What a weekend!
I don’t know about you but we’ve been having a fun time decorating for the Christmas Season.
Let me show you our white and red Family Room.
Ready for a tour?
The focal point of this room is the mantel and the fireplace area.
I started with this untraditional wreath that I found over at Home Goods.
I love the natural and organic feeling of it and the fact that I could use all year long.
I think it works perfectly in this space.
The rest of the accessories came from Target.
Most of them are ornaments that I used to bring texture and pops of color.
I also used a bunch of outdoor natural elements such as these wooden sticks that we collected
in the beautiful shores of the North West.
I kept all the stocking in classic white and red colors.
This way I can use them year after year even if I change the decor.
My sweet good friend Wanda Ann from Memories by The Mile surprised me
on Thanksgiving with this gorgeous Poinsettia.
It was the perfect size and vibrant red to give the fireplace some needed love.
Simple, fresh and cozy… exactly what I pictured before.
As a center piece for the table I used as a tray an old sled that I have had for years.
It is rusty, rustic and in my eyes simply perfect.
I used some old cups to hold yummy Christmas Candy Canes.
I love this sled!
Since you can see the trees in the background let me go there.
Our family room has three small trees inspired by one of our favorite Christmas stories
The Tale of Three Trees.
We chose simple wood snowflakes and a few other ornaments to accessorize
our Christmas Trees… Take a look!
Right by the Christmas Trees there is a sofa table that I decorate every season.
This year I found over at my Thrift Store this cute metal Christmas Tree for just $2.
OK, it used to be brown but a little spray paint did the trick.
Guess what?
The snow flakes are actually table confetti that I found at Wal-Mart for just $1.50.
An easy and affordable way to decorate miniature Christmas trees!
I always like to make this table kid friendly so this year I made a wood nativity for the kiddos.

My Mimi loves to play with it all day long!
Let me see… what else am I missing?
The other wreath!
I wish I could take credit for this cuteness but I actually bought it at Target.
I believe is would have cost me more than $18 to make one,
so this DIY believer went shopping!
Now something that I made was the pillows.
I love the reindeer fabric… so cute!
And I think with that I finished the tour of our Christmas ready Family Room.
I’ll be showing you our dining room and entry soon.
Have you decorated yet?
The outside lights are next for us!
Thank you for stopping by today.

Wow, it looks fabulous…loving all the pops of red!
so so pretty Desi!! love it all. 🙂
Beautiful! The DIY nativity is adorable, please share the tutorial – I know it’s super simple but I’m always interested where people found their supplies and the reindeer fabric is fantastic!
Love this Desiree! Everything you touch must just turn to awesome! : )
Thank you so much Ashley… Have a wonderful week!
I love this look! So cheery and merry – a perfect holiday look! I’m still trying to figure out what direction to go with my holiday decor this year. I have a lot of blue in my house, and I think I need to go in a little different direction than my usual red and green. Love what you’ve done here!
Thank you Jenny! Perhaps some red will look great with the blue.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been wanting to do a re-vamp of our usual decor for a while now. I think with our move & the fact that we will now have a cabin, it’s the perfect opportunity to do it this year. I absolutely adore your trees!!!!!
Hi Gina!
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving… How cool to move into a cabin. It sounds so cozy!
What can I say…it is amazingly gorgeous and oh so fresh and full of life! Thank you so much for sharing with us! It is giving me a big smile to start the day! Hugs!
Andrea my good friend, how was your long weekend?
Yesterday I found your ornament from last year and I could not believe how fast time has gone and how blessed I am to have you as a friend.
Love you to pieces!
I love the red and white. Simple yet beautiful! I wish I had your couches… I love decorating but am stuck with olive green couches that we can’t afford to replace any time soon. Oh well! I really like the wood wreath too. 🙂
Megan,
We’ve had this couches for almost 7 years and I ove them. They are so easy to clean and I can change our decor around them all the time.
Anyways, thank you so much for stopping by this morning and saying hi!
I love all of the red and white! I’m trying to keep it a little more natural in the living room, and aqua, white, and red in the breakfast nook 🙂
Thank you Jessica! Have a wonderful week…♥
Oh my goodness! If that doesn’t motivate me to get out my Christmas decorations (and paint my walls white, and use all red and white, lol) then nothing will! It’s just beautiful Desirée! Very well done! Now I’m off to go get that sleigh I saw at the antique mall the other day. 😉

Debbie,
I got our sleigh years ago after Christmas and I love it! You can do so much with them.
