Neutral Nativity Scene with a Hint of Farmhouse Style

I have a few nativity sets,   and I think the neutral ones are absolutely my favorite.....hands down!    I like to feel calmness when I look at a nativity set and sometimes the really colorful ones don't give me that calm feeling that I am looking for during the holidays.   

The master bedroom is one of my favorite sanctuary spots to hang out in after a hectic day of shopping,  cooking,  decorating,  etc.   so it's kind of my "go to room" to set up a Nativity scene.

I used a lot of white in the Christmas master bedroom this year    I just love that color.....it is so serene and calming.

I mentioned earlier that I had a hint of Farmhouse in my Nativity scene this year.    I changed things up a bit from my usual and used a barn instead of a stable....kind of the same thing...right?    I found my barn in the Christmas Farmhouse area at Hobby Lobby,    but I intend to use it year round.   

The precious baby Jesus......

The wise men men and shepherd are gathered around the Baby,  Mary,  and Joseph.

I bought new battery operated candles this year.    The ones I've had so long have yellowed and had several scuff marks on them,   so I found pretty white ones this year at Hobby Lobby and I love how they look in my Nativity set.     ( of course,  I waited until the candles were half price before I bought them...lol)

I have a pretty good sized collection of sheep.....they are all assorted sizes....small,  medium,  and large.   It doesn't bother me to create a vignette using all different sizes of sheep.   In fact,  I like the look of it better when they are not "cookie cutter"

I love flowers and I usually put a few in all my vignettes....including my Nativity.

Let' move on down and take a look at the shepherd boy....

He isn't the original boy that came with this set.    I don't know what happened to that one,   so this sweet pastel boy has to fill in every year.

I've spent years looking for just the right size lambs to go with my little shepherd boy.   All of the ones you see with him have came from yard and estate sales.   

I made some changes to the dresser for this years Christmas nativity.    I took down the mirror....put the lamps in a guest bedroom....and used my new barn as the stable.

The architectural piece in the center was hanging on the wall over the bedside table....the arches used to be hanging on the sides of the buffet in the formal dining room and before that they were hung on each side of the fireplace in this room.     The Silent Night sign is a new piece that I fell in love with at Hobby Lobby the moment I spotted it.    I love it so much,   that I may paint over the Silent Night and use it year round.    Don't judge me,    I can always paint it back...lol!

In an upcoming post,    I have new bedding to share with you guys.  my thin white tree,   the fireplace mantel.   and a couple more things in the master bedroom. 

   I always enjoy your visits so much.....come back soon!
