Christmas 2024

Welcome to our home for the holidays! I usually adorn the staircase garland with ribbon but I didn’t want to use any this year (I made up for it in other rooms though). I wanted a minimalist look so I only added these flameless candles. I wasn’t sure how it would turnout but I love the simplicity and festive feeling, kind of old world like. For the tree in our kitchen, I went with a nature theme. I used lots of ribbon for bows, dried eucalyptus and clear glass ornaments. Here’s a close up of the beauty. I’ve had these …

Christmas 2023

Welcome to our home for the 2023 holidays! This year I’m embracing nature, earthy touches, and neutral colors with a touch of traditional reds and greens. Our kitchen tree is an ode to our vacation to Quebec City, Canada because we enjoyed macarons and hot cocoa almost every night in old Quebec. So there are several macaron ornaments on the tree. This summer I found out that I love ferns (mostly because I haven’t killed them yet). It started with one and now I have three. I decided to leave them out on the kitchen table and dress them up …

I focused on neutrals and nature. I bought this table …

Seasons greetings and welcome to our home for the holidays! If you’ve seen previous holiday seasons here at the home of Tina’s Chic Corner, then many of the decorations might look familiar to you. I like to re-use my decorations in different ways and in different rooms in order to give the items new life. Plus, I have fun creating new looks. One of the reasons why I start decorating the week before Thanksgiving is because I like to move bits and bobs around until it feels right. The entry way greets you with a warm winter feel. I used …

Christmas 2020

Merry Christmas! I usually start decorating our home during Thanksgiving week, but this year I started even earlier. Maybe right after Halloween? I started with a few pine cones and pine branches in the kitchen and assured my husband that I was only decorating for winter. In truth, that is how it started. I was inspired by this Santa and so I thought I’d go just go with the flow and move him here (and hope that maybe my husband wouldn’t notice Santa made an appearance mid November). Since our dining room has become puzzle central and we’re not entertaining …
