Good morning, everyone! Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!
It’s been so beautiful here, with temperatures just starting to dip, and you won’t hear any complaints from me! Any excuse to pull out my favorite cozy sweaters and jackets makes me happy.
Yesterday was an exciting day. I was in the city for the delivery of our first batch of furniture for my New York City design project. After months and months of behind-the-scenes work, it felt like such a significant milestone to finally reach. From there, I met up with a friend to visit a few showrooms featuring beautiful European-style ranges. Such fun, and I’ll be sharing more about that in my next Renovation Diaries post. Not everything this week went so smoothly so it was nice (though nail biting in the process) for everything to have gone so smoothly and everything arrived in perfect condition..phew!
Got home just in time for a fun dinner, and today’s agenda is thankfully a little more relaxed. Getting together with a few friends for a game of Rummikub, which will be the perfect way to unplug and decompress, followed by hopefully an early family dinner with Philip and Co. My kind of Sunday.
Looking forward to a little downtime before another very, very busy week ahead. Meanwhile, over at The Enchanted Home, we are officially in full-blown holiday mode. Ornaments, stockings, holiday decor and so much more are in full swing, and there’s plenty of holiday excitement coming your way. Lots more on that next week.
For now, grab your favorite morning beverage, get comfortable, and let’s get on to my post. Wishing everyone a beautiful and relaxing Sunday-
1 A FEW NYC UPDATES It was so exciting to get the first small batch of furniture into my NYC project.To have gotten to this point felt so good, and now its time for the pretty things. Delivering and installing in the city is no joke! The delivery guys worked so hard and thankful everything arrived in perfect condition.
A shoutout to Rail and Stile who delivered such beautiful pieces, cannot sing their praises enough!
We uncovered the floors in one room, they are pretty, the perfect shade of medium walnut
Started to hang lighting from their current residence, one inch closer!
Fabulous chairs we had done by Rail and Stile (love their work)!
Stair runner going on!
Staging on a NYC sidewalk…an experience
Beautifully made chest also by Rail and Stile…they really delivered!
Another piece from this, this gorgeous desk
And these fabulous lacquer ming style pieces from Rail and Stile, a cocktail tale, desk and dining table for the most fun kids space
2 THE MOST FUN UNIQUE LITTLE CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR THE LITTLE ONES Crazy to say but I have not been this excited over a gift in years:)Saw this book and immediately ordered, really obsessed with it came out. A personalized book where your favorite little person is the star of the show!
I immediately had one ordered for Phillip, I chose the Christmas book because I thought it would be fun to start a tradition and get him a special book every holiday season (and Sophia when she’s a little older). These are so fabulous and what a unique special gift. He is going to love it! They make them for a variety of ages, love that they sent me a preview for every single page,it was even better than I could have imagined (offered in 2 size books)
4 GIFT IDEAS (SO FAR) Though I realize compared to most, me buying a few gifts is not really that early, for me, it is! I am so happy I have already ordered a few gifts, I am really trying to give meaningful gifts this year and that includes some personalize things which I think is always so special. It shows you took the time. I hope to share several posts with gift ideas as I continue on with my gift buying journey. I am racking my brain for a few genuinely unique gift ideas and will be sure to share as I find them.These are all super practical, things I either already own and love or have bought for gifts.
5 A DECADENT BUT MUST HAVE RECIPE! These are so so good! I had to make them. Yes, they are decadent but oh so delicious. I made them with petite filet Mignon, asparagus and a salad. They were easy to make and my family raved over them, a new fave!
6 OUR NEW HOLIDAY LINENS! A little sneak peek at our fabulous holiday cocktail napkins and dinner napkins arriving in about a week! We will hvae a presale on these beauties next week. Such an elegant and festive way to entertain.
Not the greatest pictures but you get the idea, these were right out of production.
Stay tuned for next week!
7 SUNDAY’S SURVEY OK, there is no denying it, the holiday period is upon us. I am not in panic mode….yet. We were hoping to get away for Thanksgiving but with Sophia only being 4 months its not going to happy so looks like yours truly will be hosting again.
As long as I have a few days to organize and prepare, I am fine with it. I actually love Thanksgiving as it is a meaningful, wonderful day to be together as a family, though his year we will not all be here. No gift, no expectations, just a great family day. Curious how your holiday planning is coming along….mine could best be summed up as a work in progress!
Last day to take advantage of our incredible tabletop sale…perfect time to plan your holiday tables! Includes dinnerware, linens, napkin rings and serving utensils!
And that’s a wrap for this Sunday. I hope you enjoyed this post and if anything resonated, tell me about it…I love hearing from you. Hope everyone has a wonderful day, until net time…..
Love the book – I have ones my grandparents made for me when I was little but no pictures of me – that was 50 years ago!
I love them because so personal
That NY project is incredible. They are lucky to have you. Recipe looks amazing, I have to try that. Right up my family’s alley! That Phillip book is the cutest- he makes a perfect little Christmas elf!
I do not plan super early. We always go to Vermont for Thanksgiving, been doing it for 12 years for a simple country Thanksgiving and I normally host Christmas. We have really cut down on the gifts, we all agreed max one thing per person. Makes things so much less stressful and I think most of us can agree, we live in a country where when we “need” something we buy it!
The link for the child’s picture book does not work. Info incorrect. Can you please publish the name of the company or correct the link. Thank you for a great gift idea
Wow, NYC Project is looking terrific! Can you please tell us about the gorgeous wall treatment in the dining room where you shortened the hanging lantern? Is it wallpaper? a painted finish? It’s so so wonderful! Thank you for sharing this inspiration!
