Christmas Eye Candy: Style Showcase #113

Christmas, style showcase December 21, 2021

Can you believe Christmas is just four days away?? We celebrated our family holiday this past weekend in historic Galena, Illinois so my Christmas day will be fairly quiet. A couple family members might come over for brunch, but all the presents have been given. I rather like it this way. It provides more time…

Christmas, home tour December 20, 2021

The Christmas week is upon us, friends, and I wish you peace and contentment in the days ahead. No one’s holiday is perfect, but we can still find joy and appreciation in the small things. Like a child’s smile when opening a gift or the comfort of a warm blanket on a frosty night. And…

Counting Down to Christmas: Style Showcase #112

Christmas, style showcase December 14, 2021

I don’t know about you, but I’m a little in shock that Christmas is right around the corner. Our family celebrates this weekend in Galena so it really snuck up on me. I’m hoping to get a couple batches of cookies made before we leave. I don’t know if that’s going to happen though. My…

Setting a Natural and Romantic Christmas Table

Christmas, table setting December 9, 2021

When it comes to celebrating Christmas with my loved ones, I prefer to host an evening holiday meal. I love the glow of candles and the tree lights while dining. It creates a warmth and ambiance that everyone appreciates. With that in mind, this year I created a natural and somewhat romantic Christmas table for…

Swedish Christmas Tree with Presents

Swedish Christmas Decorating and Traditions

Christmas December 6, 2021

One of my favorite schoolgirl memories of Christmas was studying how other countries celebrate Christmas. I envisioned being a Danish child putting my wooden shoes by the fireplace instead of hanging stockings. Or dreaming of one day having a collection of colorful German nutcrackers. Participating in a Mexican Posada to mimic Mary and Joseph’s journey…

Christmas Mantel in a Cozy Sitting Room

My Cozy Sitting Room Decorated for Christmas

Christmas, cozy living December 4, 2021

Despite my somewhat minimalist approach to holiday decorating this year, my cozy sitting room still looks festive with pretty poinsettias and my Christmas mantel. My Christmas tree is in the entryway/dining room, which is located right next to the sitting room. (This post contains affiliate links – see my privacy policy.)   If you saw my…

Simple Holiday Farmhouse Decorations: Less Can Be More

Christmas, home tour December 2, 2021

You’re in for a treat today! I stumbled across a pretty home by Julie Ranee Photography, decorated in simple holiday farmhouse style. I think think you’ll find that a “less is more” approach can end up making a bigger visual impact. Photo by Julie Ranee Photography   The predominantly white kitchen is the perfect backdrop…

Christmas Dining Room: When No Guests Are Expected

Christmas, dining room decor December 1, 2021

Normally when I share my Christmas dining room here on the blog, the table is festively set as though guests are expected to walk in the door at any minute. Today, I’m showing what it looks like now when it’s just hubby and me at home. A little bit of green and sparkles, but nothing…

My Modern Country Christmas Tree

Christmas November 29, 2021

Welcome to my holiday home and the reveal of this year’s modern country Christmas tree. Note that I used the singular version of “tree.” In the past I’ve had at least two trees, sometimes three. This year, it’s just one. I’m committed to keeping my decorations minimal and simple in order to reduce some of…

What Type of Christmas Porch Decorator Are You?

Christmas November 20, 2021

People seem to fall in one of three types when it comes to decorating a Christmas porch. First is the “bah-humbug” who does nothing at all. Maybe they don’t celebrate the holiday, or maybe (like me) they don’t like removing the decorations in bitter cold weather once Christmas is over. Then there’s the “in-betweener” who,…

Christmas Ornaments: Three Styles for Your Tree

Christmas November 15, 2021

A few weeks ago I featured ornaments on my blog and many of you were especially enamored with the felted cuties. I’m also a big fan and would love to fill a tree with them. They’re so cute and whimsical, and I’m glad they’re becoming more popular. In addition to felted ornaments, I’m also featuring…

Handmade Style Christmas Ornaments

Christmas November 8, 2021

Bring a bit of nostalgia into your home this holiday with handmade style Christmas ornaments. I think for most of us, handmade ornaments remind us of our youth. We’d make ornaments in art class or at home with parents. Remember that sense of pride you felt hanging your handmade ornament on the tree? Earlier this…

My Favorite Christmas Decorating Trick with Wall Art

Christmas November 3, 2021

Decking the halls usually means hauling out the garlands, wreaths, and trees. It can be a lot of work but one of my favorite Christmas decorating tricks is swapping out your everyday wall art with holiday art in about the same size. You don’t have to wonder where you’re going to hang a banner or…

Christmas Décor from West Elm: Limited Time Sale!

Christmas, Market Monday October 25, 2021

Is it too early to showcase Christmas décor? Rumor has it that most people will shop earlier this year than last, but I feel like “they” say that every year. Normally I wait until after Halloween to feature holiday decorations, but then I saw that West Elm is having a limited time sale. I don’t…
