a simple family room Christmas decor

We are finally all decorated for Christmas: the tree is all dressed up  and the pillows are out.

The color scheme is actually very similar to last year, but with some added red, and a little blue. I wanted to do a blue/green tree but every time I tried it reminded me of Frozen, which was not what I was looking for!

So we kept it simple, with the kids putting the ornaments where they wanted. I am happy that our teenagers are still interested in decorating the tree.
We added a few ornaments this year:

one from Scandinavia from my sister,

one from Lucketts during our last trip

and one cross stitched by my mom, with lavender in it.
To finish decorating the room, I changed the pillows on the couch, I do that quite often, nobody at home seems surprised! Usually we have mostly blue pillows, but now it is mostly red!

We had our first snow this weekend!

I "needed" a new pillow, so I revisited an old pattern from Amy of Nana Company

that I had previously made here

and just made it much bigger!

It is such a fun accent to the couch!

And it coordinates with the colors from the kitchen table topper

and cocoa bar, we have a very open concept house!

There are less than 2 weeks to go.....

And Lou is ready for it! She does not like to get her picture taken, but there was something on the coffee table she was very interested in, which I will share next time.

Happy day!
