at home . the living room in december

23 Jan


we kept things pretty clean and simple for our three december celebrations this year — lots of white, some repurposing of last year‘s holiday crafts (an era when i had significantly more spare time), and a few new photos and animal friends. happy wintery goodness.

    Your decorations are beautifully simple, love them. Also would it be ok to ask where your awesome Christmas tree is from? I’ve been wanting to know since I saw it in a lila was here image. Am very tempted to make something similar with some rope lights and netting!

      thank you :) we found it at ikea last year! it would be super easy to make — it’s essentially just rope lights and fishing line!

    I love the juxtaposition between the dark walls and white decorations. It really makes it pop!

    So I clicked on the link to see what decorations you used for last Christmas, and WOW! Look at Lila! She sure has grown! My little girl is going to be three in March, so they’re very similar in age. It’s amazing the growing they do from 2 to 3. From toddler to kid. (I don’t know whether to smile or cry.)

    Your home looks absolutely lovely. I love how you traded out the decor for each event, but kept it simple and clean. Beautiful.

    love love love your stitched circle garland! I might steal that idea for my new nursery…! ;)

    & I was totally going to design & print out “hello my name is” stickers to avoid confusion, cause the next babe will be called by a middle name if it’s a boy–& just saw that you did that. Guess I am not so original after all! ha! super cute.
