Home for the Holidays

Each year we spend Christmas at home.  Family visits and with three kids we really enjoy a relaxed time the comes from being home for the holidays.

This is our second Christmas in our new home and it has undergone more changes in the last few months.  We finally said good-bye to the last of the outdated, late 90’s burgundy and gold-brown walls that permeated the house and hello to a spruced up and lighter palette of blues and greens and grays. Our house is really beginning to feel like our home.

Day one of decorating. We needed new things to go with the new paint colors throughout the house.

We quickly realized how lucky we are that Garnet Hill sent us new stockings for this Christmas from their Hable Christmas Stocking collection.

They match perfectly with the new paint colors, like the ones on https://www.expressqualitypainting.com/residential/residential-interior/, and will give us a good jumping off point for decorating and setting the tone for the rest of the decorations this year. I’m really glad I didn’t go nuts last year trying to find things to suit a temporary situation.  I like items that endure.

The girls loved the cute felt details and metallic threads used throughout their stockings.  We will cherish this gift for years to come.

Next, we will work on the outside of the home and getting ready to settle in for winter and the Christmas season. Thanks, Garnet Hill!

Garnet Hill is in the middle of – the “Merry Mittens” campaign. Now through Dec. 24, Garnet Hill will donate $10 to St. Jude’s research hospital for every Instagram post tagged with #StJudeMerryMittens.  You don’t need to be wearing Garnet Hill, just show off your mittens (or gloves/cozy winter gear) and you’ll be helping the cause.  It’s a great way for everyone to come together during the season, and up to $15,000 can be raised for the kids who need it most!
