — and, of course, the design duo delivered. Rustic touches, natural finishes and classic Chelsea-DeBoer-edge come together in the couple’s modern-and-minimal Christmas-cabin wonderland. (Cole’s stretching definitely paid off.) Let’s take a look around.

“I like a more minimal look for Christmas,” says Chelsea. “But we all need a major centerpiece on our dining room tables.” This one boasts an oversized wooden bowl filled with faux garland and pinecones. Strings of coastal wooden beads from Sweet Harvest Designs add modern charm, as do the pair of bronze-finished reindeer candle holders from Pottery Barn.

Christmas Day is busy for the DeBoers. “We bop around and visit my family and Cole’s,” says Chelsea. “But Christmas Eve is the one night we sit at the dining table — just us and the kids — and enjoy quality family time together.” They don their Christmas pajamas, make cookies and eat soup. (Last year it was chicken wild rice in a bread bowl. This year they’re trying out a new recipe: prime rib.)

The high-ceilinged pinnacle of the DeBoer Christmas camp boasts two towering faux trees; wickless taper candles displayed on brass holders; reindeer motifs; and a thoughtful layering of various fuzzy fabrics (velvets, faux fur, wood and marble). The final space is a moody, warm and inviting haven. “This is where it all goes down,” says Cole. “I can’t wait to get the presents under the tree."
