DIY Fireplace With Electric Logs

Good afternoon! I hope you all are having a lovely Saturday! Last year was the first time in a decade that we didn’t have a fireplace and I really missed having during the holidays. I’d really love to build something like this down the road but I’ve got a few things I’ve got to figure out mathematically based on the room and so for now I thought I’d just build a basic DIY Fireplace With Electric Logs so we could have something for this holiday season (and maybe a few more too before I actually attempt the more complex one).

Adding Some Faux and Fresh Garland Around the House

Good morning. Although we’ve had most of our Christmas decorating done for a while now I did just recently add some more faux and fresh garland to finish some of the spaces off. I added a dried orange slice garland to the shelf in our kitchen, and then I found some garland (I doubled it up to look thicker) I hadn’t used yet this year (but have had for years, similar can be found here) in one of my Christmas bins and hung that on the small bit of railing we have on the stairs and added in some battery operated lights and tied on a velvet bow.

A-Frame Gingerbread House

Good morning! Every year since they were tiny, the girls and I have made gingerbread houses. A few years ago we used the A-Frame Gingerbread house from Trader Joe’s and discovered they were so much easier to work with than any of the other ones we’d used in the past so that’s all we’ve used these past few years and its so much fun!

Lillie’s Aqua and Mint Room Decorated for Christmas

Good evening! Because we just moved into this house in September, we only have two bedrooms that we’ve made enough progress on to share here on the blog. We shared our guest room few weeks ago and tonight are sharing Lillie’s Aqua and Mint Room Decorated for Christmas.

Adding A Dried Orange Slice Garland to Our Kitchen Shelf

Good morning! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Last month I shared about the gingerbread houses that I added to the shelf above our sink for the holidays and then recently I decided to make a dried orange slice garland and add it to the shelf to give it a bit of a nostalgic touch similar to the candles we’ve added to our windows.

Green and White Christmas Table Setting

Good morning! I hope you all are enjoying your December so far. Today I wanted to share some photos of a Green and White Christmas Table Setting I did in our breakfast nook. I used all items that we’ve had for years and years. To start with I snaked a preserved boxwood garland along with center of the table and then placed a vase in the middle of the table and added some fresh flowers and greenery from Trader Joe’s to it.
