Friends, it’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is this month! I know to some it may feel the day we spend hours laboring in the kitchen, but I choose to look at it as a labor of love. Today I’m sharing all of my favorite Thanksgiving Table Essentials, so you can spend less time over worrying where to find just the right napkins to complete your thanksgiving tablescape, and more time anticipating the time we get to spend with family & friends.
Do you host Thanksgiving? Even if you don’t, I think there is one thing we can all agree on – where do we put all the food?! All at once every table top surface becomes valuable real estate, and there is just never enough room. Today I’m sharing a Thanksgiving styled bar cart, and how it can help provide you extra room for all those yummy Thanksgiving treats.
Hello friends!! I have to be honest, each year I create a holiday tablescape, I think to myself “this is my favorite”. Even though I have no idea what next years tablescape will look like, I love the current one I just created so much that I think how can it possibly get any better. Then, fast forward a year and it’s time to create another one, and now that one is my new favorite. It just goes to show that no two tablescapes will ever be alike, and you have to create whatever you are currently in the mood for.
I can’t believe we are only 2 sleeps away from it being Christmas. Our kids can hardly contain their excitement as we get closer and closer to Christmas day. As we prepare to celebrate over the next few days, with family and friends, I wanted to take a moment to wish each one of you a Merry Christmas also.
Christmas is less than a week away, and I can hardly believe it! I really haven’t even begun to wrap my head around the fact, that right behind it is a new year, with all the new possibilities it will bring. I have to say though, I think my favorite part about having our Christmas decor up, is the glow of the white lights at night. That is always the part I miss the most when it comes time to take down the decorations. So to savor every bit of it, I wanted to share some pics of tree all aglow at night, and I’ve teamed up with some blogging friends who are also sharing little bits around their home of Christmas lights at Night. I’ve included the lyrics to one of my favorite Christmas songs throughout the post, for a special nighttime Christmas lights tour. Enjoy!
Hello Friends! Today I’m joining in a week long festive holiday home tour, part of the Seasonal Simplicity series with 45 other bloggers, who are sharing parts of their homes decorated for the holidays all week long! Yes you read that right fourty-five! Seriously I think this is the biggest virtual home tour series I have been apart of yet, and it’s hosted by the lovely Krista from the Happy Housie. Seriously I don’t know how she does it all, but I feel lucky just to be able to join in on the fun. I love seeing how others decorate their homes for the holidays, even if their style is completely different from mine, there is so much inspiration to be found. And who knows, sometimes I find a different place to hang a garland, or a different type of vignette to create, I just love to see what others create!
Do you hit a wall with decorating? I mean, I think we all hit a wall at some point or another, but do you hit a wall when it comes to decorating for Christmas? I do. No joke, as much as I love decorating for christmas, and anticipate it all year long, there comes a point ohhh about 2/3 of the way in to decorating our home for Christmas that I hit a wall. I’ve put together 5 Tips to help you and I get through the holiday decor blitz. Because let’s face it, sometimes just the thought of doing all that decorating for just 1 month can seem completely daunting and a waste of time. But I’m here to tell you are not alone, and to offer some tips on how to get through it!
Hello Friends!! I hope you are easing into this week slowly. For me the week after Thanksgiving is always the busiest on the blog, and with design clients. While I don’t take on design clients anymore, I have a few commercial clients that I still decorate their spaces for the holidays, and it’s a fun twist, because I get to bring out my inner “shop-owner” and do store front displays, that are different from your typical holiday home decor. Needless to say it’s a busy week, so this week begins my holiday slow down process. Where the rushing around, and shopping become more of a joy, because they don’t require deadlines. So to ease into this week (in case you have a case of the Monday’s too :p) I’m sharing a round up of my favorite Christmas decor with you!
If there could be one word to describe my Christmas decor, it is “cozy” – without a doubt, for sure. I don’t know if it just seems to be ringing louder in my ears this year, or because our temperatures have dropped earlier this year, but there is one thing for sure that I keep hearing over and over again in my head as I look around our home this holiday season and it’s the word COZY. It’s no secret that I love decorating for the holidays, and I’m so excited to be teaming up with some of my favorite bloggers today, and Balsam Hill to show you the cozy side of Christmas that has been spread throughout our home – inside & out.
