I am sharing the living room (aka family room) this evening. This is the room we live in!
My goal this year was to decorate simply and buy nothing new. I needed to be simple this year because of the busy month I will be having moving Mama, selling her house, etc.
I was determined also to buy anything new, because quite frankly I have tons and you can get carried away while looking at blogs, Instagram, and Pinterest. Enough said!
So without further adieu, I am sharing the living room. I went simple this year. Just felt simple was the thing for this year.

| My sweet little reindeer was given to me by my mother-in-law a very long time ago. It is truly one of favorite Christmas decorations. |
The Christmas tins were gifts from students probably very close to 30 years ago. They were all the rage then. I got lots, but somehow these two were favorites and I still have them. I added them to the shelves, but felt this side needed some red. Couldn't quite find anything to do the trick, so I did purchase the lantern at AC Moore and added the ribbon.

The reindeer is another oldie. Just really like him.
I took a cross stitched fish off the wall and replaced it with my country Christmas stitching.
I did place votives around the room. Hubby and I are enjoying the evening in the ambience of a candlelit room.

| My sweet Lucy on the couch. |
My favorite spot. Cross stitching is sitting on the table ready to work on.

| Gotta get busy on my January cottage. |

| Another shot of the sweet thing. She stayed on the couch all the while I cleaned the room. |
Sweet Lemony showed up just as I had completed mopping. She wanted to leave paw prints on the floor.
My so called formal areas will be shared tomorrow.
I only decorated the upper level this year. I usually put a tree up in the big room downstairs with colored lights, but since no one has really gone downstairs since Paul Allen moved out, I decided to pass this year. I love to go down and read there, so I will probably enjoy the calm of the downstairs.
