It's that time...Christmas time is here! We have been quite busy with traveling and working but I am determined to get some Christmas spirit into the house! As usual I am feeling like less is more though and feel the need for a calming cozy look this year.
We moved the couch that was in our keeping room into the new great room and moved the round table and chairs into the space it was in. On the table are some of the new goodies that I bought on our Thanksgiving visit to Brooklyn.
We went to one of my favorite shops Moon River Chattel for Small Business Saturday, can't beat getting $10 back on your purchase! I bought the homespun hemp runner pictured, it was actually marked as a bath mat but I would never let it touch my bathroom floor, it is way too pretty for that! I knew it would be just the right size for this table and the ones that were actually sold as runners were out of my budget anyways.
The little ironstone pitcher is from the shop Junk, which has a great assortment of odds and ends, some over priced but I found this beauty for a steal!
My favorite stockings are hung in the same place again this year, why mess with a good thing?
They are from Mountain Mamma Designs on Etsy in case you are a new follower.
We plan to get our Christmas tree this weekend, I really wanted to put it in our great room but it is not finished yet. I have found that you have to actually be home to get renovations done:)
Merry Christmas!!!
So beautiful! Love the wood shutter with the wreath!

Your decorating is perfect! I love the stockings, I think I will have to visit that easy shop! Love your farmhouse and the cozy vibe it gives off. Christmas decorating has begun at That Country Place as well...I hope you will stop by for a visit.
ReplyDeletehi there…..I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog……you have some wonderful talent…..I just added your blog to my blog list because I have recently been changing my style from primitive to what I call earthy comfy casual….I still have that love for prim’s and have a few girlfriends that I share their homes on my blog for my prim friends…..but as you can see in my header…my home is a work in progress…and as I love to decorate it is forever changing…hope you will stop by and see how I am doing…..
ReplyDeleteI just love following your blog. I think I "found" you around Christmas time last year. Your home is so beautiful and the Christmas touches just make it perfect. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the simplicity of your home.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so pretty and festive. I love your new table runner and pitcher, what a great finds. Also like the pretty stockings. I have a few things in my home that go in the same place every year also. It's like it's meant to be. Oh, and before I forget, I ADORE the tiny bell on the door. Is it new? Haven't seen it before but I think it's an amazing touch!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your entire style.
ReplyDeleteSo excited to have found your blog. Just gorgeous! I will be renovating a little farmhouse in the mountains of Asheville, NC, next year, and I am sure I will find lots of wonderful ideas from your blog and pinterest.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to find you! Your home is beautiful! I love the neutrals :)
