This little room that sits next to my dining room is a favorite of mine. I never know what to call it though...sitting room, dining room, living room...what is it exactly?
I always love to decorate for Christmas in this room. I think it's the soft colors that I enjoy. It's restful after having so many traditional reds and greens in the rest of the house.
Let's take a look, shall we?
To the left, on my vintage blue dresser, is my mercury glass collection. I know I've already shared this with you, but I wanted to include it again since it's part of this room.
To the right, are my white wire shelves. I added some bottle brush trees, ornaments, a glittery bird and of course, more mercury glass.
I fell in love with these ornaments, from Hobby Lobby.
On my end table, I have this sweet Christmas cottage. I paired it with a bottle brush tree.
And finally, we have my coffee table vignette.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my favorite little room decked out for Christmas.
Thanks for visiting and I hope you are stress-free this week as we wait for the big day to arrive.

IT ALL looks just beautiful, Gina, but I have to say that I am IN LOVE with that little sugared house! If I ever visit make sure you hide it so I am not tempted to shove it under my coat and walk out with it!;>) xo Diana

I would call this room "Gina's Room!" It is decorated delightfully. That vintage looking snowman is the cutest that I've seen. I was just wondering, what is the significance of the date 1933 on your wonderfully decorated white shelf?
ReplyDeleteLove the silver and mercury glass with the blue! Looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSharon
oh gina.. I love every room in your house. You have such a gift ~ how 'bout spreading the love, come to Baltimore and redecorate this mess! : )
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sweeet birthday wishes.
