I went straight from Halloween to Christmas and still owe you an “everyday” post on this reimagined room. I promise to do that in the new year and include all sources!
We have so enjoyed this room since I finished it this summer. It’s where both boys tend to land to watch TV. It works so much better for our family than the formal living room ever did!
It was fun to decorate this space for the first time. My only regret was that the new room doesn’t have space for a tree. I love nothing more than a white twinkle light during this season of magic so I added cedar-like garlands and lights to the tops of the bookcases.
I took down all of the photos and replaced them with my collection of eighteen years of Santa memories. Each one is in a silver frame, collected over the years, and is stored away until the Christmas season. I love having them all on display and putting them out was a precious walk down memory lane.
I like to keep the decor on the table tops simple because we live in and use this room daily – for living, entertaining, games, puzzles and whatnot. On the sideboard, I often set out food and drinks. For the holidays, I have one silver tray with our German smokers, a candle and a favorite card game. I found the gorgeous image for the Frame TV on etsy. The sleigh bells are from Jenny Steffens shop. I added greenery and red ribbons to the sconces like I’ve done for many years. My paperwhites are doing wonderfully in here with all of the natural light.
The only thing I have on the coffee table is the Christmas Pyramid I purchased in Germany. It clears off in seconds for games and puzzles!
In each of the swivel chairs I have a monogrammed blanket. I swapped out the pillows that match the drapes for some gorgeous lumbars from Jenny’s shop this year.
The bar cabinet sits between the windows. I added a small cedar wreath to the mirror with a command hook and some festive napkins on the silver tray. I buy the ribbon on large spools and use for many things. (3″ double faced satin ribbon)
On the final wall, I kept my gallery of oyster paintings that Honey gave me for a birthday many years ago. Another cedar like wreath and red ribbon continues the decor to this corner.
We have truly enjoyed this space and I just love sharing it with you. I promise there is more to come!

Beautiful room. It looks like you could put a slim tree in the corner by the window but sometimes it’s hard to tell in pictures.
Beautiful and practical great work. Please share the source for the swivel chairs. Thanks
