Christmas in the Family Room

Hi Everyone!  How are you all doing? We are just about done with all of our decorating, now it's on to baking and shopping!  I always seem to think I will get ahead on the shopping part and that never seems to happen! Today we wanted to share my family room decorated for Christmas.

 Holly was my theme in this room!  Denise has ALWAYS loved holly, and she passed that down to me!  We love love love holly!

This is one of my favorite metal trays.  I filled it with some small cedar pics, red berries, and 3 battery operated candles.

This year on this tree I used Nutcrackers, Santas, and you guessed it Holly! 

I used a hanging cedar garland in the middle of the mantel, and two cedar garlands on either side.  I added some holly pics, red berries, and pinecones.  I also used the rice lights on this garland.  I love the rice lights for anything like this because they are so light and they hang nicely!

My favorite holly trees!! I added a red bow at the base.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  We still have a lot to share and hopefully we will be able to get to it!  So stay tuned!!!

Fall Lantern Stand

Hi Everyone!  Today I decorated one of my favorite pieces!  It is a stand that holds 3 lanterns.  It is about 6 feet tall!! 

What I am using is artificial grapevine, long hanging berries, battery operated candles, pumpkin gems, and mesh ribbon!

 

 

 

 

First I took the artificial grapevine and wrapped it around the stand. The artificial grapevine is great for inside because it doesn't make a mess like the real grapevine! It is also so nice to work with it has wire throughout and it will do whatever you want it to! Next we put the orange hanging berries on the stand with the grapevine.

 

Next I filled all of the lanterns with a orange battery operated candle and the pumpkin gems.

 

 

And last I added a mesh bow on top to finish!  I really like the way it turned out!

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by everyone!  :)

 

Top of Dinning Room Hutch

Hope you all had a great weekend! We were busy decorating away for fall this weekend! We have some more ideas for you! This picture below is on top of a dinning room hutch. We used copper pumpkins, with the black rooster and the black lanterns. In the large lantern there is no glass so we put a electric candle with an orange bulb to give it some light, along with a small black lantern and a battery operated candle. You can see how much we LOVE the fall pics. They are so great to add color and warmth to any area that you are decorating, and a lot of times they are easier to work with than a garland. We use them everywhere! We also put a glass vase and filled it with crystalized pumpkins. These are more ways to incorperate your everyday items with each season!

There is much more to come and we will be adding more pictures of the entire hutch once we are done! Happy decorating! :)
