Tour our Christmas family room and many others in our 2021 blogger Holiday Home Tour!
I'm joining in with some lovely home decor bloggers this week to showcase
different rooms in our home.
Thank you to Jenny of
Evolution of Style
and the lovely ladies from
11 Magnolia Lane
for hosting!
Today we're sharing family rooms -- hello to those of you visiting from
Rachael at
This is our Bliss!:
Be sure to continue on the tour by following along at the end of this
post!
Our family room is always one of my favorite spots to decorate for the
holidays, and for some reason it's usually the first room I tackle.
I have tried and true decorating methods for our stair railings, mantel
and Christmas tree...and they haven't failed me yet!
Check out the links under the photos to check out some of my best tips!
I always include the same "ingredients" -- various greenery, berries and
ornaments -- but I like to change up the look slightly from year to
year.
I rarely buy new ornaments, but instead use specific colors more than
others year to year. This year I wanted to tone things down just a bit and
used a combination of green, gold and a few burgundy touches.
Our family room has soaring ceilings and a tall fireplace, so it's not an
easy task to make this room feel cozy and warm...but I think I've
accomplished it!
We love this space so very much! I hope you enjoy the family room
Christmas tour!

Aren't those little reindeer feed bags adorable?? They're ornaments from the
Target dollar spot. I snagged the last few just today!
I went with the asymmetrical look for the mantel this year...and if you know
me you know how hard that was. ;)

These
adorable little brass bells
are the perfect accent to Christmas decor:
It was hard for me to not tie them onto everything this year!
Our stair railing garland is one of those things that I change up just a bit
every year -- sometimes I swag it, sometimes I wrap.
This year I was feeling the wrap. :) I added some berry picks and simple
ribbon:

The garland was from the Hearth and Hand line years ago and I haven't seen
it since.
It's a shame because it's really lovely! (And was affordable as well.)
This tall tree is my husband's favorite...every year when we're putting it
up I'm begging for a shorter one and he's grinning from ear to ear:
He's absolutely giddy when we pull it out every year!
We moved our furniture around just a bit so we were able to put the tree
right in the middle of the windows instead of off to the side like the past
few years.
We kept asking each other why it took us so long to figure this out:
We LOVE the change...it showcases the tree so much better!
It feels so much more open this way, even with the added holiday decor:

I literally NEVER move furniture around, so it's fun to have a different
layout for a bit.
I may have to move something else now. :)

We just love this layout!
As you can see, I took pics in both daylight and at night. It's hard to pick
a favorite!:
By the way...no, we don't usually put a topper on this tree. I already risk
my life decorating the top third of it. 😂
I used a lot of ribbon in our decor this year and LOVE it.
I tied this
velvet burgundy ribbon
and this
velvet ribbon in a camel color
to the Christmas tree branches.
It turned out so pretty!:
The ribbon and berry picks filled it in nicely so I didn't hang nearly as
many ornaments as usual:
We love how open this room is, but also love that it still feels warm and
cozy.
The giant tree feels right at home!:
Thank you so much for joining me for our Christmas family room tour!
Now say hello to my friend
Jennifer from Dimples and Tangles and check out her family room as well. :)

It looks wonderful, Sarah! I think the garland is perfect--loved the ribbons on it, too. I also noticed the symmetry of the lights and mirrors on either side of your fireplace--gorgeous! Thanks for touring with us, and Merry (early) Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always! I love how warm and cozy your home is - even more so now that it's decked out for the holidays! So glad you could join the tour this year!!
ReplyDeleteThis room looks so beautiful Sarah! I love the sparkling tree against the dark fireplace wall, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour blog was the first blog I ever followed. I continue to enjoy seeing all the great decor and inspiration. I absolutely love your Christmas decor. Love the ribbon on the tree. Did you just knot the ribbon on the branch? Also, what kind of ribbon did you use on your mantel? Stunning and so magazine worthy.
ReplyDeleteLove the mantle…do you have a source for the Christmas balls on the mantle? Love the satin finish and colors…thanks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always Sarah. Love the reindeer and felt coasters. Not seeing a link for those, but I love them and I'm hoping they are available somewhere??

I love your enthusiasm!!! Thanks for the ribbon link, I ordered ribbon from the site, out of stock but I will keep it for next year. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, as usual! I have the same rug as you do and am wondering if your fireplace wall is still painted in Cyberspace and where you found the dark pillows on your sofa? Thanks!
