So here is our romantically lit living room on a gray December day....and I'm finding it so very peaceful.
A reflection of the room:
This smaller tree holds white, silver and vintage-inspired ornaments:
Had to include one of my smaller lace angel wings....
...as well as a gorgeous script-stamped angel wing from Sandi at Wayside Treasures:
I couldn't resist adding some fun fur yarn to the trim of this white knitted stocking I made, hanging from the galvanized bucket:
More of the fireplace and mantel:
I got this lovely ornament at Nesting (see my previous post to see that gorgeous store).
The far corner...a simple balsam wreath on our old door:
I wanted to add a little 'pretty' to the room over at this console table:
Lovely gifts from another dear friend...I received this adorable book and burlap bag from Sandi of A Cottage Muse. I added more fun fur yarn around the lovely fabric rose on the bag.
This white tree was perfect for arranging some wallpaper ornaments. I made the round ones from new and vintage wallpaper, while the glittered-edge ornaments were from sweet Karen of A Shabby Moment In Time.

These 'NOEL' ornaments I made last year blended in well on the flea market shelf:
We'll plan to spend some relaxing time in here all season...
I'll be sharing more of the room (in Part 2) later this week.

Everything looks so beautiful. I love the contrast of the fresh dark greens with the whites. And your galvanized bucket with the lights and greenery is so simple and so wonderful!

Hi, I love your light, white look. I like using the urn for your small tree. I may have to dump the plant out of mine by next Christmas! I have the same metal crown as yours. Was yours a darker color originally? Mine is.

Happy Holidays! :-)

GIRL...you must have been a busy little elf all day! wow..your living room looks amaaaazing! I love its' serene.... soft palette. like a frosty December morning. love..love! :)
Wow! Your living room is just stunning, Susan! Everything is so gorgeous and dreamy, I don't know where to begin! I love all of the mercury glass, and one of my favorite things (well, they are all favorites, but if I had to narrow it down!) is the petite white tree with the wallpaper and sheet music ornaments. What a wonderful idea! And the covered boxes below are perfection. I still say you need to be in Romantic Homes magazine, or Jeanne d'Arc!!! Enjoy your week:)
This is all so beautiful! Looks like it should be a magazine spread.

Oh my gosh what a BEAUTIFUL home!!! I am totally in LOVE LOVE LOVE with your mirror over the mantle!!! I wish I could decorate in whites... but with dark wood beams throughout our home (not to mention the "mess" that comes with having four kids), it just doesn't happen! ;)
This is sooo beautiful! I love the colors. The Christmas decor is fab!
