an unconventional home
Do you want to create a beautiful holiday home? You aren’t alone.
I love putting together a warm holiday home every year – with unexpected touches. And I often get asked where I found (fill in the blank). Because many pieces are unique – but also because I also try to put them together in a fun and creative way.
Only a few days until Christmas and I have one last tree to show you – our wall mounted tree in the stairway. This year, we used this tree to hang our Christmas cards and it’s a perfect way to keep them visible throughout the holiday season. Plus, it takes up very little space and […]
Will you be entertaining this Christmas?
We host lunch at our home on Christmas Day, which has become one of my most favorite traditions – especially since having kids. We can open gifts at home and then welcome both sets of grandparents and other family members. It’s wonderful.
So as we approach the holidays, I’m all about preparing. Because the more I prepare ahead of time, the better everything runs, the less stressed I feel, and the more I can enjoy the holiday.
If you know me, you know I believe more is more when when it comes to holiday decorating. But in the kitchen, I do a little less – because it’s a hardworking holiday space. It’s still plenty of festive, but there aren’t decorations on every available surface.
We use the kitchen constantly over the holidays – to bake, to entertain and even to hang out. That means the kitchen needs to be ready-to-go. No time to clear stuff off all the surfaces.
And it also needs to be disinfected and cleaned. That’s where PURELL® Multi Surface Disinfectant comes in.
So I’m back to share some of my favorite details – including how I create a lush and festive “designer” style tree. These are the trees you swoon over in stores or on blogs. They look full and lush and are filled with loads of decorative touches.
And it’s a lot simpler to create this look than you’d think.
There’s truly no place I’d rather be than home.
And that also includes the store. Which is why I’ve done almost all our holiday shopping this year from the comfort of my computer. In my pajamas.
We are living in the future.
