Metal Bow Ornaments, Large Velvet Bows, Small Velvet Bows,
Happy Monday! Sharing my family room and kitchen and tables ready for the holidays! Let’s get this party started. :)
Metal Bow Ornaments, Large Velvet Bows, Small Velvet Bows,
I went with a bow theme for my main family room tree in browns and golds and rich fall colors. It’s simple and warm and makes me happy.
This cozy throw is a favorite this season and I picked up a few for gifts! It looks and feels more expensive than it is. We have it in cream too! The linen pillow covers I bought from Amazon compliment the tree so beautifully and also look high end. I’m a fan. :)

Tree details! Everyone has a personal preference with Christmas trees and I personally love seeing a lot of the actual tree so I always keep my decor simple. There’s no right or wrong. Just do what you love. :)

I kept my mantel decor simple too and just combined and layered two different garlands (the same two I used in my kitchen!). Then I added my long time favorite birch trees and pine branches in a vase and put some of the same bow ornaments from my tree over my mirror. I just used simple command hooks to hold them on my shiplap! I might lower them a little closer to my mirror if I can summon up the energy to get my big ladder out again.. ha.
A few fun details on my coffee table. These wicker storage bins have saved my marriage! My husband likes the remote and computer chargers out and easy to find/use but it drives me crazy when they are out so I was always putting them in different spots and drawers and sending him on a fun little treasure hunt each night. He wasn’t loving the hunt and I wasn’t loving the mess of having things out so I finally moved these bins to the coffee table to keep everything tucked away in and easy for him to find each evening. Peace! Issue is solved and we lived happily ever after. ;)
These bells are so pretty and are on sale!

We got this new couch over the summer and have really enjoyed it. It’s larger than our last sectional so I’m excited to use it through the holidays with kids home and more people over! I’m definitely still in that new couch phase where I watch food around it and try to be careful but the few times we have spilled everything has come right off (its a great performance fabric!) so I think we are safe to lounge and not worry.
A few pics of my kitchen at the moment!
I’ll take some better pictures of my kitchen window at night (it’s hard to photograph with all the light streaming in the window!). I used my long time favorite birch trees and snowflake ornaments with the cute mercury gold houses I shared earlier . They light up so pretty at night with a little tea light in them!
Simple island arrangement and this vase is also on sale. It’s a great size (big enough but not too big) so I reach for it often! I love these little gold trees and the glass trees were a fun Target find.
I usually use linen napkins for my holiday party but decided to order some on Amazon and save myself another load of laundry this year.
I don’t regret that decision. :)
I decorated my dining room table the same other than I used my flameless candles in this space. I love clicking them all on with a little remote! I’m leaving these tables set for the next month so that we can easily host our friends and my kids’ friends. Tis the season for family and friends!
We are here for it. :)
Happy Thanksgiving week!
Hi! Sorry if I’ve missed it, but do you have a link for the wreaths on the barstools? Thanks!
Hi Kristine! I think they sold out! I shared them in the blog post below a while back but if they are sold out I think I linked similar options in that post too! :)

Erin what a beautiful setting for enjoying the Christmas holiday season. I’m a fan of the simple and what looks effortless (although I definitely know it’s not). You’ve created a wonderful haven for your family and friends!
I’m so happy you like it Jeanne! Thank you! xo
Oh, Erin! Its the BEST! The family room! Have not followed the links yet, but I think the fur throw is PB? looks like mine! I have a couple rouched fur throws from Soft surroundings and one from PB. We need them here at the Artic circle in Jan. and Feb :) NO “wink” sign here, and no fibs! There was ice on things when we got in last night and even more ice on my back deck and skylights this AM. BTW, Skylights-NEVER get them!!!!! Mine are 32 years old and I H. A .T. E. them!
OK, so that was off script (in my “usual fashion” right???)
Anyway, the family room! The sectional! The tree! The whole thing! I LOVE ♥♥♥ it! The Fall colors of bronze, brown, golds morphing into Christmas. Couldn’t be more perfect!
So warm and inviting.I’m filing THIS under “Christmas” right away b/c I can get away with this (earlier Christmas decorating) w/my “NO Christmas before Thanksgiving “BETTER HALF” ! He will buy into it! Thank you! Next year is planned right now and will send pics WHEN I do it (YES! Next Oct.!) I already got away with the gold trees and mini gold (threshold) pumpkins on hall table. He JUST “saw” the pumpkins ;) Didn’t even mention the trees. Been there for weeks!
I might get a new GREEN faux tree to “sneak” in for next year. it will be the twin of your family room tree! (2025 will see it in OCT.) SHHHH My large tree is a white decorator tree that we bought right off the floor in a design shop 11-12 years ago (Christmas Eve B day will get you stuff! ;) Husband only believes in one LARGE tree but I’ve been able to “kinda” go wild with small trees :D to satisfy the “Christmas Tree addiction” (normal, I hear for Christmas B Days!)
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Erin, with your husband and 3 beautiful kids ALL back home (and Peaches!) in your beautifully decorated, Fall to Christmas home! I’m there in spirit decorating WITH you ( when you heard the “angels singing”, one was ME!) as I have to rely on “spot decorating ” this year due to some MUCH needed “fixes” and reno around here! Angels have been silent here :(
PS. Did I say “better Half”????? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Sherri! Laughing.. I read your comment 3 times! Just had to catch all the fun things in it.. ha! You are the best. And love that you always remember Peaches! Peaches has moved to Kenny’s office and he is taking care of her (him?) now. He has Kole’s fish in his office too and we laugh that he ended up with all of the kids’ pets! I hear him talking to them throughout the day when he’s working from home and it cracks me up.. he is so good to them. Ok.. talk about going off script! This is why we get along so well. One of 100 reasons! ;) Enjoy your spot decorating.. I so get it! NEXT YEAR angels will sing loudly I have no doubt! XO
