Hi there, so I have to say I came home from Thanksgiving feeling totally overwhelmed. Between still getting over my cough and dragging just a bit, I went onto Instagram and could not get over how many “totally done” homes there were! I am talking wreaths in every window, trees fully decorated, banisters hung with garland, stockings up…talk about making me feel behind the 8 ball! And about a healthy dose of \u00a0self induced torture. Yes, I know comparison is the thief fo joy but when you have a business that focuses on home decor, there is a certain degree of pressure you face. Fair or not.<\/p>\n

So……I came home and decided to deck the halls in my dining room. \u00a0I decided I would not succumb to the stress but would try and tackle one space every week for the next 3 weeks. Remember, we did not think we would even be here this Christmas (thought our renovation would be underway by now) but it didn’t work out that way. Its challenging for \u00a0someone like me who always likes a home project and who wants everything to be “just so” to work with things as they are, because all I see is wanting to paint, redo the floors, change window treatments, etc….but making themes of things.<\/p>\n

I decided to do a classic blue and white theme with red…very traditional. And in this room I actually love the way it came out. The pops of red really add something to the festive vibe and it’s just enough color to accentuate the blue and white beautifully. \u00a0will soon be adding white amaryllis and paper whites to the mix (growing them now) and within a few weeks hope to have them start to bloom in time for Christmas.<\/p>\n

We are having friends over on Sunday, so this setting will be the first of hopefully at least a few holiday dinners that we will host. Come on in and take a look……<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These are all faux but I usually end up mixing cuttings from the yard in with the faux a little later in the month so they don’t dry out<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Adore this huge arrangement I made in one of our large centerpiece bowls, click here to see<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our 6′ porcelain trees are the cutest placed on every setting, click here<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have a handful left of these beautiful large deer, they are being added to the site later this morning (click here for new arrivals)<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our midsized double happiness vase is a favorite for all seasons<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our sweet are these new holly berry glasses which also double as a perfect holiday bud vase! Click here<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Added these two darling vases with the greenly and berries, love the combination of colors here, click here for this vase<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don’t forget chests, cabinets in your dining room. This took 2 minutes at most, just filled in with some of our faux greenery among the silver and coral for a festive touch!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even have a few girts wrapped (just kidding they are empty boxes but look pretty:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And \u00a0because I like to keep it real, perhaps I was a bit too confident in my holiday decorating skills as I attempted (key word) to decorate this mini 4 foot tree, stepped out to take a call and heard a huge crash!! It came tumbling down faster then you can say Christmas…..almost all ornaments were casualties (had 7 survivors) Will attempt this again today. It’s not always tulips and cartwheels!!<\/p>\n

_________________________________________________________<\/p>\n

And there you have my first venture into holiday decorating for the 2023 season. With luck, \u00a0I will tackle a space once a week and hope to share it here with you. Next up is my tree, and continuing on with the theme of blue and white with red. It is very cheery and festive and I am really enjoying it. Thanks for stopping in, wishing everyone a merry day!! Until next time….<\/p>\n
