This is what our living room looked like for Christmas last year. It was similar to the year before but with a few new additions, including a brand new baby sleeping soundly on the other end of that couch!
This year we'll be in a new house and I'm already starting to imagine where our Christmas tree will fit and how many new wreaths I may need to make to hang in extra doors. We found out that the rental we wanted is ours after we sign the lease this week and I couldn't be happier! I'm itching to go back over to measure windows so I can start making curtains and to be reminded about how big each room is so I can start looking for a new kitchen table, etc.

Rachel

LOVE those little pink Christmas trees! I'm a new reader of your blog and I am super excited about the Christmasy posts. I will be checking regularly of course!
Congratulations on the new home, how exciting! It must be great! I just completed a move of my own, though it was from one small place to another. I'd love to say the work of packing was done, but now is when I think the hard work will really begin, where to put all my stuff!!!

Congrats on your rental Rachel! We are going to be doing the same thing this year as we just got our first home this past spring! All new rooms to decorate for Christmas and beyond. I can't wait to see what you do both for the holidays and your new place!
Congratulations on your new home. Ours is being renovated before we can move in and I am absolutely itching to get started on it. You've made my mind up about a white christmas tree, it's happening here

Happy making!

I'm SOOO excited! Rachel, you're getting me all revved up for the holiday season. And now that the semester is winding down, hopefully I'll have time to work on the Home Ec projects that have sadly been neglected since the summer!
I LOVE your white tree! I hadn't thought about using a white tree until I saw this picture - the look is so great! So retro! Thanks for the inspiration.
And congrats on the new place! I love the energy that comes with living in a new space and letting your imagination run wild.
congratulations on getting your rental! it is always so exciting planning and decorating a new space. can't wait for the holiday posts!
I'm right there with ya on the decorating planning. It's my favorite time of year! And my birthday is on December 3rd which is usually the time I can talk my hubby into letting us get a tree. ;)
Congrats on the new place! Love the vintage ornaments. I've scored quite the collection of Shiny Brites this year, I'm so excited to decorate with them!
All that buzz about Christmas... I can't wait ;)

I found your blog and it is cute! I have a baby too and love crafty things. I am keeping my eye open for a white christmas tree this year. Can't wait to see the guest posts for christmas ideas. Thanks!
OH MY GODDD! Your tree literally looks like the one I've been envisioning in my head since I was about six years old, the one I will have for my first apartment :D Where did you find the white tree? I've been trying to explain to people, I want a WHITE tree, NOT a flocked tree! haha. (:
I found a four foot one at Wal-mart for pretty cheap, but I was thinking I wanted one a bit taller. Please let me know where you found yours! :D!
what a lovely tree!! we use pinks and turquoises for our tree too, but always get a real one because the smell of a real tree is just so nostalgic for me. good luck with all of the packing! how exciting to be moving into a new place!
