Although it is 60 degrees and I have my windows open, winter solstice has officially arrived here in Western Kentucky.

Aside from taking the Christmas tree down in a few days there is very little I will have to do to transition the homestead into a cozy abode this winter. I hope you enjoy gathering inspiration from these spaces like I did bringing them together. Each idea is unique and would be a wonderful wintery addition to your home. I…

I am elbows deep in packing boxes and cleaning out soooo much clutter before we move. That is how I discovered the peices for this little gem. I was in my “office” which has really just become a storage area forall of my supplies and projects when I came across these candles, and an old broken tray. They were not stored together and, in fact, separately, they all looked pretty sad. With me being in clean-out mode they were tossed mindlessly into the donate box. Yep, this project almost didn’t even happen. It wasn’t until I was loading things into…

Nonetheless, all of the homemade ornaments are staring to grow on me. This tree in particular is taking on a more modern, neutral vibe without sacrificing that little something special. This ornament is super easy, cheap and…

Y’all.… in case you didn’t already know, I am in full blown Christmas mode over here! No I am not decorating yet but I sure am doing my best to prep and create decor for my transition from traditional reds and greens to a more neutral palette. Changing color schemes can be difficult and those price tags will start racking up quick! So far I have been making plenty of ornaments and picking up some here and there at the dollar stores around town. However, the trouble I am running into is that most of all the jumbo styled ornaments…

I am up bright and early on this chilly October morning sipping my coffee in my fuzzy socks and dreaming of all the beautiful Christmas things. The lights, the ornaments, the trees, the gifts. Every little thing about Christmas makes me so giddy. Typically I am a Halloween gal, and believe me when I say that both Halloween and Thanksgiving deserve their time in the spotlight, but this year I am really fighting the urge to jump head first into Christmas. You see the thing is, I like to think ahead. For weeks now I have been getting a plan…
