Balsam Hill Christmas Tree
My Christmas tree went up the day before Thanksgiving and I love it! For almost all my life I’ve put up Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving, but Thanksgiving was so late this year that I wanted to do my tree early. But then I got busy so I only got to do it the day before….so not that much earlier, but whatever. Anyway, I have wanted a Balsam Hill Christmas Tree for years and being the Hallmark Christmas movie junkie that I am (if you are too then you know that they always have Balsam Hill Christmas trees!) it was my top choice. So you may remember last year I…

Marble Coffee Table
Today’s my last day of Thanksgiving break. Why do weekends and breaks always go by so fast? There is supposed to be a snowstorm coming so maybe I’ll have a snow day tomorrow? We’ll see! So if you’ve been following along with my moving saga – I mostly talk about it on my Instastories – I’m almost all moved in and there are just a few things left to my renovation before I can be completely moved in and living there full time. One of the fun things about moving has been shopping for all the new things like furniture. Granted, my wallet and bank account do not find it…

Velvet Pumpkins
While sharing some fall decor inspo on my Instagram stories I shared velvet pumpkins from Etsy and wanted them for myself! Hazards of sharing sales and inspo. The ones I originally saw, from the same shop, had more fall-like colors with mustard yellows and olive greens, but then I saw this set with more jewel toned colors like the emerald green. Since I doubted I’d be at my new condo by Halloween (and I was right) I thought the richer colors would be better suited for me since they could easily translate in to decor for the rest of the fall season and Thanksgiving as well. The pumpkins are so cute…

Decor That Makes You Go “Is It Kind Of Purple In Here?”
Purple, it’s a kind of unloved color. It’s not quite feminine like pink, but it’s not quite masculine like blue. It’s a kind of forgotten middle child. But does it have its place in the modern home? If you love to experiment with decor then yes it does. Even if you’re not too keen on the color, it can fit in with many other modern tones that you see all-around your home. The key is pairing it with colors that either elevate it or allow it to blend in. it’s also where you implement this color as well. You’re not going to paint your front door purple anytime soon, but…

Halloween/Fall Tablescapes
I love sharing tablescape inspo with you guys mainly because it’s an excuse for me to scour the Internet for dreamy table settings. Usually I wait until closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas to share tablescape ideas, but I saw a few people doing Halloween tables and so I decided to do something more Halloween related and less Thanksgiving-y. Now, I have to preface this by saying I basically just chose tables that were more fall inspired rather than Halloween because I don’t really like Halloween decor. I like pumpkins and fun stuff like that, but that’s kind of fall too and not limited to Halloween. I hate and I mean hate the gory,…

Blue & White Ginger Jars
For as long as I can remember I’ve loved blue & white decor – namely ginger jars. Chinoiserie is really popular and if you don’t know what that is it’s decor pieces that imitate or evoke a Chinese motif vibe in western art, furniture, etc. Nice pieces are pretty expensive, so for now I can just admire them from afar. But, one day when I can afford expensive home decor and investment pieces I’d love to have a collection of blue & white ginger jars like the ones in the photo below! I took this photo when I was at the Williams-Sonoma flagship store in San Francisco over the summer.…

Why The Finishing Touches Matter So Much
Image by Pezibear from Pixabay No one wants a half-done job; no one even wants an almost finished job. Attention to detail is key, and when you’re doing any project, you should want to do it right and see it through to the end, and this is why the finishing touches matter so much. When renovating your home, finishing touches are possibly even more important; your home is where you live, it’s where you spend most of your time, it needs to keep you safe, keep you warm and make you happy. If you were to have a new roof, and you didn’t put the final finishing touches to it…
