Christmas Tour Finale


Welcome to the finale Merry & Bright Tour!  This is the family room where all of the color resides.



At night.
(I realize that the lighting in the following photos isn't the best.  It's difficult to get good lighting in this room.  It has east and south windows, it seems the afternoon light is the best, but I really didn't want to have a "photo session" with everyone at home.)





Originally, I didn't have any red at the top of the entertainment center.  One of the Chicks made the comment that it looked too plain, so in came the red.  I like it!



The wreath is leaning against a basket.



The bottom two right shelves have decor absolution, just sayin'.






At Santa's feet there is a combination Polly Pocket/Hamtaro village happening.  I had to keep this part real - children/Christmas.  Fun-Sized Chick also dangled the snowman sled from Santa's arm, I guess that what all well-accessorized Santas are wearing this season!

    Your tree looks wonderful! I am loving the garland.

    Overwhelmed? I am just trying to ignore that feeling this year.

    Everything is so pretty and festive! I also am having problems photographing my decorations and tree. I need either a new camera and/or a new photographer or both. :-D
    Have a great week.

    I love your color palette! Is that garland looped around your tree? It is amazing! I love your tv cabinet. I don't think I have seen it before! I like how you put the wreath up. It looks great!

    Decor absolution? I love it! At the moment, a good portion of my house can claim decor absolution!
    Everything looks so pretty! I love the overflowing bowl on your coffee table! So fun and colorful!
