Simple Holiday Touches (Living Room 2014)

Hi, everyone!  I recently showed you my 'new' living room, here and here.

Now that I've dressed it up for the holidays, I'm showing it to you again-lol!

I'll start with the coffee table.

First I used an old chippy piece of barn wood as a tray.

Then I placed some branches that Keith collected for me in an old gas can...

...and hung a few brushed silver and white ball ornaments for some bling.

Next to that I placed a wicker cloche.  I took this 'jingle' ribbon and tied it on to add some whimsy!

I left the cotton and the apple picking basket hanging on the door behind the couch. I was going to fill the basket with greens, but I really like the continuity of white.

 I created a simple vignette on the drawer unit beside the couch with a candlestick, a lantern, and a tiny burlap-wrapped tree.

I love to use battery operated candles...they give a pretty glow, especially at night.

Here's a peek in the other direction, toward the table by the French doors that lead to the sunroom.

I've been playing around a little with the couch pillows, too.

I swapped in one with a touch of red and one with a holiday sentiment.  Not sure which way I like best...what do you think?

For another holiday touch, I filled the wire basket on the bench beside the loveseat with ornaments.

Well, I hope that you enjoyed the first part of my holiday living room!

Thanks so much for stopping by-enjoy your day! :)
