Hey friends! I'm popping in today to share a quick styling update to our living room. Somehow, the area that I usually tackle first ended up being almost last during my summer styling session!

Hey there, friends! Things here on the blog may feel a bit slow going after the New Year, New Room Challenge we participated in, in January, but we're working on a lot behind the scenes. Did you see the reveal of our Guest Bedroom yet? Find it here if not. It felt natural to nurture

When the time came to decorate for Christmas, way back in November, I wasn't sure exactly how I wanted to decorate our main living room.
