Modern House Minimalist Design

  This year I didn't really do any real decorating in Lillie's room. We put a little tree in her window seat area that she decorated completely herself and then we made quite a few little yarn trees (per her request) and put them out with some feather boas (to look like snow) and that was it. It wasn't what I had planned on doing originally, but it was nice and simple and she had a lot of fun. For her yarn trees she picked out three different shades of pink. (I only used the lighter two on the trees in these photos). We will have a tutorial up soon on how to make these.  The little stocking my mom made her for her first Christmas four years ago.

Also, I forgot to mention earlier this month that you can click here for our free December download: And we also have several Christmas downloads available including Isaiah 9:6 and Silent Night and The First Noel.  I'll be back tomorrow! Have a wonderful Thursday!

Welcome to our home! Christmas has always been my favorite time of year, and now with two little girls it is even more special. I love using elements from nature in my decor and we have made many of the decorations in our home ourselves to keep our costs at a minimum. We live in an 1800 square foot townhome in Virginia. It is a middle unit and therefore does not have any windows on either side (just the front and back) which can make photographing our space a bit challenging, but I did try to take more overall shots of the spaces than I normally do so that you can get a feel for the whole space and how it looks at Christmas! Here is the tree in our living room: And here is the whole space: And here is our dining room that is essentially an extension of our living room: We made the yarn trees and the...
