Christmas in My Living Room Part 1
Here are pictures of some of the Christmas decorations in my living room. I won't bore you with a lot of details, but I do want to mention the box that my tree is sitting in. First I wanted it in an urn, but didn't want to have to go buy one so I told my husband to build a box for it. He thought I wanted it to look like a gift box and I really wanted it to look like a planter box painted white with molding on it. Well, he built me just a plain box and suggested I cover it with fabric. He knows I love me some fabric! So, I bought this red paisley fabric that I had been eyeing for a while at Joanns and we stapled it to the box. I am really happy with how it came out and glad we didn't go with my original plan. So, I have to give my sweet husband credit for the cute tree box. I'll shut up now and let you look at the pictures. Part 2 on Wed.!

I think it looks great! And I love your decor.
I love this room and I think your box is fabulous!
Okay, I think I need you to come do my house. I thought I liked my...then I saw yours...so beautiful!
I LOVE the tree box....and I always LOVE seeing your living room!! It is so charming and inviting!
Adorable decorations! :-)
In one pic I noticed the little shelf a surround sound speaker sits on close to the ceiling. That is so charming! Mine look horrid! Hubby has them attached to the wall by the back of the speaker and I have this tacky cord going up the corners. This is in my tv room downstairs, not my "mary e" upstairs living room. And the downstairs living room I want redecorated in 2009. Now its all southwestern like. So I might have to steal your speaker idea. :-)
SOOO cute!!!

Hi, you will think this is funny. I saw some toile, red, and thought of you....and what about a red toile tablecloth for your dining room, and a centerpiece with some kind of red in it? I think your home is so beautiful and you have started a resurgence of red toile!!! I am lovin' it and looking for it. Have a Merry Christmas!

The box around the base of your tree is adorable - I love it. And also that star with the fabric. Very pretty!:)
How cute! What a great idea! Go husband!
Everything looks great! Love the box, what a great idea. Kristen
Oh so lovely Mrs. Happy Homebody. That tree box is perfect! I wish my tree were a wee bit smaller so I could have one.
I love you living room. Your tree is amazing, and I love the star you have on the top of the tree! So cute! You have one of the most beautiful living rooms I have seen. It looks like a magazine cover. I saw your green yard through your window. No snow huh! Looks like you live somewhere warm. We have gotten nine inches of snow this morning. YUCK! Have a great day Angie!
I love the box covered in fabric....your husband had a wonderful idea!
Your home looks so pretty Angie! And I adore your stockings! :o)
thanks for stopping by, need to blog ,but been sick yuk! Your home is beautiful. Many years ago I asked hubby to build me a table for my village, he built it so big he had to cut it up to get it out of the livingroom after Christmas...
Do you have room for a family of five??? I want to live in that room! Love it!!!
The fabric covered box is an excellent idea. All of your decorations look so pretty. laurie
It looks awesome! And on a totally non-Christmas-related note...I love your big windows! They're so pretty! What a lovely room.
I love the box. I have one too. Only I cover mine up with a tree skirt. But covering it with fabric is brilliant. I like the tree up high you can fit stuff under it better. Your star is cute too. Mimi
Absolutely love the tree box! Great idea; you should sell those. And I love the way you use fabric throughout your house. Makes every room look warm and cozy.
Your home looks so warm and cozy!
Angie,
