Still Pulling The Familyroom Together

I am still trying to put something on all the empty tables in the familyroom.  So again I grabbed the first things that were on the decor-stash shelves. 

This little dog is such a cutie, that he just had to play somewhere. 



Perfect on this small end table on the side of the sofa.  An urn with some ivy and that's all that's needed to let him have star billing.








This little table between the two leather chairs is really small, so everything has to be small.  The clock is a wonderful keepsake, so it always stays. 


The tiny books and a little dog figurine continue the dog theme showcased on the previous end table that sits on the other side of the leather chair.


 Now the tables all have something on them.  It makes the room look so much warmer and cozy.


That's it.  Nothing really spectacular, but at least the tables aren't empty.

    Love the dogs, Marty! Maybe when your finished at home, you could pop over here and put my place back together? I just took the last of the Christmas decor down Friday, and for the life of me, can't remember what I had where before Christmas??

      I totally understand. I can't remember where I had anything either and even what I had. Guess it's time to start fresh and create something new. Hugs, Marty

    My sister has a collection of dogs. I think they are called 'chalk'dogs.

    Love the look of C.L.E.A.N. after the holidays!

    Everything looks so warm and cozy. I would enjoy sitting and reading a book beside that lamp.

    Every thing so fresh and lovely Marty! I am still working on our living room. SO far just the fireplace is done. What program did you use to make your header? I know you have used moasicmaker in the past but I do not see an option for just pictures side by side that aren't super skinny.

    Hi Marty,
    Happy Sunday! Your vignettes are beautiful as always! I loved the carved edge around the top of your one end table. It's lovely. Thanks so much for your help with Pinterest. Oh my - it sure is addicting! :-) Susie

    Your tables are decorated so beautifully, and I love the carved table so much. I know we all have trouble trying to remember where everything "goes" after Christmas. Some people want it exactly the same. I suggest taking pictures of each area. Blessings!

    Those dogs are adorable. Love the sad eyes on the first dog. They do add a lot of character to the tables.

    Marty, I am a dog lover, so your dog figurines speak to me. They add a pretty but playful look to the room. That clock is a beauty too. I'm still trying to figure out what to put where since I put away the Christmas decor. laurie

    Don't dogs make sweet decorative items? I have a little white Lenox retriever in our bedroom that sits on top of some books of dog stories and photographs. Love your pooches!

    I love the dogs, Marty! I am going to be on the lookout for more dogs. I think some hunting dogs would be great for J's lodge.
