it's a 'Sweet Sweater Season' holiday!

well, here we are, friends.... the holiday season is upon us!

i've been giving this year's theme a great deal of thought over the past months,

and have come up with something that isn't what you might expect to see.

i've decided to COMBINE holiday decor with winter decor!

combining two seasons into one ('holinter'??!)

means simplifying and focusing on creating decor that isn't specifically 'holiday'...

the goal is to S T R E T C H the decor impact from December all the way into February
so that i don't have to spend two weeks at the start of a new year
dealing with taking down the holiday stuff and putting out all-new winter stuff.

i really don't need more stuff.
i want less not more work after the holiday season!
i want more time for fun days on my brand new calendar,
and more time for reading and long winters' naps by the fire. or pool. whatever!
and this season, i'm making it happen.

are you in?! 

...continue reading for some sweet sneak peeks!

my theme this year is 'sweet sweater season',

and yes, you're gonna' see a LOT of repurposed sweaters!

sweaters are cozy and soft and cuddly and warm...

perfect for a few months of chilly winter days & nights, right?

i'm revisiting a few of my past winter projects and updating them in a fresh way,

incorporating my favorite textile with my 2021 color obsession of yellow, white, and gray.

and as always, ANY color accent will work for the projects you'll see!
(and you really should use your favorite colors in your home... yes, even at Christmas!)

my goal is to simplify my approach this year...
by doing things a bit differently, scaling back, focusing on just a few elements
that will bring a gleaming, glowing, sparkling vibe to my home this winter.

as i turn what i have on hand into home decor, i hope it inspires you to do the same...
because we really don't need to buy a bunch of new stuff every year to decorate with.
instead, we can change up how we use what we have, repurpose items, refresh them,
and create a new look and mood in our homes without spending much at all.


the process of creating these projects has been a work of heart for me,
and i am excited to share them with you each week until Christmas.

i hope you'll come along for the ride....
