It’s October 1st and time to think about the winter holidays!?! Well that is what we did when the lovely writer Gloria Gale and photographer Jason Dailey stepped into my home in JULY! That’s right…this is what my house looked like in July of 2010.
Speaking of, many of you always ask about my own personal home and want to see what it looks like. I wish I had more time to work on my own home but I just get too busy designing great spaces for my clients! Here it is ready for the holidays, in July.
I do love birds and wanted to be sure to bring them into the space. I adore the close-up Jason took of the roses and bird seed. It is so festive, warm and sweet.
Photo shoots are always so interesting and enjoyable. I took a quick snap here from behind the camera to let you in on the fun.
During the photo shoot. Lights, lights, lights!
Make it fab!

Helloooooo December! This is such a wonderful time of year for looking back at my wonderful Christmas memories as a child…counting presents under the tree with my brother, making press cookies with my mother in her gold and avocado floral apron and getting that special holiday tree ornament every year from my grandparents.
Another favorite memory of mine, falling asleep every night with my own tiny Christmas tree next to my bed. How I loved decorating it so very, very much. It was one of my favorite things about Christmas and now, I want my children to have that same loving and sweet nightlight send them off to dreams of Sugarplum Fairies…
These vintage and newer ornaments from my childhood mean three days less (and counting) until Christmas!
I have put a spin on that old family tradition that now starts on December 1st…I share each child’s excitement and countdown to Santa with their own advent trees!
- December 1: It is an exciting moment to clear a space for and place their own tiny tree!
- December 2: The lights make it magical
- December 3: Every night with jammies on and teeth brushed, they select and add an ornament…one for each day
- Flash forward to December 24th: The star or angel tops an that day of fun as they settle down (or try to) for their long Winter’s nap.
I hope you can have such a fun tradition for your children. Teaching children the proper way to decorate to bring joy to their everyday lives starts with you!
Do share with me what your children think and how they enjoy making their rooms special…
Happy December 1!

I just love Thanksgiving. It is the beginning of the cozy, fireplace-y, snuggle-y times of the season.
I have much to be thankful for this year…including you! THANK YOU for joining me every week on my blog!
Here is a bit of inspiration for you and your table.
Above – a great idea from glamnest…if your name is Sonya! 
When setting your table:
- Choose centerpieces that allow your guests to SEE each other!
- Watch out for candles and the little ones
- Your dining room chandelier should be on a dimmer switch to create a warm feeling
- Keep all of your lamps on your main floor and entertaining areas on their lowest settings and turn off overhead fixtures
- Light your fireplace or a small grouping of candles (don’t use scented candles as it will battle the aromas of your yummy dinner!)
I will add MY OWN table’s centerpieces for you to see shortly, too!
Have a happy, light, fun and joyous Thanksgiving. CHEERS!!!!
