The Winter Family Room

Did y'all survive the cold weekend? We didn't get the snow we thought we would and I was very disappointed. Maybe next time if there is a next time. Of course just a few miles away they did get snow. It's funny how we will be back in the low seventies by the end of the week. We just go from one extreme to the other. Today we are going into the room we basically hung out in all weekend by the fire.

When I last shared the family room, or great room as we call it, it was decorated for Christmas and the furniture arrangement was changed so I could place the tree in the corner by the fireplace. I thought this would be a temporary arrangement, but Mr. Savvy likes it this way and said it feels cozy. So for now it stays in this layout. The decorations have been put away and I thought I would share how the room looks now.

Come on in.....

This is the first winter with the new neutral furniture. I'm having fun adding color with the accessories and I do NOT miss the red furniture that we had for fifteen years.

The chairs now sit where the sofa sat and vice versa. We had to move everything out and back in since the rug had to be turned, too.

I brought in this English drop leaf table from the sitting room for a better fit between the chairs than the round table. I placed a tray on top to protect the top of the table, but not sure it's staying.

Color and texture is added with pillows and fruit. 

Stacks of book and and a plant also add texture.

I'll probably be curled up with my fave books by the fire this weekend as we are expecting a winter storm.

The sideboard is still in the same spot and this is my view from my cozy corner I shared last week.

The only thing I changed was the art.

I kept the pine cones and antlers in the concrete garden urn from Christmas. Works well for winter.

You can see the old arrangement here and then tell me which one do you prefer or both?

Have an awesome week!
