Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor

December 19, 2014 · 3 Comments

Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas DecorThere is nothing more beautiful than a house adorned with fresh pine garland, tied up in bows, filled with the invigorating scents of winter, and a twinkling gilded tree. I love when my house is decked for this special holiday, and although it takes me about three days to put everything together, I wouldn’t trade the feeling of sitting on the couch watching a holiday movie, and seeing the pretty christmas tree perfectly lit, or walking down the stairs and getting slight whiffs of fresh pine. It simply puts a smile on my face, filling me with feelings I only get this time of year. It simply makes me the happiest. I may be a bit behind this season, but I still wanted to share a few snippets of my home during Christmas. Hopefully it can inspire you if you’re still needing some last-minute holiday decor for next week, or to just make you smile.

Every year I buy fresh pine garland, and this year I choose to create half wreaths on either side of the table. To use this table-scape as inspiration for your Christmas dinner, simply run the pine garland along the center of the table, instead of curving onto guests’ table setting. Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas DecorEvery year for as long as I could remember, my parents and I would head into New York City on December 23rd. We’d visit the iconic Rockefeller Christmas Tree, and see the amazing department store window displays, feeling the magic that is Christmas in New York City. My parents, were a bit under the weather this year, so the boyfriend, the sport that he is, accompanied me, as I embraced my childhood holiday giddiness. Our night ended with an amazing meal of Lobster Mac N’ Cheese at Todd English’s Food Hall. As much as I may not enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city, there is something just uniquely magical about this city during the holidays.

It can be easy to get overwhelmed and lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas, but don’t let the beauty of the holiday slip away these last few days.

I love how they make a statement in larger arrangements or more minimalist creations, but even more so, beautifully grouped together on their own in lovely vintage bud vases. Spring certainly has so many wonders & simple intricacies that bring us joy, even if for a brief season🌿

Always embracing the subtle beauty that saturates Always embracing the subtle beauty that saturates the simple things🤍

I’ve found the less I share on social media the more authenticity thrives. The ever-dream & idea filled mind grows & flourishes. It’s been comforting knowing that other creatives I’ve admired for years, both event related & not, have in part felt the same. When one creative outlet was paused, the other creative ideas that had been hibernating in the mind, quietly waiting for their time, began to shine brighter & brighter. Yes, it’s been comforting feeling that commonality in change & perspective...

But the one thing that’s never changed for me, is celebrating the beauty in the simple things. Giving a new home, a new form of life to a simple treasure. Those subtle everyday moments that are beyond inspiring...
Whether you celebrate the holiday or not, may it b Whether you celebrate the holiday or not, may it be virtually or safely together...I hope you all make the most of your spring weekend🌿
