Christmas Family Room Tour

Thank you for joining me for a little tour of some recent changes that I have made in my family room. I have also included a source list of this space at the end of the post.  I wanted a rug that was going to bring some color AND tie in the browns that I had in this space, that is why I ordered this particular rug. As you have seen on my IG stories, I am a rug nut and I love to change things up. Having a new rug in this space is so refreshing to me and brings about the warm winter tones that I was searching for. I added some photos with and without my coffee table to show all of the amazing colors in my new rug. I hope you enjoy Chester and I’s tour. I would love for you to leave me a comment at the end of this post and let me know what you think of this rug. I did do a voting poll on IG and the lighter rug won on the poll, but I went with the underdog and I. LOVE. IT!!

    Yes…I love this rug and it really looks nice here. It brings out the golden browns from your clock and picture frames which tie the whole room together. Beautiful:)

    Love this rug choice. I share your love of rugs. I continue to shy away from any rug with a pronounced pattern, So, truth is…., I’m a neutral nubby textured rug nut.

      So many amazing rugs out there! Yay for rugs!

    Perfect choice!

    Hi Natalie, Look at that HUGE corbel! I love it, the rug and all of it. I have a pillow ‘thing’ and if you look through all the closets and trunks in the house, you’ll find them. Do you clear out pillows, sometimes and keep others for different seasons? I just picked up some fake fur brown ones that look nice with all the off white and lambskin covered pillows.

    • My Vintage Porch says

      December 19, 2017 at 5:12 pm

      I love switching out pillows and just having so many pillows for a cozy space everywhere. Fur brown sounds amazing!

    I love your rug! I cannot believe how inexpensive it is. No wonder your ordered several. Just curious, do you think it would feel thick enough without your other rug underneath it?

    • My Vintage Porch says

      December 19, 2017 at 5:13 pm

      The ones from well woven are super soft. I do love the extra cushion of layering a rug but they are sufficient without it too.

  11. Lelanie says

    December 13, 2017 at 12:48 pm

    Yep, perfect choice!

  12. Amy says

    December 13, 2017 at 2:19 pm

    Everything about this room is perfect, including Chester!! Love the colors in the rug!

  13. Valerie says

    Love that rug and the layering you did with it? I have w2w carpeting in my family room.

    Do you think it would be appropriate to layer a large throw rug like you did over an entire carpeted floor?

  14. Amu says

    December 13, 2017 at 4:35 pm

    How soft and thick is it? It’s beautiful and I would love to get one for my living room!:)

(Swipe over) We couldn’t decide either so we just got both...said the wish monster. 🤪We don’t have room yet but I’m hoping for a nice big hutch like one of these to be part of our kitchen in our build. @antiquitieswarehouse has the best stuff!! Our kitchen to come may be a little outside the norm and I’m super pumped about it! Oh, and lots of you wondering the cost of this hutch...let’s just say if you could have a new car or a new hutch, which would you choose? I’ll take the hutch! 😃25K for this puppy #antiquehutch #antiquefurniture

You can still do great things in a rental my friends, you can!🙌🏼 Sam’s Club sure has amazing deals! And, I can’t wait to try out that carpet cleaner...and blow up that pool for Chester, of course! Yay for fun projects and for just plain fun! 😁🐶 #samspartner #gallerywall #photowall
Mirror, done! What color was your guess? Were you Mirror, done! What color was your guess? Were you scared watching stories? No hot pink or turquoise ...I just wanted it warmer with more gold tones and I love it! It looks older and more realistic now...not so plasticity like before. I’ll show you some close ups in stories soon and will show how I got the old layered look...it’s even better in real life person! #standingmirror #rusticdecor
Do you think I bent the jigsaw blade? 😬 (swipe Do you think I bent the jigsaw blade? 😬 (swipe over) It was worth it all none the less. This was a “bench in a day” project. The thing that took the longest was refinishing it, the rest was cake...after we fixed the boards that Bob the Builder messed up. It will eventually go in the hallway. I hadn’t added the screws here yet bc I was running out of daylight to get a photo but check stories and I’ll show you how I’m (I mean Trav) is putting it together. He insisted on helping me when my arm fell off from all of the refinishing. What a sweet guy! ♥️ #rusticbench #diybench
Did you see this huge undertaking in stories and t Did you see this huge undertaking in stories and the plucking of the eyebrows with a needle nose plyers? Talent🙋🏼‍♀️ Stupidity 🙋🏼‍♀️I may not have any fingerprints left but the hutch is done and I’m in love!!! (Swipe over) 45,872 hours later and I have a hutch like no other. Can you believe I added layers of texture to this thing, painted it, didn’t like it, decided to sand it to the nubbins, white washed it, and then glazed it?!?! 🤩 Yeah, most of you probably know me too well by now...I’m nutso and I know it. Now to decide if I should put the original hardware back on or change it up. I’m thinking I’m loving the look of the old hardware on it. What do you think? (Swipe to the end to see the “before” and hardware I’m thinking of using) #oldhutch #antiquehutch #pinehutch #rusticfurniture
I’ve gone pot nuts! (Swipe over for close up and I’ve gone pot nuts! (Swipe over for close up and “before”...see below for colors used) This pretend pot slingin is some fun stuff!! And, this slingin it in this new craft space of mine is even more fun! I just finished this pot and I love it!! Just call me high on pot life...I’ve taken my old POTS health and changed it out for a new pots way! 🙌🏼 If you can’t find me, I’ll be over here just working with my pot! And, I’ll let you in, if you bring grain free brownies...or cupcakes...but I prefer the brownies🤔. And, I would share my grain free pretzels with you...After crying about Hallie forgetting my pretzels that one time, I now have about 10 bags fully stocked at all times. 😂 #morepots #thegoodkind #antiquepots
