Hello everyone, welcome!
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
Are you enjoying all the Christmas inspiration throughout blogland?
I swear sometimes it makes me wish I had 10 houses to decorate!
I'm going to begin my home tour today in our living room.
I had fully intended on going with a pastel palette
for our living room this year.
However, as I was dreaming of pastel colored sugar plums,
my 16 year old son decided to tell me,
"I prefer traditional red & green for Christmas."
Whaaaat?
Well, suffice it to say, his words stuck in my head.
Since Christmas is all about family,
I thought it best not to disappoint and
this is what I came up with instead.
Santa and his elves....
How I love that ladder from Décor Steals!
Such a versatile piece & perfect for Santa's elves to climb.
Traditional red & green all the way!
I'm not sure if you'll notice from years past, but my
living room used to have a huge entertainment center on
this wall (below) with lots of shelves for décor.
It was a tough decision, but we decided
it was time for something new. I love this new look
and I don't even mind that I now have a lot less
space to add décor.

I will return with more of my
Christmas Home Tour during the week.
Thanks for stopping by!
How fun to see a Christmas post from you, Gina. I do remember the unit you had there before. This is a much 'cleaner' look and I bet the room looks a whole lot bigger.

Kids can be real motivators to keep us trying different things. I love that you went for a bright, fun look. While your son isn't young, this might be his wanting to hang on to long ago memories. I love your tree and some of the larger ornaments-those pink flowers are precious!
