I mentioned in yesterdays post that Christmas decorating is in full swing around here! If you follow me on Instagram, then you may have caught my stories the other week about my tiny obsession with small white houses to decorate with for Christmas. Ummm I’m not sure where it came from, but I do know this obsession intensified last year, and the moment these cute little houses hit the shelves this year I have been scooping them up. So today I’m sharing how I decorated our “mantle” (a.k.a. the buffet in my dining room) into a tiny Christmas village.

Changing gears up a bit today from home decor, I decided to round up some of my go-to clothing pieces to share with all of you! Whenever I pop into my stories on IG, I end up getting asked a lot where my clothes are from. Trust me, I have no intention of becoming a fashion blogger, honestly I struggle to do my hair and make up once a week, never mind multiple times to be in front of the camera. So here are 30+ of my favorite pieces that I would say complete my winter style look.

Hello Friends! Thank you so so much for all your kind comments about my eclectic Christmas tablescape I shared yesterday. I have to say it felt a little on the wild side for me, but it was fun to try something different, and I’m glad it inspired so many of you too! You may have seen a little holiday bar cart in the background of the tablescape yesterday, with a beautiful piece of artwork on it, so today I’m going to share more that with you. I’m a firm believe that art inspires life, and having it sprinkled throughout your home is a great way to inspire creativity in your home as well.

I think it’s no secret around here that I love decorating with trees for Christmas. Like trees of all kinds, full size, table top, mercury glass, and especially bottle brush trees!! I love their cute petite size, and the texture they add, but most of all it’s their whimsical feel that has me loving the festive touch the add to just about any surface. They are so versatile and can be used just about anywhere, maybe that’s why I love them so much!! So I’ve rounded up some of my favorite photos from past years of decorating with bottle brush trees for Christmas, and sharing a few of my favorite places I like to scoop this tiny trees up!

Hello Friends!! I can’t believe the time has come to include the word “Christmas” in my post titles, but alas we are here. I’m so excited to share our open shelves in our kitchen with you today! They are my favorite place to make festive for the holidays. Honestly, I wish I could leave up the christmas decor on our kitchen shelves all year long, because that is just how much I love it! I recently gave these shelves a little makeover. I took them all down and sanded them and refinished them. To see the process you can click HERE. Here’s a look at how I started bringing Christmas into the kitchen this year.

Today I’m sharing a gingerbread cookie recipe with you, that varies a bit from the recipe we used to make the houses with. You could still eat the gingerbread houses we made as kids, but it was pretty hard. However, this recipe will make the softest gingerbread cookies, and honestly you will have a hard time waiting for them to cool to put the icing on them, and I guarantee you will want to share these with your friends too!
