When the Santa pictures are up on our shiplap display wall it’s officially Christmas at our house! I’m sharing our Christmas mudroom, Santa wall and stairs today. We’ve taken a picture with Santa every year since Ellie was one! I watch my kids grow up right in front of my eyes on this wall every year! I try to create some sort of Christmas tree shape but it’s a little tricky because each year the configuration changes when we add a new picture. This year I started with the oldest pic on the bottom and made it the trunk.
No trunk and I added a star ornament on top. {graham plaid pillow/merry lumbar pillow – both on sale!} That might be my favorite pic of all because I love the way Ellie is watching him.
I’m so glad we documented it with kids sitting on a bench 10 feet in front of Santa. Across from the Santa pics are the stairs and I didn’t do much with them this year. I just combined what was left of my favorite two garlands, added a little ribbon and done.
{faux cedar garland/similar garland in stock here & here/faux eucalyptus garland/khaki ribbon} Keep heading down the hall past our Santa pictures and you hit the mudroom! I added these cute pine hoop wreaths to each locker with a simple command hook.
Soft to walk on and I love how much it warms up this space. {similar red throw here & here/velvet pillow/plaid pillow here & here/mini wreath} A simple throw and favorite holiday pillows on my bench.
I added more of my favorite feathery pine trees in this corner (they are also on sale!) and my winter tree linen scroll on the wall.
Sometimes it’s easier to see at night in photos because this room gets a lot of light from different angles making it look shadowy in day time pictures.
I used painters tape to put up our Christmas cards on these door frames and I’ll probably do the same thing this year.
I can’t wait until cards start coming in the mail. I’m so happy I have one more full day of pie and Christmas pjs.
