decked out for the holidays
While checking out my Pinterest page this morning, I came across this gorgeous, light-filled bedroom, decorated for Christmas, via Traditional Home (surprisingly, the only home decor magazine I don’t subscribe to, which explains how I missed it): I had to check out the rest of the house and it was equally beautiful. What I love…
our house at christmas
Christmas seemed to creep up on me this year before I knew it! We usually get our tree right after Thanksgiving, but I’ve been so busy with work that we didn’t start decorating until almost two weeks later. I didn’t go all out like I usually do, but I’m happy with how the house looks…
dreaming of a white christmas
Last year, we got ten inches of snow the day after Christmas (above). Living in the southeastern part of the country, it was definitely an unexpected, but lovely surprise.

So, I have resorted to diverting attention away from my average-wrapped packages with fabulous details, instead. …
diy: forcing paperwhites
Paperwhites are one of my favorite parts of Christmas decorating. They are so easy to plant and it’s fun to watch them grow each day, but the best part are the fragrant blooms that last well after Christmas. I usually see them grown in pea gravel, but I’ve always had the best luck growing them…
simple christmas
Sometimes, a little bit really does go a long way. For me, this is especially true when it comes to decorating for Christmas. Strings of white lights, fresh greenery, bowls of ornaments, baskets of pine cones, mercury glass and lots and lots of candles make a strong, yet understated, impact. Most of my Christmas decor…
thanksgiving table
While I should be more concerned with the mammoth meal I am cooking this Thanksgiving, I’m sure most of you who read this blog can relate to my obsession with decorating the table just right! My two brothers, my father and my husband could care less whether we ate on tv trays, just as long…
