bHome for the Holidays {A Farmhouse Living Room and a Giveaway!}

I'm so happy you stopped by! It's always fun to participate in a tour with our friends from bHome. I've included their tour links at the end of this post, as well as simple entry instructions for an awesome giveaway that you won't want to miss!

 Today, I'm sharing our farmhouse living room, ready for Christmas (except for the gifts under the tree...those will come in time...hopefully on time with all our online shopping!). 

The week before (hosting) Thanksgiving, I felt compelled to plank our living room wall as a backdrop for our Christmas tree. Totally normal, right?

It might not sound like good timing, but here's the thing... when you're getting ready to host something, or when there is a holiday coming up, you have a built-in deadline. And that's a good thing. Plus, I've always felt that sleep is overrated anyway. ;)

Of course, I had to take my husband down with me. And while planking a wall might not be his idea of a great Saturday, we had some laughs along the way and were both happy with the end result. 

How does that saying go about "couples who DIY together, stay together?" 

(Made that up, but feel free to use it. ;)

Our living room tree may be a little "Charlie Brownish" but there are two reasons I love it.

Reason number one: It's dripping with precious ornaments from our three boys like this...

Reason number two: The memories. 

We hiked in the snowy mountains together to find our tree...

A $10 Christmas tree permit is all that is required here in Washington state. 

The snowball fights are free.

Back inside for a little peek at our piano. Do you remember when I painted it? Well, it's been almost a year, and I'm still glad I did. :)
