lets move onto the Christmas decor tour of the family room. I don't know if anyone will ever look at these but I am feeling better just getting this all in here so thanks for making me put forth the effort! LOL
There is nothing Christmasy about this one but I just love my beach glass backsplash tile, it is a bit more blue-green IRL. To the left is an opening over the sink that looks into the family room.
This basket that I found at Home Goods and resembles some sort of fish trap, very beachy...lives on the coffee table and changes with the seasons very touchable for the kids and unbreakable. The albums contains 6x6 scrapbook layout of kids on Santa's lap starting with Lisa in 1968, adding Geoff in 1971, Alex in 1998 and Todd in 2002 until the present, we are ready for volume 2.
the roll top desk was also oak and got a white distressed makeover last year.
The TV will be hanging on the wall and be lower than the window tomorrow and that ugly black plastic stand will go. I did change the autumn pics out of the Ikea shadow box frames over the rocker and replace them with Christmas photos of the boys.
Thanks for joining me on my Christmas tour!
Here is one last shot that Lisa took of my precious boys today with Santa. I wish all of you a wonderful holiday and a blessed and healthy new year!
Donna, So very pretty..so elegant. I am thinking that those two boys of yours have really really grown up. I know you enjoy the holiday and your house will be bustling with activity. Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas.
