Welcome to Our Southern Home's Family Room Tour!
 
 
 
 
 
Just a simple nativity with fresh cedar greens.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The post on the Angels Rejoice Mantle is up in a previous post. 
 
 
 
 
Fresh Little Gem Magnolia leaves and Leyland Cyprus
were gathered from the yard.
 
 
 
 
 
 These hurricanes were a clearance purchase at Tuesday Morning a few years back.  I love that they are large enough to accommodate a variety of fillers.  Here I have miniature bulbs.  These are usually found on my dining room table.  Here is a link to my dining room tablescape.
 
 
 
 
 This large coffee table is a favorite piece of mine.  Notice I need to replace a couple of the pulls that have been broken by little hands!  The silver tray was a lovely tarnished find at the thrift store for $2.  I haven't tried to polish it up.  I am liking the aged patina. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The old shutter was also an unexpected $1 thrift store find!  It was the door to an old medicine cabinet.  I simply removed the hinges, cleaned it up and added some felt to the bottom to protect our table.  I see lots of use for this shutter in the near future!  I like the extra layer it provides.
 
 
 
 
This brass reindeer and sleigh belonged to my husband's parents.  It is simply adorned with holly and greens from the yard.
 
 
 
 
Can you believe that this Santa was a Big Lots find from years ago!
 
 
 
 
I am a collector of antique tole trays.  This is one of my favorites.  I also have a collection of rather old Christmas books from my mother and mother-in-law.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notice that our 10 foot Leyand Cyprus is simply adorned with our collection of precious ornaments from almost 23 years of marriage (23 on December 27th).  I have never decorated a themed tree on our main tree.
 
 
 
 
My mother was very crafty when we were little.  She made these…..where did she find the time!  She passed them onto me a few years ago.  The detail is just beautiful!  They are an heirloom!
 
 
 
 
Here is a little up close detail of the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz collection.
 
 
 
 
Here is a view from the balcony above.  Do you see a bit of the kitchen peeking through.  You can find that post here.
 
 
 
The garland is actually a layer of 2 wired together to add fullness.  I changed out the bows this year to a simple burlap bow.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The upstairs balcony
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Merry Christmas and thanks so much for stopping by!  There will be quite a few more posts this week before Christmas.

    Christy,

    Your home looks comfortably elegant. What a great tour! Thank you for sharing. I am so inspired by your wall color. I have been looking for some sort of neutral to paint the walls throughout our home and am a bit over the usual suspects. Do you know what the name is of the paint that’s on your walls? It’s simply gorgeous!

    Thanks for sharing your beautiful room! I adore the Wizard of Oz ornaments your Mother made. . .reminds me of my sweet Mother, who I have been missing lots this past week. I have ornaments made by her and a bag of unfinished ornaments that she started…I hope to finish them sometime for my tree. Enjoy your Mother while you have her here…and tell her often how much she means to you..
    Happy Hearts at Christmas!

    I echo Shenita’s comment, I LOVE your red tole tray. I have several in black and only 1 red, and yours is much prettier. Your whole room is lovely and I love the fact that you have so many family things. Old Christmas books is another thing I would love to have. So, so pretty. Thanks for sharing Christy

AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery sto AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery store. I could explore forever. Ashlyn and I enjoy cooking together so shopping for our favorite steak taco night dinner was the perfect opportunity to visit our new @foodlion in the Greenville, SC area. We are no stranger to Food Lion! We shop there when in NC while visiting our family beach cottage. The extra fresh produce and meats section always blows us away. Food Lion prides itself on keeping prices low and passes savings to its customers. Be sure to sign up for an MVP card in-store & online. Swipe to see more + our yummy dinner! Also, check out my stories! Easy, Fresh, affordable, you can count on Food Lion every day!!! https://lnk2.io/wb5NmqG #ShopFoodLion #FoodLion #Fooliongroceryhaul #FoodLionMVP #groceryshopping #FL #budgetmeals #MVPsavings #shoplocal #localgoodness #savingsatfoodlion #steaktacos #tacos #yeahthatgreenville
Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain and cold creep back in. The weather is a big tease around here! A tip & a question! Please read below...help a girl out! 

🌸 Do yourself a favor, when you go to the grocery store....pick up some fresh flowers. They are inexpensive and instantly brighten your day. Change out the water every couple of days and most will last a week. Cut a little off the stems as well. 

👁 I recently had an eye appointment. My doc wrote a prescription for me to get progressive readers. Folks, She said that I need 2.5s! I’m in a 1.75. It’s such a pain. Here’s my question. I can no longer pluck my eyebrows with my magnifying mirror! 🤣 The 52 struggle is real! What’s a girl to do? Become Bert or go to the salon. I don’t wax because it’s too irritating. @ashlyn_little offered to pluck them! 🤣 Anyone else in the same boat? 

Favorite @lovechicos look! My So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are on sale! Today is also the last day of their first-ever warehouse sale!

Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usu Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usually have a last one out rule. I just can’t walk in the bedroom with an unmade bed. My dresser may have a pile of folded laundry for a couple of days, but that bed is made! That Amazon blanket is linked in stories. It’s soooo good! 

This is perhaps my favorite look for our master bedroom! Soft toile, linen and leopard print bedding and blankets are so cozy! http://liketk.it/3953P #liketkit @liketoknow.it #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKstyletip @liketoknow.it.home

I have not been this excited about the weekend sin I have not been this excited about the weekend since last weekend! Ha, ha! Happy Friday! No big plans here, but I’m still trying to dress up for a date night in on the weekend. We’ve been eating a lot in the dining room lately. It’s a cozy space with the twinkle lights that I don’t have the heart 
to take down. It’s like feeling like we are in an actual restaurant opposed to the daily meals at the kitchen table. Just that little extra effort makes a difference. #ad

Loving these separates from @lovechicos This lightweight chevron sweater is perfect for now and spring. The lines are so slimming with the flowy ¾ length sleeve. Guess what! My So Slimming Girlfriend Jeans are on sale now thru February 25th! All full-priced jeans are $59!

Been watching the news before cooking dinner and e Been watching the news before cooking dinner and enjoying a glass of wine. It’s heartbreaking seeing what’s going on in Texas. The people, the animals....I pray that everyone finds warmth, food and water tonight. It makes me look ahead to warmer days and carefree times of summer. This photo was last summer....I’m ready for outdoor weather. 🙏

Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mar Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mark Twain 

I’ve been on a no sugar or anything processed lifestyle change going on 7 weeks except for that weekend cheat meal. Spent an afternoon doing a little shopping and indulging in a vanilla chai latte with my daughter, and it made my day! No regrets on the sweet splurge. #ad

This outfit with pieces from @lovechicos has been on repeat the last couple of weeks! I don’t tend to wear bright colors like this in the winter but let me tell you…. this sweater changed my mind! I am sharing 4 fun looks on the blog today with some of my favorite @lovechicos pieces. #lovechicos

These So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are the only ones I reach for these days. They work with boots, heels, flats and sneakers.
