A Cozy Fall Family Room

October 17th, 2018Tina2 Comments

Last week I shared with you how I decorated our kitchen for Fall. Today I’m continuing the tour of our home to show you our cozy Fall family room. I’m all about being cozied up on the couch under blankets in pajamas and watching Hocus Pocus (which I’ve seen at least three times this season). And yes, for a change of technique, I’ve taken some of the pictures for this post with my phone. Sorry if they look a bit funny. 🙂 Candles are a great easy way to create a warm atmosphere. You’ll see that I placed them placed around the room, …

Christmas 2017

December 7th, 2017Tina4 Comments

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I love the spirit, the traditions, the lights, the decorations, and especially the Christmas tree. Every year I start to decorate our home during Thanksgiving week. I like to have the decorations up early to get into holiday spirit. (Come January 2nd I’m ready to put everything away though.) For the entryway, I used a mixture of faux and live wreaths. I love the look of a simple live wreath with beautiful ribbon. It’s also a bonus that it’s budget friendly (especially when you buy the ribbon on sale). I took the below picture at …

Our Home for Christmas

December 12th, 2016Tina2 Comments

I love decorating our home for Christmas. Every year I do things slightly differently. You may recognize some of the decorations from last year or the year before, but I also bought some new things from Michael’s store and Pottery Barn. This year I went with a mostly white wintry theme. I arranged some faux branches to make this arrangement. It took me three attempts before I was sort of happy with it. You can’t really tell from the photo but it’s got sparkles on the leaves. Pretty much everything I bought has glitter on it so needless to say I …

Home for the Holidays

December 2nd, 2015Tina3 Comments

Are you gearing up for the holidays? I’ve been busy baking cookies (tons and tons), but I thought I’d pause for a moment to share what it looks like in our home for Christmas. Some decorations are new and some are from last Christmas (or past years). This year marks the third year in our home. Every year my husband and I get our tree on Thanksgiving weekend. That was a tradition that started with my family when I was kid. Nothing beats that smell of fresh pine. Every ornament has a memory or story associated with it, even the ones …

A Tina’s Chic Christmas

December 24th, 2014Tina16 Comments

Christmas starts early in our home. It’s tradition for us to get our tree on the weekend immediately after Thanksgiving. My husband strings the lights on the tree and I decorate it with the ornaments. Don’t you love my husband’s game ornaments next to elegant ones? 😉 It takes me most of the day to decorate the tree. Every ornament has its spot. I’m kinda finicky that way. Which now that I think of it, may be why my husband doesn’t want to help. We host lots of holiday dinner parties. It’s our thing. This year I used red accents for the dinner …
