It’s Christmas home tour week around here! If you missed the Christmas kitchen and bathroom post, click here to see it. Today is all about decorating the foyer and the living room for Christmas! Come on in. This is my absolute favorite room to decorate for each season. Probably because we don’t really use it as a living room (we use our family room more often) so I get to decorate however I want in here and everything pretty much stays put. Plus having a mantel and a ... Read More about Decorating the living room for Christmas on a budget
