Christmas Living Room 2020

Interior decorator and home blogger Liz Fourez shares her beautiful Christmas tree and living room

light, bright & cozy…

That’s exactly how I would describe our living room for Christmas this year. I was waiting for the time to finish a few big projects in here before I shared this space with you, and while it’s not 100% complete yet, it’s perfect for now. The tree is up, the stockings are hung, and soon our little family will be celebrating here together. Welcome inside, sweet friends…

The big project I was hoping to complete before Christmas was moving the white bookshelf on the wall behind the sofa and adding a second one to create a beautiful backdrop for artwork and accessories. You may remember the DIY art shelf that was here before, and while I absolutely loved having that shelf to play with, these bookshelves fill the space so much better. 

I gave the new IKEA bookshelf the same custom backing as I did the first one, exchanging the flimsy piece of cardboard that comes with the furniture for sturdier, more visually appealing vertical shiplap (a.k.a. pine 1×4’s). 

Once the Christmas tree is gone and I can center the bookshelves on this wall, I plan to add a little bit of molding to give it a more “built-in” look. And I also have another idea up my sleeve that I’m SO excited to try!

For my tree this year, I decided to keep it on the minimal side, using a mixture of:

large pearl & matte bulbs
chunky cream knit garland
oversized pearl strands
my homemade clay ornaments
a few natural touches of pinecone & wood
some snowglobes
and pieces of white & baby blue ribbon tied onto the branches

I hadn’t planned on adding that soft blue to the tree this year, but when I found the prettiest blue wrapping paper at Target this year, I decided to carry the color up through the Christmas tree as well. Ribbon is such an easy way to do this, as it’s less expensive than ornaments, easy to store, and you can change the color ribbon from year to year without much expense or effort.

We spend a lot of time snuggled up here right now, watching Christmas movies and playing board games. Of course our little guy, Remy, is enjoying all the added coziness too in his favorite nap spot.

    Your decorations are great. I like the tree trimmed in white it is very attractive. The vignette is perfect for the setting. Enjoy your Christmas in that lovely decorated room.

Yesterday I had a design meeting with one of my to Yesterday I had a design meeting with one of my toughest clients yet... my teenage son. 😂 Actually, he is probably the easiest person to please, and his requests for the upcoming bedroom makeover we are planning were pretty simple:

• blackout curtains so he can sleep in on weekends
• a new darker paint color
• somewhere to charge all his devices

I think I can handle that! This room is quite a challenge with the small size & layout, but I think we’ve come up with a game plan to make it more functional and much more “him”. 

Once I catch up on all my current projects and design work, I’m excited to dive into making this space perfect for him! P.S. where did my little boy go that wanted Thomas the Train as the theme in his bedroom? 🥺

Beachy cottage retreat... I think we got pretty cl Beachy cottage retreat... I think we got pretty close to perfect bringing this look into the Armstrong House (aka my sweet mom’s house)! What do you think?

One of the biggest challenges in this space was finding the right size furniture to maximize the small space & functionality without sacrificing design. She wanted to keep the house light, bright and airy while still feeling warm & cozy, and this feels like the right balance with soft whites & grays paired with wood tones & natural fibers. 

You can get all the details on this MASSIVE renovation & all the decor sources on the blog!

Now that the snow is almost melted, I can’t help but daydream about what I’m going to plant this year, dinners out on the deck, and naps under the shade of the gazebo. The first glimpse of spring always reminds me how grateful I am for the little things and especially this cozy little house of mine.

That awkward moment when you have multiple layers That awkward moment when you have multiple layers of clothes on just because it feels good to have the windows open for a moment. A little bit of spring. Still an ounce of lingering winter. I’m no better than my children who assume 40 degrees means shorts and t-shirt weather.
