Ummmm, did you know that H&M has a home collection? Me either! I was totally caught off guard when I followed a cute pillow image on pinterest to the UK H&M site choc full of home goodies.

Welcome to the second installment of Mini Monday! Ok. Now, lets all just admit here and now that despite feverishly pinning and wishing, most of us are never going to have the stunning spaces we collect on Pinterest. Sad but true.

Here is part two of my christmas style mood board mini series: “A Cozy Christmas”. A chance to include peaceful pastels and weathered wood for a break from the razzle dazzle. A little vintage. A little whimsical. A little wonderful, no? [...read more]
Like I said before, I have a pretty cemented classic christmas palate. I like deep shades of red and green, a whole lot of white, some fuzzy felt and a little sparkle. That being said, I am loving all the emerging holiday styles out there. I have so much fun admiring all the variety and interpretations and I know you [...read more]
I have to admit I’m feeling quite proud of myself at this moment. I have crafted up 40ft of garland and 6 ornaments for $4. Thats right $4. This is the first year I have had my own place to really decorate as I choose, so I was excited to add some holiday cheer and try out my own style. [...read more]
