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.

ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteOH 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. (:
ReplyDeleteI 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!
