Merry Christmas!! I hope you had a wonderful holiday yesterday, however you spent it. I know it can look very different for many people, but I truly hope that your day was filled with Joy & Peace however you spent it! As we get closer to the end of another year, I can’t help bu switch gears from holiday mode into a time to reflect. And as I reflect I think back about all that took place this past year, I also find my heart full of gratitude for all of YOU! To have you join me on this journey, and to be able to share a portion of our lived with you is a complete honor, and I find myself so very thankful for the opportunity to be able to share, and for so many of you who consistently pop in and read what I have to say. I have a few things I’m very excited to share with you as we wind down this year, so here we go!

How I Styled our Hutch for Christmas

If you have been following along on moving journey this year, then you know this year I have no shelves to style for Christmas. Our open shelves in our kitchen at our previous home were one of my favorite areas to style for Christmas. In fact it was usually the first place I would start to decorate, and I just loved the added touch the Christmas decor would add to my already favorite spot in the whole kitchen. If you haven’t seen how I styled the shelves in our old kitchen for Christmas, you can check it out HERE. However, this year instead of styling shelves, I have a new hutch to decorate! The hutch in our dining room is all decked out for the holidays, so today I’m showing you how I styled our hutch in the dining room for Christmas.

elieve we are less than a week away to Christmas. The kids are counting down the sleeps, and while I still have a few stocking stuffers left to buy, we are all very excited to have our first Christmas in our new home. There is something so magical about the glow of Christmas lights at night around the house. I was walking into the kitchen the other night, and my eyes began to dance around the room from one sparkly set of lights to the next. So today I’m joining up with some blogging friends to show you what our house looks light at night.

ur guest room. I almost didn’t share it because it felt almost too “simple” in the terms of Pinterest worthy content, but I was so happy with the impact that just a few simple Christmas decorations can make, I wanted to share it anyways. Your sweet comments showed me that I was on the right track. That we don’t have to go all out to spread a little Christmas cheer, and that my heart for the holidays is to simply welcome people into our home and make them feel loved. You can see the post HERE, in case you missed it, and today I’m sharing how I decorated the fireplace in our kitchen for Christmas! You guys this is the first time I have had an actual fireplace to decorate for the holidays, and it’s a BIG one. I’m so excited for you to see it!

Nothing like a little Christmas Decor to make a room feel more finished! I hadn’t planned on sharing this room with you yet, but I styled this little corner in the guest room we have upstairs, and it just kind of spilled over into me adding more Christmas Decor into this space. I shared the design plan for our guest room downstairs with you all, but did you know that we have a guest room upstairs too?! EEK! I had planned on sharing some of the progress this room has taken with you after the holidays, but I just loved the subtle Christmas decor I added to it so much, I wanted to share it with you all too! So enjoy the first glimpse into our guest room upstairs decorated for Christmas.

a long time. It was so fun to open up my bins this year, and pull out my favorites. For this years Christmas decor I stuck with mostly green and white, and some earthy tones. I love how this simple color scheme really allows the greenery to pop I’ve sprinkled throughout our home, and today I’m sharing our Living Room decorated for Christmas.

Thanksgiving Tablescape | 2021

Hello Friends!! Happy Thanksgiving!! I can’t believe it is already the week of Thanksgiving ?! The groceries have been bought, the table has been set, and now it’s time to begin all the prep work so that on the actual day I only have to do a few minimal things. This year we are frying our turkey, and my husband is so excited to do this, so now there is even one less thing on my plate for the big day. I will be honest, it feels a little “late” in the blogging world to be sharing a Thanksgiving Tablescape the week of Thanksgiving, but I still wanted to share some inspiration, even if it ends up being for next years table. So today I’m sharing my simple Thanksgiving Tablescape.

Dining Room Progress

can’t believe that we have been in our new home for six months now! I still get that pinch me feeling when I pull in our driveway, just in awe that this home is really ours. There are so many things that we love about being here, but I can honestly tell you for me it’s not having to wonder anymore about what our forever home will be like. There is a deep sense of being rooted here, and knowing that this not a temporary home for our family, that gives me so much contentment I don’t know if I can fully explain it. I mentioned in my Fall Home Tour that I needed to share more about the progress that has taken place in our dining room, so today I’m showing you just what we’ve done so far, including that new paint color and layout this room has taken.
