Thank you for your comments on my Christmasy front porch! This is the third year I've hung the skates on the front door and so far no broken glass (fingers crossed!).
Today, I am showing you around our livingroom.
Our village nativity set is on top of our entertainment center.
Along with a lamp, cinnamon stick candles, a small cottage...
and woodland deer.
I bought a roll of live greenery at Walmart for under $9.00 and used it on the mantle, fireplace, entryway, kitchen hutch and front porch.
A cozy corner and a basket of our favorite Christmas books.
We had fun decorating our tree with gold ribbon, red bows, favorite ornaments and lots of candy canes.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit!
Your livingroom decorations are gorgeous. I think my favorite, though, is the dog lounging on the house. It just says "home" to me. :)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! That live greenery says Christmas through and through! Love your decor!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely is that Kelli? We are still redecorating our sitting room, and no decorations will go up before the weekend I fear. The tree will go up very last moment as we are waiting till Tam comes home so they can dress the tree together as they always have. I see you have my FAVOURITE quilt on display too. I intend to make one for our bed (in my "spare" time!)
ReplyDeleteEverything's so pretty, Kelli. And the puppy resting her little head on the couch is so cute. Thanks for sharing it all! :)
ReplyDeleteThat dog has it made!...lol I love your Christmas decorations Kelli! Everything looks warm and homey as always. =o)
ReplyDeleteIt all looks beautiful, and the dog is the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteIt's just beautiful! I love your decorations.
ReplyDeleteLove the stockings hung by the chimney with care!

oh so beautiful - cosy for a cold day/night to just sit in and relax!
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing us. Very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteAlfazema
Kelli, obviously we don't celebrate Christmas, but I love your living room - so cozy and inviting.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks wonderful....I love you iceskates on the door....I want some old ones! You don't see them much here. Beth
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures. My question is that with little ones how long does it stay so neat? I am no way near as neat as you. When I take my pictures to share it has to exclude the messy scenes. When I was a stay at home mom I used to tell my kids "Make your room look like the front on a magazine cover" Ha Ha. They remember those days when I used to the play the game of how many things can you pick up. They would count every little fork and washcloth they folded to win a prize.
ReplyDeleteYour living room looks beautiful. Love the tree...and the puppy. Your blog is always inspirational.
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures...I know how hard it is to get good ones as I have been trying. Happy Holidays.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Kelli! Perfect for Christmas! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and peaceful Kelli!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your front door as well.
I used to hang a pair of old skates alongside a old wooden sled...
thank you for sharing each day!
Your tree is lovely as so the village. The stockings are hung and love the PEACE.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli! Everything looks sooooo lovely. Really!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see that Daisy is resting. We had a hard time keeping our dog down after she got spayed. She was a wild little puppy and we ended up taking her back to the vet because her little tummy got all swollen. It was nothing serious. He just said to keep her quiet. HE! HE!
Thanks for sharing you lovely, homey living room. Debbi
Your decorations are beautiful. I wish we could hang our stocking by the wood stove but we don't have a mantle. Sadie would love to go in our livingroom but with her shedding so much that is one room that's off limits to her.
ReplyDeleteJudy
It looks so cozy. :) I love the puppy dog on the couch. Looks strangely like my house.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks beautiful and so festive. I love red ribbons and candy canes. So do my kids!!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks simply lovely Kelli! Your living room is so warm and cozy. I think your puppy is enjoying your Christmas decor very much! Not much of a puppy anymore though!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, I think I like the scene under the lamp best. You've reminded me to get out my children's Christmas books to display. I do have an old board game called Santa's Special Delivery that I've brought down from the attic.
ReplyDeleteLovely!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a warm and lovely home you have all decked out for Christmas. Thanks for inviting us in.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Sorry I havent been commenting as much..I am trying to catch up on blog reading this morning. Your decorations are beautiful as usual..so Inspiring. I love the sleighs and the Ice Skates on the door are adorable..

ReplyDeleteHow festive it all looks!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Kelli -
ReplyDeleteYour living room looks so peaceful. It's easy to see what you and your family value most at this time of year. A roll of live greens at WalMart? I didn't know - I'll have to check that out. Maybe not for this year but now I've got an idea for next year. ~Adrienne~
Wow, looks like something out of a magazine such as Better Homes & Gardens. Beautiful, and so tranquil!
ReplyDeleteLooks like our dog (Marley)lounging on your sofa. What breed is yours? We think ours is a Golden Retreiver mix (drop off)tht found us.
BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful house!!!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely, Kelli! I especially love your little woodland deer!
ReplyDeleteEverything is so sweet!! It feels like Christmas in your livingroom!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!!
Kelli,
ReplyDeleteYour living room looks so beautiful! I especially love the PEACE stocking holders.
Your Golden Retriever just needs a Christmas bow! I will say yours looks quite content on your couch. I love retrievers; they are so loving; just hard to keep dry. We had a Golden Retriever and now we have a yellow Lab Retreiver.
Love the pictures,
Miriam :)
Just beautiful Kelli.
ReplyDeleteYour house looks lovely all decorated up for Christmas.

Oh you have a lovely Christmas home! I am so impressed. We are in Southern Arizona so it is so hard to get in the decorating spirit here, sad but true. Like others I love your dog there laying on the couch, it brings a warth and realness to your home. Just beautiful!!

ReplyDeleteIt is all so gorgeous, homey and comfortable-looking. I love the lamp on the entertainment center. I always stick holly or berries or something on the lampshades! So fun.
ReplyDeleteNancy
So cozy and inviting! Where did you find the berry garland that you put around the top of your lampshade? I'd love to find some to decorate with!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your living room is fabulous! I have that same Home Interior picture over your mantel! Great minds think alike! LOL Be blessed!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful living room!! It's so warm and inviting! Love the pup sleeping on the couch!
