This is my first christmas living with my boyfriend also...since our house is decorated in lots of earthy colors, green walls and beige couches, we went for a similar style in christmas decorating...pinecone garlands on the mantle, fake holly berries and nuts in a centerpiece, etc. The only mismatch is our tree, because I have soo many of the bright colorful balls and painted popsicle stick ornaments from my siblings that the tree looks super out of place
I love christmas decorating though, we did it Black Friday!
