Winter Farmtable in the Garden Room

I've come to realize when transitioning from one season or holiday to the next, that I need to think about my floral arrangements early on. I'm a big believer in keeping my decorative floral containers true to season and reflecting what I might see in nature. 

All About Home 178: Winter Decor DIYs

Hey friends, I hope you've had a great first week of 2023! I'm still in a bit of "refresh to winter" mode and putting a few Christmas decor stragglers away. It usually takes me most of January to get it all corralled and packed away. Just today I was working on things and had a sudden pang for anthing relating to "spring". 

Thanks so much for coming by each week and sharing all your fun posts and inspiration with all of us. We appreciate your participation and support! 

Vintage Cottage Weekend and the January Cupboard

Hello friends and Happy Weekend! For a few weeks in January we have a small bit of time that's totally dedicated to warm, cozy, and comfy. After Christmas and before Valentines Day; it's a time to relax in front ot the fire, read a good book, watch a movie, and curl up in a soft warm blanket... without a ton of shopping, big meals to cook or a deadline looming on the calender.

Winter Whites Tabletop Vignette

I don't share this little table often because it tends to be a catch all for whatever I'm putting together in the Garden Room. But it has a sweet little shelf where most of my ironstone pitchers live year round and my vintage silver tray and a mix and match coffee service. It turned out that it was a perfect spot with just the right amount of space to pull together a "winter white" look for these early days of January.

All About Home #177: Bringing in the New Year

Vintage Cottage Weekend: Neutral Winter Dining Room with Paperwhites

Are you looking for a festive look for New Year's Eve that can move into January with just a bit of tweaking? One of the first places that I start making a transition from Christmas to "Winter" is in the Dining Room. I like to move into a more neutral palatte, but still have a bit of sparkle and festive candlelight for New Year's Eve.

Holiday Home Christmas Tour 2022

Hi Friends, I wanted to take a minute and share a short version of my Christmas Home Tour for 2022. Yes, it's after Christmas, but I wanted to do a Christmas tour "Diary" of sorts so I can look back and see how I decorated this year.

Holiday Leftovers in the Cookbook Cupboard

No matter the holiday I always seem so have stray bits and pieces of rooms and vignettes that get left behind. Big holidays are usually the ones where I take tons of pictures, then run out of time. This year there are a few Christmas leftovers still to share. Since I like to keep a visual diary of my decorating year to year, I didn't want to leave them. Especially when a few cute birdies were out in the Garden Room.

Wrapping Up December at All About Home #176

Hello Friends and Welcome to the 

All About Home Link Party!

Hello All, I hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Christmas. We had our older daughter and her fiance stay, and we had a low-key Christmas Eve and Day. Our younger daughter and husband and the new baby stayed in because of the weather and high viral rate of RSV and flu in our area. Our older daughter and I made a quick visit on Christmas Eve to take presents and for Erin to get to see her. We masked up and stayed just a short while. We have lots of Christmases ahead, and want her to stay well.

Thankyou all so much for taking the time to come by out of your busy holiday schedules and link up all your fun holiday ideas, recipes and DIYs. Amber and I are so thankful and grateful for each and every one of you!!!

Merry Christmas in the Candlelit Entry

Hello dear Friends, I just wanted to come by to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!! This year we have a new little member of the family so it's an extra special time for all of us. Our first grandbaby has arrived and we're all thrilled.

Gathered For Christmas in the Holiday Cupboard

This has been such a busy month that Im running behind (what else is new?) But it's not every Christmas that your first grandbaby arrives! Christmas will be here in a few days and I have to start getting ready for overnight guests and bake a few desserts. 

Holidays at Home Christmas Mantel and More

Doesn't it seem just a short time ago we were celebrating Christmas week? The older I get the faster time flies. But here we are again celebrating Christmas and getting ready to end the year and looking forward to the New Year!

Using Copper and Neutrals on the Christmas Baker's Rack

Hello friends, Happy Week before Christmas!! I know this will be a super busy week for all of us, so thanks for coming by to visit. 

The best news of the Season is that our new (one and only) granddaughter arrived Sunday morning at 12:00 am. So glad she's here! She's a little miracle. 

Wood Block Christmas Gingerbread Houses

It seems like each year there's a new trend in Christmas decor, and the Gingerbread theme is popping up everywhere. I love Gingerbread houses and Gingerbread Men/Women/People cookies as they are so traditional and geared toward the "kid" in us. I think most of us at one time or another attempted a Gingerbread House or cookies. The fun is in the creative process. Also nice if it turns out cute and actually stays in one piece!!

Decking the Halls with Christmas Collections

Hi Friends, Welcome to the Christmas Edition of our Lifestyle of Love Gathering hosted by our fun friend Cindy of County Road 407. If you're coming from Laura's Blog, Decor to Adore you're so welcome here and I'm so glad you're following the Hop. 

Heads Up for Collections at Christmas

Hi friends, a quick shout out for tomorrow's Lifestyle of Love edition where we share how we incorporate vintage items in to our decor. This will be a super fun gathering because we'll be sharing our collections at Christmas. Being a vintage lover and having had vintage market booths in the past just makes me all the more prone to hoarding collecting fun vintage Christmas items. 

so, see you tomorrow along with 8 other collectors to Celebrate Christmas!

P.S. I'm still on pins and needles waiting for the Bebe to arrive...!!!

Did you catch my last post with Greetings from the Christmas Garden Room?

Christmas Greetings from the Garden Room

I have a lot going on in the Garden Room this Christmas. (well, I guess that's nothing new since I usually do!) It's been fun taking a bit of a different theme on the Baker's Rack and the Holiday Cupboard this season, which I'll be sharing soon. But for now I wanted to wish you a Merry start to the Christmas Season, along with my two old Christmas buddies.

French Country Christmas Dining Room Part 2

Hello Friends, I'm back today with Part 2 of the Christmas Dining Room. Since I have so much color in the rest of the house, with a lot of Tartan Plaid, I like to lean toward a more neutral color scheme and a French Country vibe in this space.
