Good afternoon! I hope you all are having a lovely weekend! I thought I would share some photos I took of the Christmas tree candles in our library last week seeing how I am about to add a few little touches of red in here so figured I’d share these images before I went ahead and did that.

Good morning! Well, it’s starting to look a lot like Christmas around our house. Although I am definitely not done decorating I have made quite a bit of progress so far and thought I would share some of that today along with some Christmas finds like this set of adorable Gingerbread Nutcrackers (or technically Gingerbread Toy Soldiers) from our sponsor Wayfair (links are paid links).
Good afternoon! Today I thought I’d share some of my favorite Christmas Frame TV Artwork. I enjoy switching the artwork around particularly during the holidays. There are so many inexpensive options to choose from and it’s fun to switch it up depending on the day or mood. Over the weekend I shared the DIY fireplace I built and while I was building it I also built a frame for our Frame TV to give that whole space a more finished look.
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).
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.
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!
