Start at Home: Tour Of My Living Room

Welcome to our home!

I don't have a formal living room....they seemed to always collect dust and I needed an office. So we converted our living room into an office. It was the perfect solution for us, and I really love having it here!

This photo is taken with my back to my front door, so this picture gives you a better idea of how my house is laid out. On the other side of my gallery wall is our dining table! I do love how open our main floor is, you can be in any room and know what is going on around you.

I didn't go too crazy with my Christmas decor this year, but I wanted to added touches of Christmas to each room.

We have never had a place to hang stockings before or matching stockings for that matter. You can imagine my excitement to now have stockings and a place to hang them! I refinished this shelf and added some hooks. I also made these stocking out of linen and lace!

I love this advent calendar. I fill each door with either a treat or a fun Christmas activity, like draw your grandparents a Christmas picture or sing a Christmas Carol to your neighbors. My girls have loved it and it has helped to contain the excitement.

And of course I have to sneak in some fresh flowers, especially in the winter. They help with the dreary days, and who doesn't love cinnamon scented pinecones. They smell so delicious!
