I have enjoyed doing monthly recap posts the last few months so thought it would be good to recap just December and give everyone a post to reference to view all of the Christmas projects/posts of this year. I had a lot of fun doing a totally new color scheme/theme for Christmas this year with […]
Merry Christmas… from our home to yours
From our home to yours… I won’t be posting as much as normal over the next two weeks, but will be back to start recapping the year on Thursday. Have a wonderful Christmas!
Our Christmas front porch (with hanging candle lanterns)
Today I am going to share our front porch decorated for Christmas. It is nothing elaborate and I wish I could do more or do it differently but it is more than I have done before and I love the little touches that I added this year. Here it is in the daytime – but […]
DIY Burlap + Lace Christmas Tree Skirt
I am back today to show you how I made my tree skirt that I showed you in my Christmas tree post last week. I am loving this tree skirt…. BUT, I am not sure that I will be making a ruffled one again. It was not hard, but it was time consuming. During […]

Dictionary.com says it is “any small, pleasing picture or view.” I just love this little area – the bench, the pillows, […]
Giving back this Christmas (with some help from Cost PlusWorld Market )
I am excited to share this post with you! I don’t know about you but the Christmas season can get a little crazy.

Neutral + Vintage Christmas mantel
I am excited to share my vintage, homemade, and neutral Christmas mantel with you today. This mantel is so different in many ways than my past Christmas mantels. Here was last year’s mantel – all burgundy and gold. This year I am trying to leave out as much red/burgundy from my decorations as possible. Just […]
