Christmas in JoAnn's Living Room

My friend JoAnn has her living room decked for Christmas and has been kind enough to let me share it with you.

Her theme for this room is cardinals. You will see them on the mantel, in the tree, and on the couches.

Her flocked tree features Cardinal ornaments and red ornaments with white lights.

Her mantel has cardinals resting on silver candleholders, pine cones, berries, red ribbon plus cardinal ornaments hanging from the mantel.

I'm sure you have noticed that JoAnn has such an eye for design and details.

She was an art teacher for years before she retired. So she knows color and just how to use it.

Her sofa pillows go perfect with her cardinal theme.

Thanks JoAnn for sharing your living room with us.

We are going to visit my daughter's house in Kentucky for a Christmas Home Tour. The porch on her two-story traditional home is lined with lights.

Step inside . . .

We are greeted with whimsical elves on the stairs.

They must be waiting for kids to come down the stairs on Christmas morning.

I have shared many posts from my daughter and SIL's house in Kansas City and since I am at their house recuperating from a complete knee replacement, I'm featuring their house for a Christmas Home Tour.

This beautiful silver ball at the entry came from Nell Hill's in Kansas City.

The living room furniture gets rearranged for the holidays to make room for her 9 foot tree. Her white couch from Nell Hill's gets moved from in front of the white shutters to the right side of the room.

The pillow on the couch is from Pottery Barn. I love the berry wreath.

On the baby grand piano sits a couple of Byer's Choice Carolers.

The sideboard on the right side of the room holds another display of Byer's Choice Carolers.

"Ernie" their Elf on the Shelf is making an appearance on a silver glittered reindeer.

Back at the entry you can look to the right and see the dining room.

The chartreuse and silver theme is carried to the dining room.

The table is decorated with:

several new Mercury Glass Balls on candlesticks

silver glittered deer,

chartreuse ornaments,

and two small chartreuse trees,

The four Mercury Glass balls are also from Nell Hills.

Her china buffet is filled with her Lenox China and Lenox Christmas china.

Let's take a peek into their bedroom where they have a 7 foot tree. We try to use 100 feet of lighting per tree. Their bedding is mostly from Restoration Hardware.
