My Favorite Christmas Room Decor

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.

    You've decorated this room beautifully Gina..
    I agree, my eyes have also rested on about all the red and green they can handle.

    Love the soft colors and the subtle touch.

    Oh G it is so pretty. Thanks for sharing. I am in love with that white, wire shelf. I would have bought those mercury glass ornies too. They are sweet. Think my fav item of the day is the vintage look snowman. I am crushing on that Qt ;)

    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?
