You have less than two weeks to prepare for Christmas! Are you ready? My final gift (to my hubby) arrives in the mail today and then I can officially say I’m ready once I’ve wrapped his present. It’s always good to get the shopping done so you can turn your attention to other things like…
Today’s fresh country style home by J. Steven Kemp pairs two of my favorite decorating staples – wood and the color white. The rooms are warm, inviting, and beautifully styled. The living room contains a variety of textures. Shiplap walls hug the room, soft linens cover the armchairs, and earthen pottery graces the built-in shelves….
Get your daily dose of warm fuzzies when you step inside this beautiful rustic home by Martha O’Hara Interiors out of Minnesota. It’s the perfect mountain-style house for a wintry state in the northern part of the country. You’ll find lots of rough hewn wood mixed with natural stone, along with soft drapes and upholstery….
What type of holiday decorator are you? Do you love lavishing your home with festive trinkets and arrangements? Or are you more the “bah humbug” type who grudgingly puts up your tree?

Sixteen more days until Christmas, but who’s counting? Are you ready? Hopefully the answer is yes so you can sit back and relax for the next two weeks.

Have you ever dreamt of spending Christmas in Europe? It’s something I’ve always thought would be fun to do. The historic architecture, different customs, new holiday foods – all of it would create a magical holiday experience. If you can’t make it to Europe, perhaps Canada is a closer option to consider – specifically, enjoying…
Would you dine outside on a snowy day if the Christmas table was set with the most gorgeous red flowers you’d ever seen? I’m not the biggest fan of winter but even I could be lured outside to enjoy the decadent beauty of this frosty scene. Wouldn’t it be fun to rent a cabin…
December is upon us and hopefully you’ve gotten most of holiday tasks done or at least accounted for.

Sometimes I feel like there’s no shortage of pretty homes to share! Today features a beautifully renovated New England cottage by ArchiPlicity, LLC located in the town of Mashpee on Cape Cod.

Christmas came early for me this year! My new pedestal dining table and chairs were delivered the week after Thanksgiving. I gave my large table (extends up to 11 feet) and chairs to my daughter for her new home and found a smaller table so I could move my dining space back to the sitting…
All of us get bombarded with Christmas ideas and inspiration during the month of December, so I’m hoping to mix in everyday inspiration along with holiday treasures here on the blog.

Soft hues can be especially pretty for the holidays, and this pastel Christmas kitchen is proof positive of that. When I was a kid, we always had a live, flocked tree that towered above me to the top of our living room’s vaulted ceiling. My mother trimmed the tree with pink and aqua beaded ornaments…

Every time I go to Chicago I dream about what it would be like to live in the big city. Chicago has amazing architecture, a variety of charming neighborhoods, amazing restaurants, and plenty of shopping and things to do. I think if I lived there, I’d choose a loft or townhouse in a hip location….
It’s official! I’ve been bitten by the Christmas bug and am now in the mood to decorate for the holidays. Perhaps a few days of snow had something to do with getting rid of the bah humbug attitude. My tree is up and decorated and I’ve created a few vignettes in spaces that I thought…
