Outdoor Living Space at Christmas

Ready for another Christmas room reveal? I’m taking you outside today to my favorite room of the house! Our covered outdoor porch with it’s own fireplace sits right off our kitchen/dining area. I love decorating it for the different seasons. It’s a place where I can play around a little and make it something different than the rest of the house. It’s always changing out here, from kids throwing pillows off, muddy boots on the rug, sippy cups on the table and lots of popsicle sticks in the summer! No matter how big the mess, it just makes me so happy to see everyone out enjoying this space.

So come see our Outdoor Living Space at Christmas ! It’s feeling oh so cozy with it’s own Christmas tree, stockings and lots of plaid!

Outdoor Living Space at Christmas

Come see our Outdoor Living Space at Christmas ! It's feeling oh so cozy with it's own Christmas tree, stockings and lots of plaid!I reused a lot of the same decor as last year. The vaulted planked ceiling and stone fireplace always make it feel a little woodsy/cabin like out here, so I took that idea and ran with it. This space has a little more of a woodsy Christmas look than the rest of the house, and the pops of red and plaid really bring it to a different level. I love seeing the bright cheery space.

Decorating With Vintage Sleds

Come see our Outdoor Living Space at Christmas ! It's feeling oh so cozy with it's own Christmas tree, stockings and lots of plaid!The sleds are a special piece of decor each year. These sleds belonged to my two brothers’ growing up. It’s always fun to bring them out every year and I will continue to use them until they ask for them back :)Come see our Outdoor Living Space at Christmas ! It's feeling oh so cozy with it's own Christmas tree, stockings and lots of plaid!Last year was the first year I placed a Christmas tree out here, and I hope that never changes. I can see the sparkling tree from inside and it brings such a magical feeling out here. Come see our Outdoor Living Space at Christmas ! It's feeling oh so cozy with it's own Christmas tree, stockings and lots of plaid!While I do love everything about our outdoor living space, we’ve actually been chatting a bunch recently about updating our furniture out here for spring. We’ve had this set for about 5 years now and the cushions are getting a little worn. We are thinking about putting in a wicker sectional with uphostered fabric, maybe even a circular one but we shall see! Ok I digress, we still have several months before this happens, but I gave you a little peek into one of my next projects!  Come see our Outdoor Living Space at Christmas ! It's feeling oh so cozy with it's own Christmas tree, stockings and lots of plaid!These candle sticks were a fun find at Michaels this summer. I think they are one of my favorite pieces I own right now. I love the details and how different they all are. I haven’t taken them down and I’m not planning to anytime soon!Christmas Centerpiece Come see our Outdoor Living Space at Christmas !

Cream Knit Stockings

Cableknit stockings by Balsam Hill hung on stone fireplace I gave you a peek at our stockings yesterday, and these are seriously just so beautiful! And don’t worry friends, when the fire is on, we tuck the stockings up just to be safe :)

Current snap shot of our main family room! We will Current snap shot of our main family room! We will be starting phase 1 in here later this year and I wanted to capture it as it stands now. Almost everything in here was either brought from our Washington home 3 years ago or bought second hand! Piece by piece this room has become a cozy space for our family over the last 3 years. The new stairs are staying and will work into the new design, I love them so much.

It was tricky. But I’m glad we kept going because the look is everything we envisioned and exactly what my son wanted. I still have lots more to do in here, it’s not even close to being finished. But I’m sure loving the dramatic before and after so far. Linking all sources.

I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs for our family room for years! Any time we have guests over, or our whole family wants to hang out together, it always feels like we could use a few more seats to spread out and get comfy. I have had my eye on these gorgeous Vail accent chairs from @denvermodern and they didn’t disappoint. The leather is soft and high quality, they are wide and comfortable and the brass accents are chef’s kiss. They are perfection.
