Living Room Christmas Tour 2019

Blog· Holiday· Home Tour

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I hope you guys are enjoying the season so far, I know its a busy one for most. Typically, we get a real tree and all is well in our world…but this year we are team faux. We went to the tree farm, our usual tradition, and had a great time but we accidentally bought a half-dead tree! Yes, a half-dead tree. All I can do is laugh about it. The farm was covered in a blanket of beautiful white snow so when we picked our tree we were looking at its perfect height and shape. It appeared to be a great size and full enough for our living room. I don’t really like a huge plump tree in our space because it will take over, so about 7 ‘ and fairly slim works well. The tree is healthy on one side and then only halfway up on the other. Could we still use it? Probably. However, I am not comfortable stringing lights on a dry tree.

In order to add a fresh scent and a nice touch of vibrancy to the faux tree, I added a couple of bundles of fresh cedar. It is really cheap, can usually be found locally and looks fantastic! I simply placed them into the tree under my flocked branches to increase the number of layers to make it full. It is incredibly quick and easy. I also added a branch to my mantle for an asymmetrical touch to balance each side of the room and draw the eye across. I usually place a faux garland across the entire mantle but I wasn’t loving that idea this year. I wanted a ‘less is more’ look and with a very curious toddler, I thought it may just be pulled down anyway.

Little cedar sprigs can also be added to a bow for a natural green touch on a gift.

I put up a poll on my Insta stories last week to see who thought the garland was asymmetrical or incomplete…the results were split 55/45. There were a few more who see the new garland trend out there this year…asymmetrical.

I hope you guys like the quick tour I put together. It is quite simple but just right for this year. I especially love the living room at night. The glow of the tree lights and the candle make it feel so cozy and warm.

If you have any questions you can comment below, email me , or even reach out on any of my social channels (Instagram  | Twitter | Facebook | Pinterest).

It would be great to hear from you!

I haven't shared our dining room because well...the safety railing across the back door, no light fixture and our desperate need for new chairs (these ones are toast!) but how can I not share this view today. We plan on getting outside to enjoy the fresh air and snow. I hope you guys enjoy your day!
