Christmas decorating | master bedroom
I bought some greenery over the weekend (and clipped some from obliging trees as well) and we picked up the Parsons’ family Christmas tree yesterday. The intention was to have it all decorated by the evening, but that didn’t happen. As soon as we got the tree in the room, I realized it was the […]
ring mold advent wreath
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend! We got back from visiting family for Thanksgiving late last night and even after a long ride in the car, decorating the house for Christmas was on my mind as soon as I walked in the front door. I saw my newly sanded wood floors, the […]
Christmas decorating inspiration
Some of you have mentioned that you notice my style evolving, especially over the past year. I have been making an effort to get rid of things I don’t really, really love and that editing has made a big difference in my home. Most of the furniture is the same, but stripping away the excess […]

This weekend, we finally took the plunge and sanded down our floors. I’ve been wanting to for a long time…well, and not wanting to at the same time. It’s a total pain. It’s messy and it’s really hard work, but I got it in my mind that I really wanted it done before decorating for […]
upholstered Christmas banner tutorial
A few weeks ago, I was browsing Christmas decor and tripped across this sweet “Happy Christmas” banner at Terrain. The vintage-looking stuffed velvet letters appealed to me, but I wasn’t a fan of the color or the unevenness of the letters. I liked the idea of making one, but I had to think through how […]
