Deck the halls and snuggle in, it's Christmas Time!!!!

We’ll start in the great room, it’s the place we hibernate all winter long with the wood fireplace and big couch! 

A couple of years ago I took all the red out of my Christmas decor and I was a bit nervous that it wouldn’t feel as festive. But adding in the deep greens, gold accents and twinkle lights everywhere it still looks very festive!  

This Balsam Hill tree is the showstopper of the room. We switched to faux trees 3 years ago after soley having real. The year all the needles fell off my real tree before Christmas was the last year we had a real tree:) I love the fact that this faux looks as realistic as a real tree yet can stay up as long as I want it! 

The ribbon and most of the ornaments are also from Balsam Hill. I loved adding the champagne and mixing and matching golds and silvers. It keeps it looking fancy but yet fun with pom poms and fuzzy white ornaments! 

Last year I took the chair out and had the Christmas tree on the opposite side of the room. This year I decided to move it to this side so we could keep the extra seating and I love how it’s in front of the window now! You can see it when you drive down the driveway twinkling and it makes me so happy:) 

I’ll add as many links as possible at the end, but this gold hammered tree collar is one of my favorites. I love how it balances out the gold floor lamp beside the couch and adds a touch of glam on the bottom of the tree. 

This year for the mantle I decided to mix it up and hang my garland assymetrical. The tree is on the right side so it flows off to the left to balance it out. I used a faux pine garland from Afloral but sadly it’s been sold out for a long time now. The stars were also from Target last year but these gold trees would be a perfect alternative! 

I added these stockings for Ryan and I. The kids have their 4 stockings on the other fireplace but I liked the coziness these added to the mantle. Plus they have pom poms, so major win! 

I also am not sure if you noticed we played musical furniture again and moved this World Market chair in here. Our last chair was so well loved and super comfortable, but we couldn’t clean it good enough anymore and the stains were driving me crazy. It’s also great that this chair swivels so that we can turn it to watch tv! 

And all of the seating has these beautiful boucle deep green pillows on them. The only color you’ll find in here. I love how wintery they are without screaming Christmas so that I can keep them up long after Christmas is over. 

I usually have a faux tree over in this corner by the chair, but since we moved the Christmas tree to the other side, I didn’t have anything to fill the space.  This leaning wood floor mirror was the perfect answer. I love how it reflects the mantle in it, and by adding a command hook with a simple green and bow, it dressed it up for Christmas as well. I used this ribbon which I am so in love with this year. The subtle black and white stripe is the perfect neutral. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Stay tuned, tomorrow I will share the dining room and other living room and continue this Christmas tour!
