The halls are decked! Sometimes I think our living room really is a hall, with it's long bowling alley effect. I did my best to ensure our antique daybed could stay in here with that challenge in mind. Here is the result...
I put the daybed at an angle, with a table cornered behind:
The tree...

I wanted a new tree skirt, so made this one from white muslin

| (see this horse's transformation here) |
The fireplace...
I was inspired to make this crocheted garland after seeing Madolyn Oliver (Jeanne Oliver's sweet daughter) make one in the Creatively Made Home e-course.
Vintage ornaments...
A wealth of inspiration came from this book...
And last, a view from our shelf in the front of the room. I'll share that part of the room in another post...
Sharing with these festive parties:
Your living room looks beautiful Susan! Love your tree and the day bed looks perfect on an angle!
