Modern Stencil Decor

When I think of stencil decor, I’m reminded of the antiquated stencils of years past where decorators would emblazon their homes with borders of green sponged-on ivy.

Soothing and Spirited Warm Drinks

Just because the holidays have passed doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy soothing and spirited drinks. Anytime I’m entertaining friends I like to make each occasion special, even if its just for game night!

Lovely Luminaries

Around the country people are decorating for the holidays. One of my favorite traditions is that of entire neighborhoods celebrating together and collaborating on decorating their driveways and streets with luminaries.

The spirit of giving that comes along with the holiday season is the perfect time to tell the ones you love how much you care about them.

The Gift of Wrapping {Part 1}

Without a doubt, the holidays are my favorite time of the year and since they are right around the corner, I’ve been thinking a lot about gift wrap. Each year, I try to individualize each present with unique wrapping to make it extra special.

A Whimsical Tabletop

I truly enjoy creating a tabletop that tells a story, whether it’s an elegant one, a classic one or in this case, a whimsical story that will intrigue your guests and appeal to their sense of humor. I found a variety of unique pieces each with their own abundance of character for a playful tabletop that will be a great source of conversation.
