Should form follow function…? Function follow form…? Why not put them in the same bowl? It’s tangerine season, and we go through a 5 pound box of Cuties at least once a week around here. By adding the tangerines to a bowl of pine cones, I have a simple, everyday winter centerpiece and I […]
Easy ways to organize your Christmas decor and be ready for next year.
Packing up Christmas always makes me feel a little sad. (Also a little tired, there is a lot to pack up.) I have been asked how it is possible to change my color scheme every year… it’s all about color coding and organization, baby! It’s so simple, it’s kinda stupid. Store the decor by color. […]
Our home’s Christmas decor… better late than never.
The month of December has just flown by! I haven’t had time to do all of the things I wanted to, but at the same time, I’m not stressed out at all. (Other than having my exterior Christmas decorations ripped apart due to a roof emergency…) Anyhow, I didn’t link up to any holiday “home […]
Make easy Christmas garlands & wreaths without time, money or talent. Seriously.
Yesterday I shared how to hide everyday artwork by just covering it with fabric and adding a wreath. Today I’m almost embarrassed to show you this stupid-easy way to turn the fake, plastic greenery into something that looks totally real. For free. It’s fast, easy and literally anyone can do it. When it’s fake, you […]
An easy way to turn your everyday wall art into something festive.
The things that work with my everyday decor sometimes just won’t work at Christmas time. For example, I love the Family Rules art piece that hangs over the buffet in our dining room, and come October, its orange color is a perfect pairing with the black and silver of my Halloween decor. However, when Christmas […]
The one where Southern California weather jacked up my Christmas decor.
It’s Christmas time! Perfectly trimmed trees… angelic children, playing nicely in front of a roaring fireplace… the delicious smell of holiday baking, wafting through the house… wrapping and shopping are done… That’s the image that many of the gorgeously decorated homes all over the internet are showing us. But there are a few brave bloggers […]
Why I change my Christmas colors each year. (And what I’ve done for the past five…)
I love decorating for Christmas! The season is so special to me that I want to decorate everything! I obsessively and impulsively buy Christmas ornaments through out the year. (I might have a little Christmas Ornament Problem… I’m trying to get help) It’s a sickness. I can’t help it. But would it make a difference […]
Thanksgiving tablescape. A rained out Thanksgiving: going to Plan B (with minimal freaking out.)
My dining room is too small to fit the 15 to 20 people that come over for Thanksgiving dinner, so I always host it outside on our patio. Living in Southern California, it’s usually safe to do this. However, this year there were cold temperatures (62 degrees. brrr!) and a threat of rain. (Yes, yes, […]
Spray paint takes Halloween into Thanksgiving…
I usually hate my mantel, but for Halloween I was pretty happy with it. I really liked all of the elements and the balance the large Raven artwork helped to create for the champagne bucket full of black sticks. Obviously I can’t leave the Raven up there, so I will need to find something else […]
The Great Halloween Party Wrap Up (2011 edition)
I love hosting parties and dinners. I love getting ready for them and creating special little details. I love my friends and family so, so much, and I’d really like to be able to say that all those little details are for them and for them only… but that wouldn’t be completely true. Creating the […]
