Christmas in the Family Room

Hope every one's week is going well.  Mine has been filled with decorating for Christmas inside and out.  I thought I'd share a few pics from my family room first.  I don't go over the top, inside my house, during Christmas (I save that for outside).  Ha!  I guess, since my house isn't huge, I feel like it gets cluttered very quickly.  So, I keep my decorating to a few key areas of the house.  One of them is, of course, the fireplace mantel.

This year, I decided to go very neutral.  I used a lot of natural decorative elements on the mantel and throughout the house.  My color scheme is green, beige, white, silver, chocolate brown and copper.   I used a lot of pine cones, feathers and burlap ribbon this year.

I actually had everything already except for the burlap ribbon!

The kids stockings are from Ballard's (where else).

I bought them several years ago and have really enjoyed them.

Because our tree had to go in the front sitting room area, I had to rearrange the furniture a bit.  The wing back chair moved in here for now.

I added some burlap ribbon to a pillow in my basket too.

I have this stuff everywhere!  It's on my tree and staircase banisters and some wreaths.  I'll show you those in another post.

On the chest, I just added a little sparkle with a glass bowl filled with white and silver ornaments.

Next up I will show you my tree!
