Is romantic a word you’d use for the holiday season?⁣ ⁣ With the hustle and bustle, shopping and spending, parties and dinners and riotous color, I’m guessing not.⁣ ⁣ But why not?⁣ ⁣ Why not slow it down a bit?⁣ ⁣ Why not aim for a gentler time, … instagr.am/p/CXSAvDLAFXI/

Did you ever look around your space and wonder where on earth could you put a tree?⁣ ⁣ It’s easy to pull out all the stops with your holiday decor when you have a sprawling home with cavernous rooms, high ceilings and front and back yards.⁣ ⁣ But wha… instagr.am/p/CXHtoH0NJ_Z/

Sometimes I think it takes me a few rounds to get it right.⁣ ⁣ I started the season with a pretty firm idea of where I wanted to go with my color palette, then experimented with a few twists and ultimately got back to my initial plan.⁣ ⁣ Specifically… instagr.am/p/CW9aaQgr28X/

All that glitters is not gold.⁣ ⁣ Sometimes it’s silver!⁣ ⁣ In fact, some of my favorite table settings utilize silver tableware and accessories to impart a feeling of nobility and celebration.⁣ ⁣ In this season chock full of holidays and festivi… instagr.am/p/CW4Q3JcpgNl/

Even a teeny-tiny space can be broken up into zones.⁣ ⁣ I’ve tried over and over to decorate this space and up until now I was never quite happy with it. Yes, there were bits and pieces I liked from past attempts, but it never all fit together.⁣ ⁣ I … instagr.am/p/CW0pMTjJeDE/

It’s really hard to feel down when you’re surrounded by pink.⁣ ⁣ Such was my thought when I set out to decorate for the holidays this year. My favorite tree thus far was the white tree I did last year, with pale pink ornaments. But I’ve since re-deco… instagr.am/p/CWvfg_FMS00/

Did you know I never got a set of china when I got married?⁣ ⁣ Yep. True story. We never even had a registry. I was thinking about this the other day and how ironic it is that I collect tableware. By now I have several sets of china, mostly inherit… instagr.am/p/CWqV9-3NZi2/

There are some things that just come so easily because they fit with your natural style.⁣ ⁣ Like the way I felt the first time I traveled to France and found a romantic culture and design sensibility that spoke to my creative soul.⁣ ⁣ Such is how I f… instagr.am/p/CWinhl_MHCR/

Shiny objects.⁣ ⁣ They’re the symbol of distraction. The things that grab our attention when we’re supposed to be getting important work done. They’re what we’d rather be doing or crave to be entertained by.⁣ ⁣ It’s no coincidence that this is the te… instagr.am/p/CWdd79us61U/

Do you bring the holidays into your kitchen?⁣ ⁣ Or is your workhorse kitchen too cluttered to even see decor you might add there?⁣ ⁣ I love to decorate the kitchen with a light hand and in my blazing white kitchen, a little goes a long way. ⁣ ⁣ C… instagr.am/p/CWYUXo2NI29/

I like an abundance of holiday decor but I like it to be understated.⁣ ⁣ Sound like a contradiction?⁣ ⁣ Well, not entirely. If all the components add up to a cohesive whole that says ‘casual elegance’, your home can be both fully decorated and at the… instagr.am/p/CWTKyMYN580/

If there’s one thing I didn’t need more of, it was dishes.⁣ ⁣ But then again, when you have a passion and it makes you happy, why not? ⁣ ⁣ Why not make your tables lovely? Creating a beautiful atmosphere to spend your time in makes life more joyous.… instagr.am/p/CWQlLbjs6Ps/

Over the past few years I've made sure to create at least one new holiday tree-decorating post to inspire my readers. ⁣ ⁣ I’ve taken pains to select and adorn my trees in such a way as to reflect my taste for French inspired decor and Old World Europ… instagr.am/p/CWLbkAItwjr/

I’m not a fan of tomato red.⁣ ⁣ In fact, I feel pretty much the same about red and green for Christmas as I do about orange in autumn decor. It’s not that I avoid it at all costs, but it’s definitely not my preference. There are so many softer and p… instagr.am/p/CWGSAOFMWkQ/

Stoneware for everyday, fine bone china for special events.⁣ ⁣ That’s what I used to think.⁣ ⁣ But oh, was I missing out on some very special categories in between. It turns out, there are gorgeous pieces of tableware that, in addition to being art o… instagr.am/p/CWBIVSrJYoN/

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a yacht?⁣ ⁣ Or a castle in France? Or a fleet of Bentleys?⁣ ⁣ After all, who wouldn’t like a little luxury in their life? The truth is, luxury means different things to different people, but in a world where our days can b… instagr.am/p/CV-kVIVgwA4/

Tell me if this sounds familiar.⁣ ⁣ You wake up and you think, “wow, I can’t wait to go through the boxes and shelves in the garage/attic/basement and dig out all the holiday decor! I want to pull out and fluff the trees, unfold the garlands and spr… instagr.am/p/CV5T7--tYaM/

What’s the first thing you think of when you think of Christmas?⁣ ⁣ How many of you said pink peonies?⁣ ⁣ Hmm… no one??⁣ ⁣ That’s ok. I kind of pride myself on being a bit of a rebel. So I set a holiday table using my beloved peonies and some p… instagr.am/p/CV0KaCPMkoQ/
