Glam Christmas Throw Pillows {Holiday Thrift Store Challenge}
A few weeks ago, I invited several of my blogging friends to participate with me in a challenge: spend under $25 at a thrift store to create unique Christmas decor, either by giving the items purchased a makeover or including them in a creative vignette. I was thrilled when 29 lovely bloggers got on board with me and am so excited for the inspiration we have to share today! You will find all of their projects listed at the end of this post and are going to love the creative ideas these ladies came up with! I came up with this challenge after a trip to the Salvation Army, when…

DIY Printable Christmas Village {Anthropologie Inspired}
Today, I am thrilled to be participating with several other talented bloggers to bring you tons of early Christmas inspiration and free printables! I created a diy holiday village for our mantel and for you! Simply print it off, cut it out, and voila…instant Christmas town for you to display with your festive decor. A few weeks ago, I saw this gorgeous ceramic village set from Anthropologie, and I fell in love with it. It is by a very talented artist and has a charming, illustrated style which I love… It is no longer available (not that I would have been able to afford it anyways, let’s be real here),…

A Little Christmas in July…{a look back} & a Link Up Party!
If you are a Hallmark junkie like me, then you know that this week they are running their “Christmas Keepsake Week” with lots of their holiday movies showing every day and night. I can’t get enough. I love watching those cheesy, feel good movies, not matter what time of year it is! Now, I know that some of you are like me and enjoy keeping the Christmas spirit alive all year, and others don’t want to hear about it until after Thanksgiving. If you are the latter…I am afraid you won’t like this post much. I can respect that. But in honor of the “Christmas in July Spirit” that is…

Holiday Home Tour | Part Five | The Playroom
Welcome to Part Five of my Holiday Home Tour! I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas. We certainly did and enjoyed hosting dinner on Christmas day. We crammed 14 adults and three little ones into our 1300 square foot home, which made it pretty cozy. Everyone enjoyed themselves and lots of love could be found wherever you turned. Today, I want to welcome you into our playroom to see how we had it decked out for the holiday season…(and again, as in my other posts, this room being this clean is a real rarity! There are normally toys everywhere, and it literally looks like a natural disaster hit.…
