an early present & a song

Family Room Decorations
I’m still working on my Christmas decor, but here is what I’m up to in my family room… It’s a bit more casual than the living and dining rooms, but it still has a predominantly blue and green color scheme. I swapped out the brown and cream, though, for red and white, so it’s […]
