I’m over here trying to pretend I have one Christmas decorating item out by posting my #hotchocolatebar from last year. 😩 I’ve been in bed with the flu for days and it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen this weekend. All the fall decor is gone but December is so short! I want to enjoy all the decor. Ugghhhh!!!! Anybody else Christmas-less right now? hotcocoabar #glamchristmas #pinkchristmas #easychristmasdecor

I try not to spend too much money on Christmas decor. I like buying a few key pieces every year (or stocking up during after Christmas sales. I like to add colors in that go well with my blue. I'm definitely going to use pink, but contemplating playing up green as well. ⁠
⁠
What colors are you using for Christmas?

I have so much to be thankful for! My heart is full because I have a beautiful, healthy family. A home--flaws and all--and a network of church family members that I absolutely adore.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
I'm truly grateful that you visit me on my curated squares and in IG stories...even when I don't show up consistently (really working on that!) Your support means a lot and I truly want to say thank you to you as well. ⁠ ⁠
P.S. here's a shot of my dining room all prettied up, but empty....because we're on the spending the day at the waterpark @great_wolf__lodge .⁠
Happy Thanksgiving! What are you thankful for? #happythanksgiving #thanskgiving2019

Real talk. I haven't even begun to think about Christmas decorating yet. I'm up to my eyeballs in design projects for clients. We haven't even taken our family photos yet! UGH so behind.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀ I don't usually decorate until Black Friday, but usually, I at least know what I'm going to do. For now, I'll just be the only person on the internet still posting pumpkins. I'm ok with that...when I get back from vacation it’s on!

This chandelier I bought from Amazon is so...weird. I love it but it's a little quirky. It has a speckled gold texture finish. Not at all what I was expecting. But for $87!?--I was NOT returning it. The bones are fab...but I'm debating spray painting it. ⁠⠀
⁠.
The last time I made over a chandelier I painted it in place. I was too afraid to deal with the electrical wiring. Now that I know how to re-wire it, I'll definitely take it down. ⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
It really pays to learn new DIY skills. Don't be afraid of taking on new projects in your home. Even if it's not perfect the first time, progress is better than perfection. #progessoverperfection #diyhomedecor #budgethomedecor

We finally dipped into the 60's here in sunny Florida. YASSS! Welcome to winter in the morning, summer midday and fall in the afternoon. Seriously glad for the temp drop. But truth...I really don't like cold weather. Yet, we're taking a family vacation to the snow mountains in the winter. Yeah, I know. Crazy. BUT I'm still excited. Do you prefer cold or warm weather?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
(And yes, I'm still posting pumpkins and fall decor cuz despite the fact that I'm a blogger...Christmas season begins on Black Friday for me!)⁠⠀
