Merry Christmas!
Come on in!
Welcome to our living room. This room is focused on the true Gift of Christmas.
Our advent trees bring us
a verse for each day.
Go here to get your own list of advent verses. Merry Christmas from me!
Our nativity.
I leave it up for most of the month of January.
It's worth celebrating!

Across the room is the door from our family's barn.
I found the burlap bow in the dollar section at Target. It was the perfect necklace for my lamp.
Moving to our dining area of the kitchen...
My favorite Christmas decoration this year is my husband's grandfather's tool box filled with red balls. Sentimental. Fun. Festive.

My practical kitchen table centerpiece
Mom's tree by the kitchen sink hold some of my favorite things, like coffee mugs and ornaments from my travels around the world.
Moving to the keeping room...
We went old-school with large globe lights.
Wishing you a season filled with PEACE and JOY

Gretchen, your farmhouse looks beautiful in every season. Dressed for Christmas? It's magical! I LOVE that toolbox filled with red balls--how cute is that? What a wonderful, God-honoring, family-friendly place you've created. Bless you!
Beautiful! I have been anxiously awaiting this post from you, I knew it would be wonderful.
Where did you get your boxwood star? Or if you made it would you PLEASE give me a tutorial. I have plenty of boxwood but no idea how to form it. (and not enough cash to shell out for some of the wreaths I see online)
Glad I got to see it all last night IRL! It is beautiful!

I like your chalkboard. I got a chalkboard last summer and I'm always looking for new ideas. I'm going to pin this post.
Everything looks beautiful! You have a true gift!

You have outdone yourself Gretchen! Your Christmas tree is stunning, I'm torn up over your door with the wreath-the entire vignette is perfect, and your Advent idea is very sweet.
It has taken us 3 years to settle into an Advent groove and it is for sure our new favorite tradition.
Even though it's a week before Christmas and I have not wrapped one single gift, I'm not even worried because our focus is so much more on Jesus this year. What a blessing!
Hugs,
Anna
Beautiful! Merry Christmas!
