Sunday Stills.
Progress on Christmas 2026 in my dining room.
The real star is the Benjamin Moore French Horn paint. I chose this paint color in March, to add a little bit of drama into what was previously lifeless green space. I don’t think I imagined how beautifully it would compliment a traditional Christmas.
My tree was gifted from King of Christmas® and is the unlit Royal Fir Slim. Normally the tree in the dining room gets the cast off and leftovers from the living room tree. This year I gave it a special treatment.
I’m not used to decorating a tree from scratch and purchasing all new things, I don’t think I have shopped for a tree theme in 10 or more years, referring to pull out all of my vintage favorites that I have collected since I married my husband.
I have to say I enjoyed the process. I think my favorite is the red velvet carousel horses from Hobby lobby, and the beautiful plaid ribbon from Amazon. But those viral gold teddy bears from Walmart really were amazing, I purchased them before realizing everybody had FOMO for those. So I guess I’m not entirely immune to trends, either.🎄
