If you are wondering about the reflections on our railing, it’s because of the way we childproofed them. You can read all of the details in this post: How to Child-Proof Horizontal Railings |
Our elf brings us the same books year after year {with a few new ones mixed in here and there as they outgrow others}, but seeing them all of the books wrapped up inside that amazing acrylic trunk makes them feel extra special! And since we always cuddle up together to read the books, I also picked up a new blanket and a couple of festive pillows from At Home to make this space perfectly cozy,
I filled my lamp base with some gold ornaments and added a collection of Christmas trees to my black and white striped cabinet. I think I might need some sort of intervention, because I can’t stop adding groups of Christmas trees to every flat surface in the house!

The books were a brilliant tradition idea! And that trunk table needs to come live in my house. LOVE IT!

Wow – I really loved reading this about this tradition. It seems so special! That trunk is amazing! What a great find to used for this reason. I also love the bold colors of the blanket and the wrapping paper. The entire thing looks beautiful – I love all the little Christmas trees and have way too many of them too!!!

What a great way to take an previously unused area and turn it into a cozy family space! Reading books is so important and this is a great way to promote it.

What a great tradition. And that hallway is the perfect place for it. How cute that they both sit in the chair together.
